Shelving. Not exactly the most scintillating topic. <\/p>\n

But a worthwhile one.<\/p>\n

Often the shelves are simply box store prefabs, not particularly spectacular, except for what’s on them.<\/p>\n

What’s on a shelf can contain a wealth of knowledge. (This particular shelf is a bit empty because I just moved a slew of reference books into my office at work.)<\/p>\n

\"Shelf\"<\/p>\n

What’s on a shelf can make a home beautiful, or fill a home with wonderful food. (I forgot to take a picture of my cookbook cupboard–sorry!)<\/p>\n

But sometimes the shelf is
\nmade by a craftsman.
\nSolid and sturdy,
\nBuilt to last<\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s a gift.<\/p>\n

\"Shelf\"<\/p>\n

Even if I don’t know exactly where to put it
\nor what to do with it,
\nthe shelf is a gift.<\/p>\n

(This particular shelf was given to me at my “shelf party”. The giver’s husband made it years ago, before he died, leaving my friend a widow.)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
