Colour-coded
Thank you for one of the most beautiful learning experiences I've had - and certainly the most beautiful online EVER. I learned so much from you - especially about grace, about open-hearted teaching; and, of course, about photography." Amy, autumn 2011

Your guidance and how you share what you’ve been through really is a beacon that leads the way. In our society it’s difficult to find the time to come together as women and be supportive and share in a group, but you have found a way to create this, across countries no less! This course has really opened my eyes and heart and awakened so much compassion inside me, for myself and for everyone in the world." - Susie, autumn 2011 class

i concur, purple is super royal – totally fitting for you :)
Van, you ole smoothie you – when we having that coffee? ;)
purple is truely for the passion of life..
my bookshelf is color-coded too. and now that i think about it, i don’t think i have any purple ones! wait, yes i remember now, i have like 3 or 4. definitely not enough purple :)
They say purple is the favorite colour of eccentrics! :)
( it is mine too!…purple sounds grand!)
That’s a gorgeous way of organizing a bookshelf. I tend to buy my books based on color, such as when there are different editions I will pick the color of a cover that I prefer. Yellow and brown/gold seems to be a common theme in my shelves from what I can tell by glancing across the room.
Glad to see someone else color codes their books too – definitely purple! I don’t have enough purple books! And purple is supposed to stimulate imagination and creativity…
I agree! I love purple and I love books. And I judge the book by its cover too. Nothing like reading a good book that looks pretty, right?
:)
interesting way of putting books together.. sure is aesthetic!!!!
purple you say… hummmmm fits you, there is so much purple in your photos somehow!
I rearranged my books from alphabetical order to colour order last Saturday evening. It was a pretty hard core rock and roll evening. I’m glad to see we’re as cool as eachother!
I colour code my books too. And you’re right, my purple section is far to small. It needs more purple books.
purple – passion – regal – i like that
just took a similar photo of one of my mother’s stuffed shelves. i have such a strong urge to rearrange her books this way. love it!

I have a photographic memory, only when it comes to my books. Last week I wanted to help my littlest monkey organize his books and he came up with the idea of catergories on his own. I was so proud.
as a librarian, i can tell you that when people ask for a particular book — say, “the big green book that had a chapter about snakes”, we can put our finger right on it. so go for the purple! it’s a color that librarians everywhere will appreciate…and remember.
love your bookshelf. it makes as much sense as any other shelving scheme. move over mr. dewey!
Swoon, this is something I must try with my own bookshelves! Right now I have them according to genre (childrens, poetry, classics, lbgt, non-fiction); practical but nowhere near as pretty.
Your bookshelves look like my closet!
purple is a good choice:-)
what a beautiful way to arrange your books!
That’s how I have my books arranged! By color :D
totally loving your colour coded bookshelf… i want to colour code MY bookshelf – my books are arranged by size… boring… and yes… a purple book.. i looove purple!!
love it!
I agree, there isn’t enough purple anything out there…
i want to try this! I arrange my books by category and size…i like the color idea though…
what a great idea – books arranged by color. brilliant!!
just the other day my 27 year old son told me that purple is the only colour.
Oh I love this! I must try it out! I can see only one purple book on my shelf, so indeed we need more purple books!

So this is your bookcase? Jam packed :)
I’m afraid mine has no organisation whatsoever. Haha
