Last year I inherited the bulk of my grandmother's cookbook collection which was mostly Southern organization cookbooks (junior league and church cookbooks). I organized those by state/region. My other cookbooks I put together on one shelf arranged by theme.

Recently though we added onto our kitchen island to include two shelves at the end of the island. I haven't figured out which books get the coveted spot in the kitchen. I've put a handful of my go-to cookbooks and I think I'll gradually let cookbooks earn their way to the island shelf.

Perfect!!! I was wanting to do roman shades in my bedroom, but not willing to fork over a lot of money to pay someone to do it.

So jealous! Hoping to plan a trip to New Orleans in about two weeks.

Nothing beats their fresh seafood!

I use estatesales.net to find local estate sales. They are also listed in the paper.

Usually the vendor will put up pictures of most items on the estatesales.net site. This helps me decide which ones are worth going to and which are worth getting there extra early.

Its also wise to get to know the estate sale company. After several sales at each company you tend to learn which ones are fair, which ones are over priced, and which ones are just junk.
