Come sit upon the Seat of Knowledge!

I was out in the Wilds of Washington, ( no Starbucks in sight) when I found this little second hand bookshop with the Mad Hatter just about to do a walk about.  I love second hand bookshops, there is something magical about reading a book someone else has loved. The shop is owned by an older couple with a wonderful sense of amazement. Books are never rubbish! To prove the point, the gentleman created this unique place to sit. So come enjoy the second hand books and sit upon the seat of knowledge! You never know where you’ll come across some magic!

About susan sheldon nolen

It’s rare to catch me without coffee, a form of camera, or my beloved wire fox terriers. I love the history, the art, and it’s a massive part of my life, as I either paint, write, or get interrupted by my dogs, reminding me of the real world. I hope you enjoy your time here. It’s such a privilege to have readers.

  1. Where is that? It looks like Duvall based on the door. I’d love to visit.

    That bench is fantastic. Are those really books or did he just make it to look that way?

    I love old bookshops, Susan… they have a ‘feel’ to them all of their own. I never used to have the same experience in libraries, however, where I always felt I needed to get out. I shall have to revisit to see if it’s the same now. Now your bookshop there looks very interesting!

    • I used to love the reading rooms of the British Library before they moved it to St Pancs. I remember all sorts of little bookshops along the way! Good fun and long arms from carrying home bags of books!

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
