Corner Bookcase in Pink and Black

This is the corner case as it looks this month in pink and black. The inspiration for the color theme was the recipe box on the second-from-the-top shelf. Until someone thought to gift me with this elegant box, my recipes were crammed into a little plastic card file holder, with no lid. It was very ugly. I was happy to change over to the new one!

Besides the color theme, the shelves ended up with "Sit back, relax, have a cup of tea, sew a little and read a good book" theme.
 I thought perhaps some readers may like to know what is on the shelves in more detail, so below I've listed the book titles.

Starting from the top shelf, back to front:

Large pink book is a home-made "magazine" called "Serendipity" that my mother put together with pretty pictures on pink paper.

"Keepers at Home" book from www.keepersofthefaith.com

"Daughters of Eve" study of the women of the Bible by Lottie Beth Hobbs

A Latin Grammar book from about 100 years ago... probably hasn't been opened in about as long!

"Marcia Schuyler" by Grace Livingston Hill (a very favorite)

Cute pink mini metal bucket with all the pink crayons from the crayon box
