I had a little fun organizing our bookshelf by color. I wonder what my librarian aunt would think? Prior to this our shelf was a jumbled mess of books. Functional, but ugly. I thought I'd try making it pretty by adding some of my favorite things I found around the house. I really wanted to add my daughter's african print elephant toy that she never plays with-- but she grabbed it back from me, rolled it in her blankie, and slept with it all night. Hopefully, she won't notice the birdcage toy.
