When our sea crate was delivered, the movers brought everything in and unpacked a lot of it. I simply want to share with you what that meant for our bookshelves:
I guess I'm not sure if they just don't take the time shelve the books well, or if they aren't used to seeing books on shelves, or if the language thing threw them. It was definitely a surprise to me and I found it a little funny. And what is it about the bottom shelf anyway that makes it different?
As a side note, I have cut-outs of my kids names in English each in a single piece of wood. After the house has been dusted, I often find K's name upside down or backwards on the dresser where it sits. I'm sure I would do the same if faced with a Chinese character! Sometimes I just don't know which way is up, and this applies to more than just books and characters!
I think you have to figure out what character the upside down or backwards K name is. My SIL has a character necklace and it is beautiful. It would be a neat keepsake.
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, our bookshelf currently looks like this (shame on me). Chris wanted to unpack the book boxes quickly so he could get to the other side of the box filled office. So he just stuck them on the shelf like that for me to organize later!! It's okay though, I'm getting closer to finishing up the office/craft room.
