Artfully arranged books bring life to a room
Reading books can be an unrivaled pleasure. Staring at them in piles around your home, not so much.
Rows of books crowding your home? Here are six new ways to display and decorate with books:
Botanical gardens benefit: Alta Vista Botanical Gardens will host its annual Independence Day fundraiser at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Brengle Terrace Park, 1400 Vale Terrace Drive in Vista, home of the city's fireworks display. There will be entertainment and Famous Dave's barbecue. The event opens at 5:30 p.m., with dinner served at 7:30 p.m. Beer, wine and refreshments will be served. There is a tax-deductible donation of $50 for adults, $25 for children under 12, which includes reserved parking next to the Garden House. Reserve to (760) 945-3954 or (760) 941-5719.
Old habits die hard.
