A book plate

The other day someone was talking about making their own bookplate.  "A what?"  I asked, and was reminded of the stickers on the inside of the books at my grandmother’s house.
My grandmother was an avid reader and even claimed to have bought the house she resided in until she passed because it had a real library room.  
A door with a glass window opened into it, and one wall was shelves from the floor to the tall ceiling.  The rest of the room was entirely windows, and it opened onto a patio.  
One day I will build my dream version of that room…

Until then, here is my bookplate.
