Here's Bessie in front of her new shelves. 

As you can see in the second picture, it is actually two shelves that I made by cutting an old shelf in half.  The shelf must be forty years old.  It was originally built by my father for my sister, Marysia.  I can vaguely remember when he built it.  It remained in her old room until we renovated the house a couple of years ago.  Now it's back in the same room, which is now Bessie's room.
