A Stack of Bibles

March 09, 2012
I have collection of miniature Bibles. Not just Gideon Bibles.


My Great Grandma's "Your Small Bible - Revised Standard Version" no date, but a collection of "helpful verses".


New Testament and Psalms, presented to my Dad in memory of his kindness, National Edition, copyright 1941.



Hemlandssanger, Augustana-Synoden 1891.


The Life of Jesus 1927 in English work of M. Renan.

Volrath Vogt's Bibelhistorie 1916.


Holy Bible Concordance, King James Version.


My collection of vintage "Bibles" .


In my "Bibles" vignette, I have included a rosary (I am a Lutheran, my husband, a Catholic), and a few of vintage oil lamps, and my favorite gold framed vintage mirror (from my childhood home).











I hope you like my "Stack of Bibles" vignette! Collect small Bibles, they are inexpensive and so special!

  5. I love the vignette with the oil lamps and Bible. Makes me think of verse...My Word is a Lamp to you feet...a Light to your Path.

  6. Hi, Carlene! I am new to your blog and found you through Brenda from Cozy Little House. You were on her Welcome Wagon post for this past Friday. LOVE your blog and I too have a collection of Bibles about the house! I love what you did with yours and I'm looking for new ideas for my new house. I need to put some more decorative things together, because I have a lot of space to fill here. I moved from a much smaller house and this one feels cavernous! I'll be visiting again.

  7. Oh I love this. Having them out on display is so much better than tucking them away on a bookshelf where they are never seen. Thanks for linking up atmy party.

  8. I was just thinking to myself how nice it is that the colors are similar. If I stacked my collection of Bibles, you would see black, tan, brown, red and white. It's an odd mix of colors though each are very special.

  16. I really like your stack of bibles. I am discovering my design style and I like rustic elements. I am hoping to find some old books (bibles would be great) to incorporate into my home somewhere.. Thank you for sharing!

  18. What a pretty rosary, and the Bibles are a lovely and special collection. Love the mirror from your childhood home too. A very pretty vignette.

  19. How wonderful that some of your Bibles belonged to family members. That makes them even more special. Many years ago, I gave my grandmother a pretty pink, "large print" Bible. When she passed on to heaven, I inherited that same Bible. ;)

    Thanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday.

  22. Love the bibles. And you're saying that vintage ones are inexpensive? Where did you find yours if you don't mind my asking.
    I would love to do something like this as well.
