this little 'box' used to be a purse belonging to my mother. it sits on a 'shelf' in my office that used to be (well, technically still is) a stereo speaker turned on its side.
thanks! it was a summer purse. can you see it with a flowered frock?? i'm a pushover for containers, not baskets so much, but cute/interesting boxeschestsetc to stash who-knows-what. part of it stems from wanting to have essential materials close at hand but not just all over the place and part of it is simply liking the look of organized clutter and part of it is trying to find practical justification for things i simply like!! there will be more....
Hehe...I would love to see that with a flowered frock :)
And I'm the same way, too! Piles look less like "clutter" when they're nicely stacked in cute boxes...and I dislike having to run all across the house to try to find that one little item that's tucked away. Why not put adorable things to good use? :)
Also-loved your comment on my post. You always know someone is a true local (or has a daughter as a local!) when they know to refer to that area as 'the cities'. :) I remember one of my faraway friends being so very, very confused at my use of the term 'the cities'.
in the course of small talk with one whom i thought was a denizen of the cities i asked how long he had lived in the cities. he drew himself to his full height (about5'4") and said "i'm from st.paul"
Thanks for visiting my little corner of cyberspace. My name is Ilona. Home is currently a small, central Nebraska town shared with my husband, Tim, and golden retriever, Charlie. I work part-time at our local library - a job I truly enjoy. While the art of homemaking is my first love and you would normally find me dabbling in a variety of crafts, projects and gardens, this year "college student" has been added to my list of daily routines, claiming a disproportionate amount of my time. There are surprises, though, everyday.....
