old things new

A recent assignment included a description of my 'office' which reminded me I hadn't done an old things post for a while....


We picked up these speakers at a yard sale, used them for quite some time, eventually realizing one had a cracked woofer. Nice wood cabinets - too nice to simply toss, so they became part of the storage and display options in my office. With a quick swivel in my chair I have fingertip access to a phone book, catalogs, mail, camera, mp3 player....
The camera flash caught the speakers through the fabric cover - you don't actualy see them like this, but talk about outdated!!

old things new

several years ago my sister-in-law, leslie, passed along some of grandma helen's glassware. i've enjoyed having and using it. these particular pieces held makeup brushes and compacts.
manufacturers being what they are, one of my standard products changed in shape and size recently and i had to reconfigure my storage/display system. (i like things accessible but neatly 'away')(i like having a reason to use these things)


they have a new home, again, courtesy of leslie.
we visited in early october and after discussing several possible uses for it she sent me on my way with this charmer.

everything tucked neatly away. thanks, leslie!!
