Giveaway

You can link through to a delightful interview with Naphtali here.
It's all part of a giveaway for one of her bags.  I already have several but that didn't stop me from throwing my name in hoping to win another...

I'm not sure who to credit for the photo - Jessica or Naphtali....

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!!

old things new

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.


it holds odds and ends of stationary for me.

another spring rite

who among us doesn't switch purses as the seasons change?? i have a purse and the bag (and i'm very picky about both) i carry to work which has to be large enough for papers, books, magazines, my lunch,whatever. so several weeks ago i switched my work bag for this nifty creation from second street designs.

it's roomy, springy and fun to carry. i actually decided to use it as my purse over the weekend which means i'm on the hunt for a different work bag (naphtali are you paying attention??)












with biking weather around the corner (some corner, some where) i'm going to need something with a longer strap - a messenger bag. hopefully i can get by until our visit to the cities the first weekend in april.
