Letting Go...

 Right this very instant, it looks like a bomb went off in my studio.
This happens from time to time. You know those old-fashioned toys
where you moved little, square tiles around until all the numbers were
in order? That's how I feel in the studio sometimes. Too much stuff and
not enough room. I bring things in and take things out and still there are
too many things in the finite space where I create. So, I'm going to try again.
 This time, I've decided that one of my "old friends will have to move 
out of Brynwood and on to another home where she'll be appreciated.
 I emptied my little armoire out. All the contents are spread on my 
work table, sewing cabinets and on the floor. I've had her since I
had my needlework shop. She was used to display items that I sold
there. She's served me well all these years, but I really don't have
enough space in the studio - and she doesn't go with the decor in the
rest of the house - so I'm setting this sweetheart free. I'm letter her go.
 I know someone is going to love having her. She's so useful, and
 she's pretty, too. She's painted white, with Cheri Blum images
 decoupaged on each door. She might like a little rework, though.
Don't we all like a new outfit and makeup from time to time?
She stands 69 1/2" tall, is 39 1/2" wide and 14" deep. 
There are four shelves and a single bottom drawer.

If you live "local" to me and would like to purchase her,
please let me know. I'm asking $125.00, and plan to list her
up on eBay on Wednesday. If you're interested, don't delay.

Breaking up is hard to do, but letting go makes space for the creative spirit.
I'll just keep telling myself that.

Road Trip...

 Handsome and I took a little road trip yesterday. We went to Tampa to the 
Ikea store! We were helping a friend who needed our truck to haul home a 
purchase, but we did a little shopping, too. Why not have a some fun of
 our own? We also had lunch in their restaurant before heading back home.

Talk about sensory overload! Sofas, tables, chairs, kitchens and more! This is 
one of those places where you'd just better have a list before you even think 
about going in the front door. Trouble with a capital "T"! We had a great time!
 We even came home with a purchase of our own, but we didn't overdo it. We
decided on two Lack Wall Shelves and we knew just where we want to install 
them. After they're all assembled, we'll mount them on the wall and place a few 
special pieces on it. One will hang on the wall in the studio, but I have a little lot
of cleaning and sorting and tossing to do first. I'd better get after that toot sweet!

It's Saturday, so it must be time for Coffee Club again.
Tag is coming with me today, so I'll let him tell you all about it on Tuesday.
Have a great weekend, girlfriends.
