Where I Blog...

I have a few essential items in my blogging space... most are thrifted, of course.

We live in a 1965 split level, and this is my nook. It's small, but there is room for all of my stuff and Max, so I'm good. I didn't even try to hide all the cords from the router, external HD, printer, scanner, TV, etc. Real life dust magnets.

My craft room is right next door and both have an east facing window so there is lots of light. Yes, my craft room always has that much stuff on the table. More real life.

One of the things I liked about this desk was the large hutch and trailer display area. My cars and trailers are the one decor item that has been constant since I bought this desk about six years ago. A photo of my oldest nieces and I on our annual Canada Day holiday, Miss Macy at three, and my first wall pocket find from ages ago.

The Crows of Pearblossom is an old Ebay purchase and the vintage deer was scooped up in January. It has a Quebec town's name written on it. Fitting, as Mr. C.F.'s ancestors came here in the 1600's from France and lived in Quebec for many generations. I love vintage souvenir plates (look closely at the far wall in my craft room) and had to smile when I found this one last week. It's a happy reminder of my fun blog friend Vickie at Ranger 911. So Vickie, I'll think of you (and Miss Finley) when I'm glancing up at Paul and Babe. :)

I just changed up the pictures that hang below one of my favourite finds ever -- sun bleached and lichen spotted antlers that I found about 20 years ago in an old, old barn. The vintage toy phone was a gift from Mr. C.F and the half moon table is one that my mom refinished in the 70's. I think she nearly fainted when she saw that I'd painted it green.

The bun' picture is a 2012 thrift store find and the crocheted heart pattern can be found here at Lucy's. I found this large primitively cross-stitched rose on linen last week in my favourite thrift store for only $3. I love the bright colours. The mat is actually more turquoisey, but I cannot seem to get it to look right. You know how that goes. I just painted the wood frame an antique white and now it's another new old thing that makes me smile.

So, this is where I blog. My cozy nook where the light is good, the craft room close, and the Diet Coke plentiful. All this plus some favourite thrifted treasures. Oh, and new flooring and repainted walls are coming soon. I'll show you the wall behind me when we get those things done. Max is looking forward to showing you his comfy corner then too.

Thanks for visiting!
