shop update....for the room you live in

the living room in my house is truly lived in.

on any given day it can be a  library,  dining room,  office,  playroom and yes, sometimes even shop shipping and storage room.


today i pulled together a few new items coming to the shop and a few that are already there.  they work well in this type of multi purpose 'living room'


for movie night or to simply look like a professional movie buff..


to write that best seller or to just jot notes to friends...


vintage olivetti  and olympia typewriters

to bring the outside in and decorate the walls

framed antique botanicals


to light up a dark corner and plan your next adventure...


a necessary evil,  might as well make it look good



when you can't afford the original masterpiece

and of course vintage books!! i have them stacked on the table,  in the bookcase, by a chair


most of the above are in the shop, some of the others will be coming soon...

Have a wonderful week
Sue

whats up?

a little shop update ~
some are just in the shop..others will be following soon


The sun is feeling warmer, the bulbs are starting to peek up, my muscles are sore from the first workout in the garden.
Ah ha...  i'm feeling a bit of spring fever this week and so is the shop.


a great way to store and display your garden tools & plants


I love this with  garden displays, with or without plants trained on it
vintage wire topiary form



so dainty & lovely, from a botanical studies notebook, with latin & common names,
 antique botanical  colored sketches, artist unknown


a perfect colored vase for  spring flowers, white tulips (my favorite), or  a wow with yellow daffodils
vintage vase,  marked Fortnum & Mason, London


reading or breakfast in bed never looked so sweet,  Ha! (more like a place for my laptop)


sea glass colored bottles,  or how to store, organize and display your supplies
antique mason and canning jars





what's this doing on a spring post??   a little sneak peek of some sweet finds this week
not even cleaned up yet...i just couldn't wait to show them to you


Happy Spring Everyone
Sue

ps; you know I love comments, share a favorite spring display idea with me in comments, thank you
