For "corners of my home" Thursday, I've taken a photo of a cupboard in my art room. I love this cupboard with it's peeling, slightly chartreuse, paint. On the outside hangs a Wendy Addison star from last year (that was the top of the tree this year), a cool little collage that I bought at Artfest a few years ago from an artist named Phoenix Forrester, and an invitation to a party that my friend Amy and I made together and sent out. Underneath you'll see baskets and boxes and containers that have ribbons and laces and sewing notions inside.
Inside the same cupboard are lots of baskets and boxes and tins that hold buttons, millinery flowers, millinery fruit, old hats, sequins, buckles and small odds and ends. Although I love little boxes and baskets, the truth is that it's not the most practical storage system and sometimes I don't use things because it is too hard to find them in there. It's always a struggle for me; the desire to be totally organized, yet not wanting to use new, more practical systems, like plastic storage containers. Hm.
This old heart shaped candy box is on one of the shelves. I offer it up as a belated Valentine's greeting. Hope you had a lovely day. I thought I'd share some recently discovered blogs I'm reading here since I can't figure out links on the side yet. Hope you enjoy! :
