I Can't Get Over This


Really. I can't.
For over thirty years I have wished for one of these.
Now that I have one, I cannot quit playing with it.
It's sort of like a little 'doll house' to me.
Everyday, sometimes several times a day, I move stuff around on these shelves. Someday I just may get it right.
It's true what 'they' say. It's nice to want something and then wait a loooong time to get it.
Truly, it does mean more.
I know, I know. It sounds so shallow.
But, I'm having SO much fun with this.
I'm arranging all of my writing books in the drawers below.
Today I made a little Valentine's display. I might even try my hand at writing a love letter. But, not with that feather. No. I'll keep that to be knocked over with someday.




One of THGGM's favorite thrift store finds (this is my day 12 of no thrift shopping) is this lamp.
He admired it for quite sometime at our favorite thrift store.
For thrift, is was pricey, and we didn't really need another lamp.
Then, it went to 50% off, and he had a 20% off discount card.
This lovely Stiffel lamp was $12.50.



I added the gold bells just because I'm weird like that.
Michael's Craft Store had Christmas decor for 90% off.
I could not pass them up. I think they add a certain charm.
They don't. But I THINK they do, so they are staying.
And, since I have stopped thrift shopping for this month I have noticed that the weather has been so terrible I doubt that I would have done any thrift shopping anyway.

Hey Miss Judy! I emailed you a couple pics of MY secretary. It's almost a carbon-copy of yours. 'Cept mine is messy!

I'm so happy for you!

I too now have the same secretary. It was my Mom's and now comes to me - I've loved it forever and a day. My mom had her phone sitting on it and that's where she called me from nearly every day. It's really the only thing I "had to have" from her house. Enjoy yours!
