A Studio Picture A Day In May (The End)

Every woman should have

her own tools, preferably

newer than these ones!

Buttons, baskets, boxes and
tape...all essential to the

well-stocked studio!

Glass jars full of ribbon

and lace wait patiently

for me to get to them.

The only thing my
studio does not have
in abundance
is space.

a little magic to
be found in my
storybook tins...

Postcards, Bizarro and
my collection of crosses
gleaned from many
thrift store trips.

Another typewriter, and
two chubby birds
nesting on old
school primers.

and colour...all inspire
me and infuse

creativity into my

life...

A place for everything and

everything in its place...

May 10th:

I have rightfully earned the title of 'stationery queen'!


May 11th:

My stash of cigar boxes,
complete with one made
into a purse, (store-bought),
and another filled to the brim with buttons as bright and brilliant as jewels.

May 12th:
My organized chaos

May 13th:

My favourite quote is written on the wall:

"Ask yourself two questions: what do you love to do...
and why aren't you doing it?"

May 14th:

I am happy to recycle other
peoples' discards and

make them my own.

complete with the old
Kwantlen Bookstore

I love birds and birdcages,

I don't like watching
flowers die in a
vase, but dried and
preserved, they

remain beautiful

forever.

Apparently, I have

way too much

"stuff".

May 7th

.

Seriously..can one

ever have too

many books?

.

.

A Few Collectables
