WELCOME to my 'Happy Place'

When you walk in the door, this is probably the first thing you will see. It is an old receipt holder. I am using it to store the images of the stamps in  my collection for easy access.

Next the ribbon rack, it grows a little every year. Some things get used up, some more get added. Yes those are printers tray's tucked in behind. I am  out of wall space, but have big plans for the trays. Some of them involve finding a handy 'man' to build  whatever I dream up....

I have learned to sort by item category, then color

A pan shot of the longest solid wall. More ribbon, glass front showcase, paper stacks below, podium and the ever growing collection of 'mist'  'spritz' 'perfect pearls' 'dylusion' spray's on top

on the side of the podium, magnetic canisters full of buttons and bits of goodness.

this is where I am on rainy days

The door that never opens. Music boom box below,

 tiny stamp storage on the knob {jewelry organizer},

 magazine rack and the  Gypsy carousel's .  

The layout in this old glass window gets changed regularly.

The hanging organizer was originally intended to be an over the bed valance holder. Works great with clips or even ornament rings. 

This is the door I come in and out of. With my favorite apron waiting for me. 

Thank You Ms Liz for that one.

Shockingly honest look at the desk....shameful I know.
I am one of 'those people' who can only tidy for so long, then I need to make something in the space that I have created.....'YOU ?"

I love little bits of trinkets and baubles, not to mention gaffers tapes. Love the tapes!! I guess here is where I tell you, I am a visual organizer.....I need to see it to remember I have it. I envy those spaces that have everything tidy and in closed cases.
I have tried that unsuccessfully, the only concession I have made is to label the pattern paper , and I now store that in clear cases according to manufacturer and theme.

Display table with flowers underneath ~Sand~Sea~Aqua~my favorite color pallet. Just to the left you can catch a glimpse of the altered case, read more about case HERE or table HERE

Last but probably the most loved piece in my room. 'ALICE' She has a new dress for this photo shoot. Feeling very confident in white this year, and has a new little friend, "Jewels', thank you Joanne, for that one.

Just for fun an old shot of the 'room ' before I had to move it to a larger space......Hmm that desk looks the same to me.....I wonder if I am going to have to take another room...... I didn't show parts of the room that are basically the same. To see the evolution, check out the sidebar, Where Bloggers Create
