I have been trying to work out where I can have a tiny art space in my home that suits my needs and the size of our home....it had eluded me until I had seen an old school desk and I loved it. I knew that it would fit in a little nook off our living room.....but where to find one?
Expressing my thoughts to friends not long ago, a friend told we with great delight that she had one in storage...old and very well loved that she would love to find a home for if I would like it......very happy bunny dance here!
I got to put it in place today and try out my vision......call me crazy but I LOVE it!
When my dear friend dropped off the school desk she surprised me with the most extra special gift.....
An antique quilt block......wowee! Its so delicate and I loved seeing the tiny stitches.
I shall treasure it always! It is amazing what some days reveal! Thank you so very much my lovely friend xxx
Now back to sewing related things.....
I have a little pile of YELLOW circles ready to stitch. This months selection for Rainbow Scrap Challenge over at So Scrappy
Enjoy your evening folks.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

ReplyDeleteAh, a perfect desk, and a lovely old one too. It was meant to come to you, Michelle, and join the old bentwood chair. New furniture never has the same charm, for me either. Isn't that old quilt block gorgeous, too. Happy days :) x
ReplyDelete(I'm trying to visiualise the spot Michelle - in the corner of the room closest to the road?) What a perfect desk for you and I love how you have paired it with a special chair. Also what a lovely and treasured block..do you think you will add to it to 'finish' it?
