Where Bloggers Create 2012....Queen Bee Cottage

...Hosted by Karen Valentine..
Stop by her blog; My Desert Cottage  and give her
a visit and all participants to see their
creative areas!
Thank you Karen!

Click on the image in the left column.


Without alot of gab here are just a few photos of my home area.
You may have seen them in previous posts.  These photos are updated.
Just a little reorganizing has been done.  Both Ron and I have had
surgeries and we are still on the mend. Nothing serious.







Things look a little better tucked away, to me.
What you don't see are tiny collections all boxed and put away.
The above storage cube was purchased at IKEA along with all of the
boxes and baskets.
Clocks are good, even if they don't work...  :)




My desk...We purchased the desk at a garage sale, the owners
claimed it was over 100 years old.  I have the 4 original chairs.







Every desk needs a good chair!


Buttons are a girls best friend!



See through coffee table...collections


Cameos, button shoe hooks, and old watch faces...Oh myyy.


Confession: when I make cards, ornaments, and things I neglect to take
photos...my bad! All of these little collections I use in my crafting.
My creative space at times can be at the kitchen table, right here at my desk,
watching television, anywhere I can spend time with family
and friends.

I could go on with more photos...but you have to get on to the next
creative space!  Go visit now.... and thank you so much for stopping by..

    Linda such pretty pictures of your space!!
    I wish I was like you and would have restrained my enthusiasm of pictures of my space. Hopefully all will be forgiven knowing that this is my first space and time joining Karen's party and just had to show it off a bit!

  6. Linda,
    What a nice calm-looking space. I like the emphasis on white and the tucked away look. Mine is oozing out all over the place at present, I didn't dare participate this year. Thanks for sharing!
    Hugs,

    1. Thanks Sherry. Between the phtos there are places that I couldn't take pics of. So these were so easy to 'clean up'! Hope all is well with you.

  8. Hello Linda
    I am so glad I came to visit. I do hope you are both on the recovery list by now!
    I love your space here (as much as we can see), your work station dressed so beautifully, your little candle and treasure vignette.
    Take care and thanks for putting these images together for us to see!

  19. Linda...your space is soooo fabulous! Now you KNOW I love it! Quietly serene and so lovely! Thanks so much for sharing with us...

    Now...

    What a lovely note you have sent to me today! Golly...it was SUCH a BLESSING to read your kind words and I want you to know they came on a day when I really needed to hear them. Just when I'm feeling I need to rethink doing the entire blog thingy it never FAILS that SOMEONE come by with a sweet note encouraging me to press on.

    Thank you seems so little to say to you but I'm saying it just the same. I'm so overwhemed with your kindness to me. Evidence of God's Amazing Grace.

    Blessings...and love!

  29. Linda I had saved my favorite bloggers creative spaces and when thinking I may want to get some ikea storage I remembered seeing some .....think of my delight when I clicked on yours first. I wish I had the space to do a wall unit like yours. I'm thinking a closet office area?

    thanks for the inspiration,

    Carole

  31. Hello My Friend,
    You have been on my mind lately, I just wanted to let you know that! Hope the recovery is over and done with by now, as I see I am long overdue in wishing you a speedy recovery. I didn't realize that things got busies the older my children got. I thought once I was done watching them, I was done watching them. Now I am watching them more than ever! Except I am sitting by myself in the bleachers!!!

    Hope you are enjoying a beautiful fall! The colors this year were somewhat muted due to a very dry summer. But I am still loving our warm days and cooler nights!
