Favorite Spaces

One of my Pinterest boards is titled Favorite Spaces. Just looking at the different places inside homes is satisfying. Here in my own home I have three nooks that bring me immense pleasure.

HOME ART STUDIO



 

Keeping things organized in the art area can be a chore, for I tend to drag out supplies and make a lot of clutter.    
 
 

A drawing on a Pinterest art journaling page gave me the idea to use a similar back pose for this canvas and to add WAITING at the bottom.   
 

WRITING DESK

 

 

 

  CLOSET NOOK 

 

A small desk fits into this space and allows me to write at night.

 

 

Books, pictures, and art surround me in this space and provide lots of memories.

Well, those are my three favorite spots that I feel lucky to have. But after viewing these photos I think I need to work on reducing my clutter. However, because almost every object has a personal significance, it will remain.  

 

     

The Passage of Time

Well, I had planned to do a lot of cleaning out and organizing at the start of January, but a bad cold interfered with those plans.

I hung the Flavia calendar above the desk that sits in my clothes closet which contains much more than garments. There are also magazines, pictures, mementoes, art, and just lots of things I like.

This lovely doll sits on a top shelf. It was given to me one Christmas by my mother...not when I was a young girl but much later when I was an adult. All the dolls I played with as a youngster were given away to my younger cousin.
I reminded my mom every now and then how wrong I thought that was. Thus, she wanted to replace that loss with this special present.

I enjoy her and some other little girl collectibles that reside on that top shelf. 

It's amazing how fast little girls grow up. When you're 10 or 20, you believe you have all the time in the world. You dream about doing all sorts of things. The passage of time slips up on you.

Another view inside the closet

The statue of the little girl with her face resting on her palm is a favorite piece...as is the redheaded girl on skates.  It's odd how a closet space has become such a favorite space here in the house...guess it's because it holds so many pleasant memories. Yes, it's great to be feeling better and  back on the blog. Thanks for dropping by.

Sometimes you can stumble across the oddest little treasures at Dollar Tree.

I wanted to pop in and say hello before too many more days went by...doing some of the usual...exercising, visiting my mom, pricing items to take by the booth, and trying to squeeze in some art/craft time. Time management must not be one of my strong points. Each day passes before I have accomplished what I hoped to do. Hoping you are having better luck than me...until next time.
