found this treasure

at rarely open "vintage store"

its for maps

but works great in

Brazos Star Homes

office for blueprints

so compliments many other

antique pieces

(not to mention the valued CEO)!

granite top

measured for & picked out

from granite yard

being cut

as we speak

installed next week

what fun i had making the plates

for each drawer

used teletype font

love the yellow paint smudge

(i didn't create that one)

will post pic next wk when

granite is installed

happy labor day

always a very special one

for this family

much to celebrate

beginning with the

birthday of

my beloved daughter

~

took a day off from working

to go antique looking around

came up with some treasures

for magical vignettes

 back to school

whether you go or not go back

 old jars

for

doggie treats

 dried herbs

fresh herbs

snuff

ring bell for service

this is just magical

in the citchen-counter-corner

now back to work on:

straightening office from

storm of creativity

& creating name tags for

faithbook

praying for each lady

as i design, type, print

& embellish her nametag

avery template 74536

but printed on designer paper

not your "normal" nametag

need magical wand

my art projects of late

have left my office in

a state of confused glittered

painted messiness

the picture below is my goal

for the next few days

 pulled from My Pictures

of past orderly days  

this magical vignette

will be my inspiration for

a more orderly enviroment

a welcomed return to my space

note to you: if you come to my office & ask

for a pencil, you will have to

 bee more

specific!

is organization over rated?

don't think so

stairs painted with

ledgers, records & journals

downstairs is where the CFO works

so these type of books are

appropriate for this vintage office

Beatrix Potter is happy

for the project to be completed

so someone will play ball

see the difference in the types

of books between

the two offices?

hoho

hi & magic to all Mary Kay Andrews

fans for visiting my blog!

stairs extraordinaire

 it was a challenge to paint with

Beatrix Potter

who spent the days

thinking this was great fun

as i sat on, laid on & painted on

the stairs

up & down for more paint

different brush, water or rags

& back & forth cleaning brushes

does this count as exercise?

(for me)

bp is now napping

think i'll clean up

& think about what

i'm creating on the

first flight of stairs

in a way i think

this stairway announces what

magic is in my office
