MYSTERY WORK TABLE

Yesterday was the start of the Mt. Dora Renninger Antique Fair

spent a couple hours wandering around

munching on pretzels

I found this great work table

trying to figure out what it was used for?

from Maine

with enameled top

sectioned draws

wood pull-outs

and wheels

and just enough shabby to be

chic

as you can see, already cleaned up

and getting to be part of the

Twigs Faerie Land Studio

WIP MERMAIDS BALLERINAS STEAMPUNK

A sunny cold day in Florida

trying out this table size in my new uncluttered space

working on blue mermaids

soft ball jointed ballerinas and

going to try my hand at a

SteamPunk style doll

the light in the studio is wonderful

need to search for a wood farm table

and tufted stool

Lots of Antique Fairs coming

Love High Season in Florida

saw a flock of Robins in the yard

and the cows have drifted by several times

note to self

table size good

wicker chair not working!

HERDING DUST BUNNIES

At the beginning of every New year

the round up begins

the hunt for the elusive dust bunnies

often found hiding behind the heaviest furniture

in the darkest unreachable corners

bright and early Monday morning

I took out all the furniture in my Studio

and another room in the house

gone is the clutter and all the stuff and

the dust bunnies have also deserted

certain areas to avoid capture!

clean light pretty

I'm finding less is more and very soothing

only a few treasures remain

a new soft feather bed laden with quilts

my kitties are very happy to have a snoozing spot,

it is also a wonderful place to star gaze at night

all the windows exposed

views of the farm-land from all angles

I'm very pleased despite my sore muscles

and perfect start to a New Wonderful Year!

CHANEL FAIRY STYLE

Continuing with the French Fashion Theme

my favorite Designer

Coco Chanel

beautiful clothing that never goes out of style

So, when three woodland faeries came to visit

I dressed them up as elegant ladies who lunch

iconic white suit from the 50's

lots of boucle and trims

my own take on the Chanel Suit

spectator boots

pink wool suit inspired by the 70's

floppy felted hats adorned with flowers

the fashion photo shoot

these three lovely ladies

are in my shop

I'm off for a week to revamp my studio

feel like moving furniture around!
