Here is my mailing station, with a wonderful new functional, yet lovely addition. Can you tell what it is? I finally broke down and bought some Red & White Bakers Twine! I have been coveting this twine for some time - ever since I saw it over at Julie's place, and I finally found (what I felt, after much searching) some that did not have an outrageous shipping price. I am a little funny ... View Post
Authentic Color
At some point between the age of 18 and 20 I abandoned pink as a color. I do not know why. I think I thought it was uncool or not deep and lacking in angst. Which is true. There is no pink in angst.

I Am Grateful For… Church Rummage Sales!
It has been a long time since I bought myself a piece of furniture. Most everything I buy at garage sales and thrift stores is for Storia HOME, and not my home.
