The rose fabric is vintage..about 25 years old
worked out well for curtains, table skirts, & chair cover..
Wicker chair is one of 4
belonged to my Mother it's from the 40s
my old Pfaff sewing machine..
my old Pfaff sewing machine..
My cluttered cubbies..
Old metal desk.. ugly but useful!
Most of the things in my studio are either family hande me downs
or thrift/flea market finds.
Very little moneys gone into putting my budget studio room together.
It's far from perfect but thats Ok with me..
sink & cupboard... they sure come in handy!
I made these pocket
from vintage 40s barkcloth fabric
My free vintage sewing machine..
can you believe someone did not want this little machine?
I love it!
just some of my buttons.. I have lots more
My sister gave me the plaque

Beautiful! I love your hanging organizer of many patterns, your many beautiful jewels, your rose boxess and the variety of fabric. You have created a wonderful studio!
Some day, come and take a peek at my daughter and my blog, if you would like. It is three months old and not really just about my jewelry. I love paper crafting...she loves a million other things like vintage fashion. We were not in any shape to photograph but I am loving the tours.

I adore your storage solutions. They have inspired me.
Love your creative space, it's so cute! My favs are your table skirt idea and chair cover. Stop by my blog and see how I used some of those same techniques. I guess great minds think alike!

HI Mary, I always love seeing your crafting space, and it makes me dream of mine, but mine will have lots of cubes for my organizing, but I will use old things to put ribbon, glitter, buttons,etc to look at to give me inspiration. I have been down with my back, but I am going to just post some of my vintage graphics from cds I have, so I hope you will be able to use them in your crafting. They are all 272 DPI, so they should print out pretty good. Love and hugs, Pat
I love that hanging organizer. Did you make that? Cute, cute space. Love the old sewing machine!
love it
thanks, make me idea
Was that room formerly a kitchen? A sink would be very handy. I loved the bark cloth pockets on that organizer. That was neat.
I think your space is wonderful - especially all thos vintage fabrics! Thank you for sharing.
Hey Sis,
I enjoyed your tour of your creative space!!! Luv it!

Your rose fabric is so pretty & how nice that it's vintage too. Thanks so much for the tour!
You are so lucky to have that sink and the cabinets in your studio! That is one thing I really miss. It looks like you have a nice sized studio. The barkcloth pockets are wonderful. Connie
thanks for sharing your creative are I am so enjoying th tour although it will take me forever to get to all blogs and keep finding new ones i want to go back to
Like you, I have hand me downs or inexpensive furniture. But yours has that added flair of lovely vintage looking fabric around everything. It really IS gorgeous and I'm sure is the perfect place for you to create your art. Thanks so much for allowing me the opportunity, albeit late, to tour your lovely studio.
