Random Vignettes

While taking on the uphill battle of organizing my garage and workspace today, I paused for a moment, and realized that I had created several random vignettes.  I've been casually searching for my next home.   Just my luck, I'll fall in love with something in the dead of winter. I simply have to get things straightened out before the cold really takes hold.  I have to figure out what's staying in the house, how I'm organizing my workspace, how I want to stack and pack in the garage, etc.   I'll spare you any wide shots, it's a little too scary.










Haven't decided what I'm doing with this table yet.







Stuff, stuff, stuff.








I forgot I had these little shakers.



This is but a tiny drop of what I'm dealing with here.  After I'm done frustrating myself and making no real progress, I'll be back  to show you what this is and what I'm doing with it.



See ya soon.

  9. Rosemary,

    You have great STUFF! I know all to well how frustrating it is to try to figure out what to do with and where to put the things you love. They are part of your soul because I think each item you pick-up or find appealing speaks to just that...your soul.

  36. I'd love to be nosing around through all that! great looking accidental vignettes! Debbie

    ReplyDelete
  37. Some of the best "stuff" I've seen! Any accidental vignettes of my stuff in storage would include cardboard boxes, plastic totes and/or paint cans. Yours is much prettier!

    ReplyDelete

  40. Your collections have so much texture. You really need to move these wonderful items out of your garage/workroom -- they would add so much warmth to your main living area.

  41. Organizing is one of my least favorite things to do, but I feel sooo much better once it is done! Might be a tad more enjoyable if I found sweet little things like those forgotten shakers along the way :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Well you might not like the wide pan, but the small vignette shots are delicious! *winks* Good luck with the organizing Rosemary! When you're done come help me *winks* Vanna

  43. I tell you gal I love your stuff and would love to see the wide shots as well!! Phew there is some treasure in your pretty vignettes, Rosemary.
