Happy Pink Saturday. Beverly and I and many of our pink friends are joining the Where Bloggers Create II Blog Party hosted by Karen at My Desert Cottage. I've been looking forward to this event since last years blog party. I would never have guessed that I would be packing to move to a new house during this years party! My house is almost packed up. I've saved my office for last so you can see it one more time before we move. Our new house has a big family room that I will be turning into my office/studio. At this point I don't have a clue how I will turn a family room with a fireplace into my own space. My hubby is under the misconception that he will be able to sit in a recliner and enjoy the fire. *wink*wink* We shall see. I'm hoping to find some inspiration during this years blog tour. As you can see I love boxes and I keep everything from thread and seam binding to paper and stamps in them. Some are vintage. Most of them came from Tuesday Morning.
Take a peek into my studio.
I not only save things in boxes; I also love old jars. I fill jars with collections that range from marbles to spools of thread. When I bring something home from an estate sale to put in my office, my hubby sometimes looks at me like I've lost my marbles. I tell him not to worry because I've got lots of marbles. They're in a jar on my book case!
Your studio space looks so bright and cheery. I love that! Also love the old boxes and jars for storing things!

Amazing that you had time to post your studio pictures when you're in the middle of moving. Maybe next year you'll have your new studio ready for us to see too? Good luck with the move and thanks for inviting us to visit.

are you watching THE TUDORS in that photo?! that's awesome...
i love all the wonderful, vintage colors in your space - and the lamb in the last photo is adorable. i have a doggie holder that kind of matches it.
oh, and the color of my walls is sahara, if you decide to go that route. our good friend, and landlord, big steve thankfully chose it - i have had about all the renter's beige i'm gonna take!

Well, Ms. Betty, this is what you would call an extremely belated visit. Please give me points for finally making it.
Happy Pink Saturday and WBC.
You know I love your space. It is always so colorful and filled with inspiration. And, wonderful creations come from there.
I can hardly wait to see what you are doing in your new home.
Your trip sounds like it was wonderful. I hope one day my husband and I will be able to travel some.

Is that a cute little humpty dumpty in that jar? Love him! What fun collections and supplies you have. Thank you for sharing.

Your space here is adorable, but I think you new house is wonderful (as is your new space with the fireplace). I'm looking forward to seeing how you are going to arrange it all. Looks like it will be comfy cozy indeed!
hugs,
