Where Bloggers Create

Where Bloggers Create,
          I have had a few peaks at some wonderful
studios, I can't wait to check everyone out.  Karen is so great to host the 4th bloggers party in our studios.


My studio/craft room is small, well of course
it is I live in a tiny cottage.
But every inch is packed full of my 
treasures and supplies in case I 
get in the gluing, sewing, painting,
assembling and glittering mood. 


I added a mantel which I usually use
just to play with some of my newest
pieces of scrapes, metal, broken 
and useless odds and ends.

These sweet fabric dolls were painted
in the 80's by my dear friend Theresa.




The altar scarf is over 100's years old,
it came from a very old rural
primitive Black church.
Made by hand but most likely not ever used since there is a spelling error.
"There is Sweet Rest in Heaven"

This wonderful old blue stepback
is packed with this and that.

On top of the stepback is my antique
glider horse with bears
and cuddly ones.


This corner is packed full
of even more great supplies, I love my
antique furniture and with such little space
I use everything I can for storage.


I love old books and have 
a serious issue with wonderful pictures, 
art, text....darn it, just paper in general.
Old, new, copies or originals I just love images.
Ah!  Glitter
I do love my glitter. A small corner
cabinet is packed full of the good stuff.

Another tiny child's cupboard is filled
with brushes, charcoal, water color powder,
and ink direct from China


Antique cutlery trays holds even more treasures.
 Thanks for stopping by I have enjoyed our visit.   Enjoy a great weekend, Kathy

  14. There is a feeling about your studio that it is near the seaside. The great vignettes like the old bear riding the antique pony give your wonderful studio a patina of a creative artist's retreat.I am in love with this studio Pat Beglin

  15. What pretty vintage stuff you have to play with. I love how you have it arranged so that there is always some eye candy to look at. I love the salt and pepper shakers. I have a couple but am on the look out for a lot more now.

  26. No matter that the place is small. The most important thing is that you love your creative corner. My place is small too. I love the antique horse.

    Have a nice creative summer. Blessings and Bonjour de France !

  30. Oooh I love your old singer sewing machine, and that whole cabinet filled withglitter. Sparkley stuff is good. :-) I have several containers stored in my little "school house". Hmmm I don't think I remembered to include a picture of that in my creative space post, but I did a post about it not too long ago.
