Old Writing Table (7)

...where I spend many hours a day.... This is where I perch my laptop daily and rabble-rouse.

These pictures were taken when I first purchased the table at a local craft fair. This timeworn treasure has served me well over the last year and a half and has lots of mojo--I completed my National Novel Writing Month opus here in 2007. I am in the process of editing it now...

This one was part of a series of three that I spotted at a thrift store; however, the rose one stole my heart and I came home with it.

Collage of Tea Cups and Saucers

My collection of tea cups and saucers is constantly growing. This collage represents one afternoon's harvest from a local thrift store--orphan tea cups and saucers. No matched sets were found that day, yet somehow they all work together. There's even a saucer commemorating Queen Elizabeth's 1953 coronation!

I totally embrace this aspect of shabby chic living, especially when it comes to items for my tea table.
