White Wednesday!

I am joining Kathleen at Faded Charm today for another White Wednesday.

Can you believe that this is number 89 for her????

Not for me however, because

it's been awhile since I have played along.

This week I went looking for whites in my home and studio that I hadn't already shown

here on my blog, and this is what I came up with.



My friend Suzan sent this pretty little gift a long time ago when we first met through blogging.

It came in a package crammed with beautiful things that she had made and that I have

shown here before.

I love the simplicity of it.

I have an inner battle going on constantly within myself over how I choose to decorate my spaces.

One of my personalities would love a home packed full of nic nacs...

and so many pictures and beautiful things hanging on the walls

 that there would be no wall showing at all!

And then there is a part of me that needs a serene surrounding...

a calmness...

space to breath...

Having a studio apart from the house has satisfied a little of the struggle.

In the studio I cram as much visual stimulation into it as I can.

Having so much out and around me helps with the creative process.

It keeps my mind full of ideas and dreams of the next project.

 I know I don't share a lot of the things I make here on my blog...and I am trying

to get braver about showing them off. In the future I hope to do a post or two

about the things I make for my home.

I'm not at all shy about sharing the great finds I unearth though,

like this beautiful old light fixture part I discovered on one of my hunts.

I have been making more of the collage tags that I showed earlier using the garment tags I save.

My husband thinks I am buying new clothes just to make the tags. 

In truth,

I make the tags to lessen the guilt over buying so many new things for the closet!

(I say for the closet because my kids don't think I could possibly ever wear everything

that's in there) I don't get rid of anything))

Just a few of the thousand I'm working on.

I told you the closet was full!!!!!!
