My New Purchase

Recently while returning from a hike, my husband and I dropped into a local antique shop.  I saw an old metal dollhouse, that had too many missing parts to make it worth purchasing, but as I was leaving I spyed a drawer from an old printers shop cabinet.  It's divided into cubicals for the letters of the alphabet, but as typical of most miniature makers, I saw another purpose, to display my collection of miniature accessories that are waiting to be placed in a miniature project. 

I quickly negotiated a price of $20.00 for the drawer, and a deal was struck.  He informed me he had a second drawer, but since we had been out hiking, I had very little cash on me, and happily departed with the one drawer. 

It was dirty and rusty, but with a little tender care, most of the rust was removed, to find a beautiful copper handle, and metal drawer front.  I mounted the drawer flat to the wall and I've started to fill it.  I have got to start emptying my stash of accessories stored away in boxes to completely fill this one.

The cubicals are a little shorter than I had anticipated, and I am thinking I will go back and get the second drawer and mount it on the wall sideways, and put my taller accessories in that one.

What do you think.........



I'm pleased with it, and it holds so much stuff!

Remember tomorrow is the last day to get your entries in for the Rug Give-A-Way.  Don't forget to leave a comment to have your name entered into the drawer.  Thank you to all the new followers who expressed an interest in my blog.  Welcome!

I've been busy working at the flowers, I really got carried away with the tulips!  I'll post more on that later.

I work best when I am multi tasking, I think it's a woman thing.  Am I allowed to say that??!!  Anyway, as I type today's posting, I have a new colour wet and setting in my hair, and I am worried that my idea of a colour change may have been too drastic, it's starting to look purple, so I'm off to wash it out right now, before the 20 mins I am suppose to wait is over....ha!!  Oh my!!

Until the next time............
