The Heart of the Studio - Day 16 Blog'fest & Day 1 MP&Y

Not playing by the rules.....
again!

Over at 'Punky & Me', Vic has a meme going on which sounded like fun
and I seem to have an obsession lately with joining in - go figure!

I'm supposed to share a shelf.
How to choose - I have sooooo many shelves, 
any flat surface is deemed a shelf round here and is piled high with crap really important treasure.

I chose to share the heart of my Studio
the place everyone is drawn to at some stage, the ice breaker because you can't help but feel at ease with a cuppa in your hand.
It's also got me through a few all night pattern making sessions.


Originally a Baby Change Table from the 70's, I was fortunate to find her about 6yrs ago in an Op Shop.
The store manager had her advertised as a Book Shelf in the hope that she would sell quickly because due to Occ. Health & Safety Laws the slates on the side & her slightly wobbly condition made it illegal to sell as a Change Table.

Books & Mags I think others will be interested in make it to this shelf,
along with the book I'm in, my friends books and the ones I get the most inspiration from.


The bottom shelf is where stuff that doesn't fit on other shelves goes
and it also houses the books I don't think anyone else would be interested in.

Interestingly I have found the more you put on a shelf the less dusting is required...

  4. You didn't cheat at all! 3 shelves are better than 1!

    I have shelf plans of my own for our change table when it's no longer needed, yours is filled with goodies, but you have given me a great idea which I can't believe I haven't thought of before now; I need tea & coffee making facilities upstairs in the loft! Brilliant!

    Thanks for joining in this week, the response to my long lost meme coming home has made me super happy.

  6. Little wonder that this corner is so popular, looks like a delightful space, and I'm sure it creates the 'water-cooler-effect' in your studio!! Oh the conversations and gossip.

    I love finding pieces with history in op-shops.
