Primitive garden benches

In "times past"  many benches were constructed of heavy wood (things back then were made to last a lifetime and maybe eternity?) such as these for in the garden for resting and porches for sipping cold lemonade.
The color scheme of these three estate benches are in white/yellows/blue's with underlining reds.
I have always loved benches such as these and will bet that you do to, there's always a fun use for a little bench around the home and garden.

They are offered at the General Store co-op chicks in Layton  on gentile and main corner and were in the truck load of antiques that we dropped
off this week. Although the street is underconstruction it is not that hard to get into this shop. Main street just puts you right to the back of the shop...easy peasy!

Antique Pink in the Workspace

Torturing myself in the workroom this week-end

So hard!

NOT an organizer, but love to collect, display and refinish.

Would someone come fill up all the new

drawers and cupboards

for me?

Speaking of being yourself...check out my daughters blog:

http://www.shelliewarren.blogspot.com/

She's always in some kind of creative mess!

Small antique cupboard base in antique display cabinet

holds antique books without covers

Charming & rustic

Picture is for you Annie!

Saw these on your blog and had to show you my version which

saw it on another blog in blogland.

somewhere... months ago!

We have these antique books bundled

for sale in the shop

Making new colors for the workroom.

Tried my own special recipe for a pretty Antique pale pink.

A re-make on this antique

Filing cabinet

Don't fret...there is a filing cabinet in its original

antique oak color that's so pretty

 this one just needed to be painted.

(hate to paint a pretty piece of antique wood, so we don't).

Dress form now the NEW antique pink

Wall paper may have to be removed NEXT YEAR...

thinking of this new gray/tannish color Paint

yummm!

Sitting on those old pink couches

is relaxing.

Thanks Shellie for mentioning to do that.

Who thought to relax in a workspace?

It's great for inspiration

to sit once in awhile

and dream away.

Jumping up and down... Good reason!

Look at this line up of artists for the new issue of Where Women Create!

Inspiring work spaces of Extraordinary women

Famous words of mine "How is it possible to get better when its already  beyond spectacular Jo?"

Utah's famous Jo Packham shows  pages of HER WORK SPACE...to die for!

Julie came in the shop last night and we started Jumping up and down as each page

was turned and we couldn't believe our eyes.

I'm only showing little peeks...k?

Debbie Dusenbury of Curious Sofa has outdone her talent of good taste and display with

pages of her very unique Curious shop.

You'll LOVE IT!

In fact, just jump in your car and drive to Kansas...RIGHT NOW!

I have had the honor/priviledge to be in a private business blog with 100 retailers around the U.S.

the past two years with Deb being the head of it.

Great when retailers can network...especially with our "new economy" way of doing business.

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS DEB!

(and your fabulous EMPLOYEES)

Ring Party...are you kidding...how fun is that!

Can't wait to see what they do with this book.

Really, who wants a flimsy little magazine full of advertisements when you

can have pieces of art books such as these.

You get more than your moneys worth...always!

I took pictures of my workroom last week...I would post, but honestly it

would scare the ba-jeebers out of you!!

One day maybe Jo will have a magazine " inspiring work spaces

of  the NOT so extraordinary women" ...sign me up for that one!

I have GREAT ADMIRATIONS for those in these pages who have pulled

their work spaces together

for our enjoyment.

NOT SO EASY.

SO enjoyable!

Thanks to ALL those who put these books together

Now off to read this book with my MAGNIFYING GLASS
