places and spaces

With the cold Oklahoma winter winds pushing us to hunker down and hibernate indoors I am suddenly more aware of my surroundings and the places and spaces that I inhabit. Things of comfort...and things that make me at peace. While all my spaces are a constant work in progress...i thought i might share a few spaces here and there.....

This is a set of cubbies in my bathroom...in and on it I keep some pretty little things that make me happy!!!...Things like my favorite perfumes...a vintage camera (a gift from my bestie Michelle).... a little pottery bowl from Sparkly filled with rings...etc.

The top right is a photo print of a painting of colored horses...I love seeing it everyday!! I bought it from a primitive artist in the Ozarks...I will own an original someday.

...

I believe that jewelry is art for the body...and reflects your taste...I certainly can't wear every piece all the time and hated the thought of it all being put away into some box or drawer when I'm not wearing it....that's why Mr. Quinn is pretty handy to have around :)...I picked out colors and knobs and  he made me two of these jewelry displays...LOVE them!!

I stapled some vintage lace to the back of  an old frame and made a sweet place to hang my earrings!!
 (this is a 16x24 frame)

...

....my favorite pair.... they were my Granny's and she wore them often. I can close my eyes and still see them on her delicate ears.... she gifted them to me Christmas 2010....one of the best gifts ever!!

..

here's a pull back shot of my little vanity area...

OH! did you notice the boots?? Those are a new gift from Mr. Quinn...They are so very cosy and warm and and have hardly left my toes since! (yes...I MIGHT be a little spoiled).
