fixing the bottom of an upholstered chair
This chair has had issues for a while, but I’ve been ignoring them. It’s typically been in out-of-the-way places, so it wasn’t something I had to look at or be bothered by regularly. Well, since I moved it into the studio, this saggy bottom has been annoying me. But still not quite enough to actually […]
the toledo drafting stool & equipto cart
There are two things that have been on my shopping list for a while – an antique adjustable drafting stool and a rolling cart, both for my studio. I’ve been trolling craigslist and looking at local antique and consignment shops and haven’t found anything that was just right. Well, I hit the jackpot at Junk […]

junk bonanza 2019
I meant to write a post last night, but I just couldn’t. It was taking forever to upload my pictures and I was tired and I knew I had three long days in front of me. I just needed to get to sleep, so I did just that. I have survived day one, though, and I […]
March Favorites
Wow! I wasn’t expecting such a response to selling the postal sorter. I can assure you, though, that I’ve bought and sold a lot of beautiful things over the years…things that were rare, unusual, and things that I loved. But I’ve learned that I can love something for a while, as long as I have […]
