I am a janitor to a few of my favorite things.
The woven basket holds a blue cut off wine bottle and it in turn holds all my colored pencils.. You never know when you might need a colored pencil! The woven basket is being guarded by a replica of Chance..a gift from granddaughter Madison.
I love boxes..they hold lots of “stuff” and make me seem more organized than I am. One holds old computer mouses and parts..the other might be a surprise box..since I cannot recall what exactly it holds… it would be a surprise! ( One Times Square Candy Bar without the candy .. I ate the chocolate and wrapped up a piece of cardboard the same size as the chocolate..a little pink computer duster and a few miscellaneous notes to self.)
The little Chickadee is a wood carving by my cousin Chuckie. I won it at one of the family picnics. I asked the little girl to please pull out my name and she did..I felt bad..but not bad enough to surrender the Chickadee.
This is just a small part of the shelf that is above my computer desk…just a few of my favorite things that I like to look at..and dust:)
It is comforting to have the things we love close at hand, and in view!
ReplyDeleteMorning......love that you love comforting things to be close at heart.......I feel the same.......sweet little Chickadee carving......my favorite little bird......Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteI have often wondered what the plural of a computer mouse might be. Now I know: mouses! :-)
ReplyDeleteI save old things and reuse them, or should I say re-function them. Sure helps keep clutter down.
ReplyDeleteI love boxes too and I fill them up quickly. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have a collection box (or a number of them) like that too! On my counter at the end of my breakfast bar but mine doesn't have a cute puppy sitting it it nor does it look as well organized as yours!
ReplyDeleteLove the chickadee!
ReplyDeleteAnd at the end you got us to go back and look at your picture to find all the things you described. Pretty sneaky post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post.
ReplyDeleteOh they are all cute ! Don't you just love having all your favorite things around, I do, makes me feel happy every time I look at them ! Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteInteresting...Hubby and I were talking about simplifying, and as we did so, I looked around me and was mentally checking off 'favorite things'. Yes, they require a bit of upkeep, but the memories associated with them are so comforting. I love your Chance replica - so cute!
ReplyDeleteI try to buy things to hide my other things but I finally gave up because I still have things piling up ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful chickadee. I wouldn't give it up, either. Have a good evening!
ReplyDeleteI can never throw away a pretty box. Using them as you do makes me feel that they're not going to waste and corralling odds and ends.
ReplyDeleteI love that " a janitor to my stuff". Me too, but my janitorial skills are slipping greatly lately.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty boxes - and a lovely replica of Chance!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing the area where a blog friend "works." That's a great "Chance" and I love the bird.
