Here is the headquarters for my creativity when I'm not at my sewing machine. I'm showing it in it's usual messy glory. I've got a wastebasket full of threads, works in progress on the table, pattern printouts from the internet, different threads and pincushions and a coaster for my mug of tea.This is where I plant myself when I get a spare moment. It's a jumble, but functional.
The real beauty of this table, though, is what's inside. It's an English sewing table, and if I clear the stuff off the top you can see the beautiful silk-lined interior. Very functional, although I think in the old days they probably didn't keep as much junk on top of it.

Oh my goodness; I am in LOVE. Is that an heirloom; oh I absolutely adore things that you can hide stuff in!
ReplyDeleteMy mothers side table was just like yours. She had her own special chair also :^). I float around too much to claim one special chair!
I can't get over this piece. I WANT this piece! lol
