While hurricane Irene (thankfully downgraded to a tropical storm) blows around outside, clean up from hurricane Sandi began inside today.
My studio was just a mess (I am not brave enough to show you any photos). I tend to make piles and piles of "stuff" in my studio during the summer. "Stuff" I found while treasure hunting that I want to keep for myself or stuff headed for my booth that needs a little tweaking. So, since I wasn't going anywhere today I started sorting through everything, concentrating on the treasures that would stay in my studio.
Remember these girls...
I love them and found a place for them to nest...
I think these beauties might just be a new obsession of mine...
I recently "met" Vanna from the fabulous blog Delusions of Grandeur and she did a post on her wonderful collection of boudoir dolls including some of these Munzerlite treasures. When she saw I was looking for names for my girls she suggested I name one of them Vanna and she would name one of hers Sandi! She thought Vanna would go nice with Vivienne...
Can you see that I draped some pretty ribbon over her to let her know I still love her too...
Oh and I also found this pretty little doll too ~ not sure if I am keeping her...
She is missing one arm and one leg and the ones she does have are detached. She is still wonderful though!
I also kept these two books for their color and put together a little vignette...
I changed up the shelf over my desk by painting one frame white and changing out the other for a white one (they were both pink) and added the vintage inspired french tray I found at HomeGoods...
Let me move a few things so you can get a closer look...
Isn't it cute!
My studio really needs a deep cleaning and I would like to change it up a bit. I would like to move everything out and start new but the room right outside my studio is full of pieces I am working on for our fall show at the shop.
I tend to jump from one project to another!
The room is at least neat and organized and I am ready to get back in the swing of things!
As I cleaned up after hurricane Sandi I tried to make a pretty pile of other treasures from summer hunting, Etsy purchases and giveaway wins that I would like to use in my studio makeover...
Did you notice that I went from changing things up a bit in this space to a makeover?!!
Uh oh!
Thanks for visiting and enjoy your week!
