| today's thrift is an antique library card catalog. It is a heavy wooden piece with 2 card drawers that slide as if they were new. I don't have the key but the drawer on the right is fortunately unlocked. I paid 12.99 for this find at Goodwill but it is well worth the cash just for its coolness. |

| i think it reads Globe on the front |
 |
| the point of this post was to embarrass myself into organizing my antique cabinet that lives in my breakfast nook which was a gift from my landlord years back when I lived in an apartment as a single, sexy, chick. |
 |
| i utilized this Irish oatmeal can to store pens, pencils and misc. items that my husband Rob will find a way to relocate all over the house...I can rarely find a pen! |
 |
| ok all organized! NOW KEEP SCROLLING DOWN CAUSE YOU WILL SEE THE MESSY DESK BEFORE I STARTED THIS PROJECT...oh, I also cleaned out the drawers on the desk...found things I had been searching for too. |
 |
| are these card catalogs obsolete now? I would guess they are...goes to show how long it's been since I have been in a library.... |
 |
| i found this little vintage recipe tin for $1.99 at Goodwill and I am using it to store tape and other misc. items. |
 |
| remember my cherry business card holder that I made in pottery class on Diva night? Here is the finished product...turned out really cute. We have another Pottery class Diva night coming up soon. Wanna join us? |
 |
| here is the mess before I started....don't mind the painters tape on the windows...I have yet to paint the trim on the new windows from months ago and I have no window dressings yet. Dawn xo |

Why Darling, of course I'm a little darling! I have been following you for a while!
I also love junque! It's amazing what a little scrubbing, sanding and painting can do (damn I said 3 ing works after work--broke my own rule)
Cashmere,
I really really love your new header....you look beautiful (as always)and your hair looks great, i used to own one of those spiral curling irons...did my hair for my prom in 1990...took me hours to do!!! How is your new job? I miss you and will TTYS.
