Sprucing up the Space and Let it Shine!
















I found a carousel for my brushes and pens yesterday. I was perusing one of my favorite stores - TJMaxx and had decided to put back a $7 item since I didn't have cash. I spotted it on an aisle on the top shelf. I was not looking for one there, was going to look at Hobby Lobby. There were several there in natural, white and a dark wood. It really wasn't a good price to me but liked it so much I paid $19 for it. Usually I find when I walk away from something that I like to look at other places first...I find myself going back to get it. Waiting to complete my workspace organization before taking photos.
We have been making up for the past two years drought and when we have a day or two without rain it is awesome! I have never been so tired of the rain. Apollo is not fond of going out to do his business either and of course all the grass coming into the house-more fun. Two days ago the water was up and some areas around us were flooding. We had lots of new washed out potholes but they were filled this morning as I drove VolleyGirl to school. Just look at the sunshine that greeted us!

    Once I figure the lay out then he will build me the shelves. At least I am not caring if it is crummy out. :) Looks like you have lots of water now. Isnt the sun so nice after it rains for so long? we can hardly stand to be in the house on a clear day. Altho cold. lol

  6. Hi Artist, I've seen you commenting on my blog a few times, (thank you for stopping by) and I wanted to drop in to your little corner of the world.

    Love your little paintbrush carousel! So much better than the peanut butter jar that I use. I'm like you in that I pretty much know to go ahead and get the first thing I like, because looking at all the rest is a waste of time.
