My office space...

has been cleared and de-cluttered. I finally have a spot that is mine...to focus on what I love - writing. Yay - or like Pookie spells it...yey...

I am very proud of my use of thumbtacks to keep the curtains up...when in need of curtain rods, thumbtacks will do! :)

a before picture...and one of my favorite shots

loving that I finally get to use my purple sari...:) it's too beautiful to let it go to waste!

where will all my shells go?! well...let's start with the windowsill!

lots of shells and pumice stones that need to be displayed...where can I find a cheap bookshelf/buffet table?

I also heard from the landlord that he'll be bringing in a king sized bed for the spare bedroom. um...HELL yes?!! Thank god...no need to BUY a bed for my guests, I can now focus on prettifying it instead! well...I'll wait and see when the bed is brought over...but hopefully before the Xmas holidays, as it seems people tend to come over and visit around that time! :)

Dilemma

I found these great glass jars with funky lids.

I just don't know what to do with them...

I am thinking to use one for cookies and candy - putting it on the coffee table (however, I run into problems there with Pookie scarfing down any homemade treat). I was also thinking one could be filled with cotton balls/pads and Q-tips for the bathroom - if I had a proper vanity I would do so, but as is, it means I have to buy those shelving things that "float" on the wall if I decide to go that way...

My cute grocery guy was suggesting sugar/flour/rice - but of course, he would suggest that! :)

I am also thinking of the other jar that I didn't buy!! That one is more of a mother of pearl colored lid - which means I can fill partway with sand, then sprinkle the top with my favorite shells and use as decoration! I'll be posting later...this house business takes some serious thinking (as well as $$)

...as I lay in bed contemplating the next book I would read to distract me from my money troubles, Pookie texted me from the porch to come out and "see the rainbow".

All in all, I would say spending the day in pj's and watching football, plus cuddling equaled to a perfect Sunday...
