is hosting 2nd Time Around Tuesday and

Barb at "Grits and Glamour"

is hosting Tabletop Tuesday.

Thanks Diane and Barb

This is my library table in my living room,

I have had it for many years, I've used it a

number of different rooms, from the bedroom

to the dinning room. I now have it in my

living room, using it for my personal desk for

writing cards, ect. Most of the items on it are

vintage and were either a gift, a thrift store

or antique store find. Several of the Asian items

came from a dear friend, who is now gone, but

not forgotten. She was a professor of Asian

history. I love keeping these things out

where I can see them, and remembering the

stories she told of her travels.

The clock was a gift from my Dad, he bought it

at an action several years before he passed.

After he had made the repairs, he had it

waiting for me, when I visited one weekend.

The lamp I bought at an antique store last

year, it was made from a tea container, a big

$2.00 purchase.

The letter opener is bamboo, letter opener and

binder both belonged to my friend.

I still have hand written notes belonging to her.

A few antique books and my dogie paper weight. My old $4.00 typewriter from the thrift store

A yard sale picture frame with my

Grandparents, in their younger days.

A small dictionary my Grandfather always

carried in his pocket, with a few other little

books.

A closer look at the tea canister.

Sorry for the bad picture!

A picture of my Grandmothers desk in my

dining room, holding a Asian chest. I store

my china, chopsticks, rice bowls, ect. in it.

This was a Family Dollar Store find, last

summer.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope I didn't bore

you to much.

Bye For Now,
