Not to be such a Nancy

I wanted to post something that makes me happy.


There is this space in our living room that I have been trying to fill since we moved here two years ago. First I filled it with a bookshelf, but the bookshelf didn't fit and was re purposed in another room. Then I put a table thingy but it was something my mom got at a garage sale and I never really like it that much and have since sold it at another garage sale.

I have finally pulled this together. I love the space because it looks cool and because everything in it has a lot of meaning.

The table is something that was originally made by a relative, it was either my grandpa rollins or Kelm or even maybe a great grandpa. I forget, my mom could tell me. My parents had it in their house for a while, and then my sister did. When my sister was moving to CO she didn't want it anymore so I took it. I love that it was made by a family member, and has been used by serveral of my immediate family.

The sewing machine was my grandma Rollin's and I think when my mom gave it to my she was hoping I would use it. Alas I tried once but it has one of the footpeddle things and it kinda went crazy even when I didn't have my foot on the peddle so I decided it would make a better decoration. The photo above the desk was given to us by my dear friends Andie and Andrew as a wedding present. I love it for that reason AND because they bought it from someone who is trying to raise money for an adoption.

I'm not sure if the glass on the desk will stay or not, it's their for now, but it too has a story. I am a theif. I stole that glass from TGI Fridays after I had consumed the contents of the glass. It was just so cool and in my tipsy state I couldn't resist. It goes well with our red rug!

Here is a little better picture of the space so it doesn't look quite so isolated.



Oh I almost forgot, the red cloth that the sewing machine is sitting on was given to me by my friend Mary. It was something she got when she traveled to Spain while we were roommates! It's actually got a really cool pattern on it that you can't see from the pics.
