Obsession!

All I did (I swear) was leaf through the pages of last months Somerset Studio and holy printer's drawer,my mind became obsessed! Wow, what a great idea, for those old type drawers hanging around from the primitive days of collecting. Gathering dust and just never really being an inspiration but hey, they were cheap and "I can do something with that someday". Then it really begins, lying in bed designing my own.

It's one of those jags where....everything goes by the wayside, you're inspired and then you gotta let loose. Next I become manic, riffling through boxes, scavaging in the attic, studio, back porch, shed even "the man's" stuff in the basement, until you find what you're looking for. Although you don't know what it is you're actually after, until you find it. So, I collected pieces of my collections, sat at the kitchen table and didn't move for 48 hours! Arranging, rearranging!

Vintage, chippy, cluttered, eclectic and a bit confusing....alot like me...............

Before I knew it each box was filled with a little bit about my gypsy soul and who I am.....when all was said and done it became an extremely meaningful piece that I will treasure.

Many thanks to Lynne Paerrella and her gorgeous type drawer in Somerset Studio magazine...
