Her blog the STAMPING GROUND has all the info, and ways you can tour the world's crafters workspace. A BIG variety of fun things people do.
I spent time with mother this week and on my way home stopped at our local thrift store. That's where these 2 cute little cups came from. And top left another little ink storage shelf unit. I made a card this week for my sister & DH, (share next week) His sister died from Pancreatic cancer.
I've no battery life left in my camera...so don't have a photo nor one of the new carpet today either.
It's not the gray I thought it would be, but I like the color, good thing, as they cut a big piece into to small ones to fit the 2 rooms. Moral of story...don't plan on your naked eye for the right color in a warehouse...needs natural light. My husband was concerned I might not like it. BUT it worked out.
Guess in my old age I've become FLEXIBLE !
I've my van loaded to take excess Christmas to a resale shop in a few minutes, I'm cleaning out the storage room YET. We will have 70's again today and Thursday. Possible rain Friday. My flowers are still blooming and tomatoes galore in the garden..VERY UNUSUAL for this area.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy a lovely day.

I just adore your cups. I often get interesting bits from thrift (charity) shops to sketch but I have not come across anything like those - jealous. I know what you mean about carpet - we had a local man who would bring samples to the house which helped but he has just retired - well he is my age. Jackie 14 x
Love the new photo of you :-) Almost didn't recognise you. :-) Glad you're pleased with your new carpet....even though it wasn't possibly what you thought you'd ordered. We will be ordering our carpets soon so must make sure I check the colour in day light...thanks for the tip.
Have a great week.
Hugs,

Phew! Just as well you liked the color! Will you be posting a photo next week? (pretty please...)
The little cups are gorgeous. I have several little treasures lying about as I used to go to thrift shops (charity shops in the UK) all the time. You find the most interesting things.
Thanks for visiting earlier,
Have a good week,

love the set up of your desk. And as long as you have batteries in you it's fine, and becoming more flexible when getting older, I always thought it was the other way around, good on you. butterfliecrafter#12
What a lovely neat space, Sylvia - a place for everything. Well done on those little cups - they are gorgeous. Glad to hear you like your new carpet - even if a little surprised!
It sounds like your weather is really warm - ours is coming and going at the moment - the colours are still amazing, but definitely thinning on the trees; mostly the temperatures are not bad, on Sunday they were in the high teens, Monday, though, down to 9. Today? 17!!! It's all over the place. Oh well, we will just take advantage of it whenever it is possible!
Take care. God bless.

Hi Sylvia,
Lucky you in the 70s! We are expecting our first heavy snow beginning this evening.
The teacups you found at the thrift store are adorable. I haven't been to the thrift store in a while. This Saturday is an Arts and Crafts Fair that I normally sell at but didn't have my act together this year. Maybe I'll make it to the thrift store afterwards.
I'm not participating this week but wanted to stop by to see what you're doing.
Hugs,
Kay
You always seem to find the neatest items to craft with, Sylvia. Wish I had your eye. It's still warm here in Minnesota, too. I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts.
We are also having lovely weather - 15 degrees Celsius- practically unheard of for November in Ontario, Canada! (59F) Your set-up around your work table is awesome - a place for everything! Lindart #54
Hi Sylvia, pleased to hear the weather is good where you are. It's been quite warm here too though foggy. Have a great week and a happy woyww, Angela x 23
Glad the carpet worked out... could have been an expensive mistake! Have a great week. Helen 5
I agree carpet colours can be deceiving - when I chose mine the assistant kindly carried a foot stool that matched my sofa to the outide window so I could see it alongside the carpet sample - that's service isn't it!
i love the wonderful things you can finde at the thrift store. Hope you have a lovely week.

What a fun looking desk, I love finding things in shops that can be used. Take care Zo xx 32
Sorry I'm late! Unusually warm here too, makes it foggy, but am not going to complain, a short winter would be just fine by me! so glad the carpet and your flexibility have worked out...I do agree...size and colour change exponentially between shopping and home!
