one side of the sewing table


On one side of the sewing table today -- a freshly-spray-painted old wire basket filled with strips of light-colored cloth. It was an outdoor candle holder from Target -- now I wish I'd bought about five of them because there's a place in the room where they could be hung.



And the Crosley ipod dock/radio, a garden bouquet, and one tiny feverfew blossom in a water-filled geode.


I won't be showing the other side of the sewing table just yet.
