Dresser Dreams


Happy Saturday my sweet friends!
I can say that since this will be
weekend #2 that I am NOT working.
In a few hours I will drive up to my mom's
and then head to the cemetery for my
aunt's burial. 
Finally closure for my cousin's.

Before I head out I wanted to show you
my second wall of the bedroom change-up.


I moved the dresser to this wall.
Added some covelets on top.
The wood hand is a display form for ladies gloves.
Behind that is a form display for hats.



The left side.


A crock filled with feathers and white pepper berries.
The apothecary jar is filled with greens and lye soap.
A tin container finishes this display. 


Over the dresser is this cubby shelf
with hand forged handles on the cubbies.
A kite string winder on top and a pewter dish.
Hanging are a yarn winder, 
tobacco strand and a ladies fan.


The first black dollie I made 
which is my angel with wings.


The entire top with wall shelf.


I so love this dresser.


Placed now on the wall near my desk.


Now you may have noticed the gaping space
between the wall shelf and desk.
It is really noticeable to me now.
I am working on drawing another design
for a bigger hooked rug.....
now just need the time to hook it.
Someday.

We had some thunderstorms rollin the other day.
Last year we must have had a bolt
of lightning hit really close to our home,
because ever since then,
our Ace kitty hides during storms now.


This is where I found him the other day.
At least it was a cozy hideout! 

Well hope everyone enjoys their weekend.
I have to finish a pillow for Winnie,
then finish my current rug.
Did not pull one loop this week.
Then will work on more Halloween goodies.
Hopefully there will be enough time
for all of this on Sunday.

What will the weekend find you doing?

Dresser Dream Blessings To All!

  2. Oh your poor scared kitty has discovered a prime spot to fit his need even when all is calm. He knows what he likes, so be it.

    You are displaying your collectables very nicely. It's always a work in progress that keeps it enjoyable.
    Enjoy your weekend. Here in Canada, it a long weekend.
    Hugs, Julia

    Your display is lovely and I love the dresser, too, as well as all the special touches!! A hooked rug would love wonderful in your chosen spot!!
    Poor Ace sure did find the most snug and safe place to hide!!

  4. I'm sorry for your loss and I'm glad you can meet together to finally say goodbye. Your dresser is adorable and decorated so cute. I didn't even notice your kitty until you said it was his hiding place! Smart kitty...secure, private, and cozy! Enjoy your weekend from work!

  6. You really have the most interesting things to work with and you know how to arrange them. I think that is a talent to be envied.
    And I do, mine would look like who knows what. It is early Sunday morning and all is still here in lower MI. Have a good day everyone.

  9. It is a truly beautiful piece, Janice (the dresser, I mean), but I am drooling over the cubby with the forged handles, the kite winder, and that glove display form!!! Oh my!! Awww....sweet Ace...what a cozy niche he has found. Such a gloomy cold day here, I would love to cuddle up next to him. Me? I'm trying to catch up on some long overdue blog reading, watching the lake churn, and hopefully will pick up some stitching later on.... Sunday Blessings ~ Robin

  10. I can imagine how much you enjoy arranging and rearranging things. I love the dresser and the cubby. I am in the midst of redoing the beds around our house. I move plants around like one might move a crock from here to there.
