WOYWW



So it's Wednesday. And that means it is what's on your workspace Wednesday time. Thank you Julia, for hosting it (http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/).  This week I have a new set of watercolor paints and a blank page on my workspace. What could be more inspiring than that? During my visit to Little Rock Arkansas, I visited Art Outfitters. Beth talked me into grabbing some more watercolor paints. She recommended a brand I haven't before (Daniel Smith Extra Fine), so I'm really excited to give them a shot.  



 
Something new to my craft room is this China cabinet. I inherited this China cabinet from my grandmother.  It features a lot of my teacup collection. It also features some hand-painted china painted by my great-grandmother.  Both the China cabinet and the hand-painted pieces are treasures to me :)



 
Of course no blog post would be complete without one of my pets, and here's Ruby. She's right in front of a statue that my brother got me for Christmas a couple years ago.


 
And just because you were probably curious, here's what's inside the wardrobe.   A couple of months ago, my mom visited and helped me organize everything in here. The neat little labels help me find art supplies, and make it easier to work :). 

Well thanks for dropping by.  For Valentine's Day Chase purchased a gift certificate for a massage. After I get that massage today maybe I'll come back and do some painting.  :)

Peace and love y'all!

At 4 pm today:

It was a pleasure to pop by and see your space, and I consider the peek at the china cabinet of tea cups a real bonus. What a treasure, indeed. Susanne #89

What a nice area you have. I see you have one of those Ott lites that is an organizer too. I love mine. :)
Thanks for the earlier visit and for the peek at yours. #85

Lovely to have a blank slate and some new paints to try! I am sure you will have fun. I love Ruby - what a sweet expression she has! And what a beautiful cabinet full of your treasures. I have one that was my mum's and it's the first time I've been able to display all my knick-knacks together. So precious!

Thanks for your visit and your nice comment. Beatrice is on the mend, but slowly. She's got a urinary infection and is on antibiotics but her operation wound is gradually healing, and she's a lot less sleepy now, although still very clingy!

Happy WOYWW,

OOOh Katie, your china and cabinet is just beautiful..I am quite a china junky myself, so I love the idea of your treasure!
See you think a blank page and a box of paints is exciting. For me, it's terrifying!!
