Where Bloggers Create 2012

Hello and welcome!



^ Today I am linking up with Karen over at My Desert Cottage for Where Bloggers Create 2012. I couldn't participate last year because of a house renovation. We built an extension and part of our old living room has been transformed into a small studio for me. I couldn't be happier!



^ My computer desk where I write my blog posts.



^ I bought this set of 3 old bedroom closets in Holland. They were just the right size, had the right color and have glass in the upper part of the doors (I love that!).





^ The printer tray cabinet was in a miserable state and completely green (!) when I bought it. We brought it to the local carpenter and when it came back I hardly recognised it. It holds all my beads.





^ I have collected several yarns display cabinets over the year and this one is my favorite.



^ If there was a fire in our house, I would run back in again to save these two ladies :-).







^ An old bin and really lovely shoe trees with heels from England.





^ This antique display is perfect to take pictures of my jewelry.



^ Bought at the "brocante" in Arlon/Belgium.



^ These bins with glass cover are old cookie bins.



^ Old bank deposit safes and leather collar boxes.





^ Old French clock numbers.



^ My favorite leather covered hat stand.



^ Numbers, bought in Belgium, probably from an old bingo game. The glass jars were used at my husband's parents' farmhouse.



^ Swarovski glass, these Austrian cut glass crystals are possibly the best in the world.







^ Morrocan lamp and an old oak box.





^ I am of Dutch origin :-).









^ This is my husband's grandfather's pyjama (really!). I wear it for lampworking.



^ I have still some stuff I need to hang on the walls: souvenirs from South Africa, family pictures, embroideries my aunt made 50 years ago and a lot of paintings from my great-grandfather.



^ I bought this display case because I loved the shape. I am not sure what to do with it yet, but I'll find something.



^ My children love to come to the studio and work side-by-side ...



^ ... or do their homework.

Well, that's it...I hope you made it till the last photo!
Now I am going to hop over and see where you create.

Thank you Karen for hosting this fun event every year.
