This was not a good week as reflected in my lack of posts. Tuesday I was scheduled to get my last remaining wisdom tooth out. I had a morning appointment with my dentist and much to my horror my dentist was only able to remove HALF of my tooth (curse those darn curvy roots). Luckily he was able to schedule an afternoon appointment with an oral surgeon who removed the remainder of my tooth. I had a three hour window between appointments and thankfully my mouth was quite numb. I basically spent Tuesday in a dental chair on one drug or another. Not my best Tuesday. The tooth fairy was very generous to me and my dentist did send me a $10 gift card to Barnes and Nobles as an apology - at least I got a couple of perks.
I spent part of the week rearranging my studio now that the huge stack of Martha magazines have left. What a space sucker they were! I moved an old metal cabinet that I had in the garage into the studio and now I have more storage space. I got the cabinet (it is the white one of the left) last year at a sale for $11.00. (second day, half price) I didn't have a spot for it, but I liked it, the price was good and it had the original label inside. It had now found a new home!
Lots of shelves inside quickly filling up with jars full of fun.
I like the fact that it is metal. I am going to use it as kind of an inspiration board. Right now I just have stuck up a bunch of things that make me smile. I know it will get full really quick once I get started!
I had a bunch of tiny tin children's plates from vintage tea party sets. They had seen better days, but the graphics are great. I hot glued magnets on the back and they turned out really cute. An easy way to display them now!
Hoping for a good weekend...
ready to eat some solid foods!
Well, I can't think of many more things more fun than oral surgery! Take it easy! xo, suzy

Oh Laurie, I'm sorry you had such a crummy week! Your cabinet looks great though. I'm glad you found a spot for it! Goodness knows we all could use more storage. What a dream!

Glad your tooth fiasco is over and you can have a nice weekend minus that last wisdom tooth! The children's plate magnet idea is pure genius!! Love it! Rarely do you have a whole set, only mismatched pieces so it is a perfect use for them. Have a great weekend little miss magpie!

Two words: chocolate pudding. You deserve it. The metal cabinet/magnet idea is genius!

Sorry about your time with the dentist! I'd rather have a baby than go to the dentist. Love your cabinet:0) You sure know how to organize!

Love how the little illustrated girl in the dentist's chair looks exactly like you. Only you would have the perfect visual to accompany a post about a trip to the dentist...such a fabulous magpie!
