Small Town Welcome

Look at this little garden treasure at my high school friend's home in Belle.

Teresa and Bob live in a century old home and I just wish I would have taken

a picture of their house too!

 

Have you ever seen a Flag Drop Box?

While on vacation recently in my hometown, I came across this
drop box for Flags.  Love that.   Belle Fourche, known as the
Center of the Nation has so much to offer.  Best time to visit....
4th of July!  Black Hills Round Up and all of the other festivities. 
You really get the home town feel.

Home Office

I love my Home Office.  It's a place where I can work, create and share.  My fans meet here for our monthly Weaving Friendships gathering.  Sometimes it's a chaotic mess while I'm creating but it gets always gets tidied up when my peeps come over.

 Dear hubs gifted this table to me for our

anniversary a few years ago.

 Farm Table and Black Bench were junking finds!

 

 Large metal star found at a barn sale.

 Old wooden ironing board moved with us

from Colorado.  Awesome for displays.

 Another view of the farm table.  Lots of laughter

and good food shared here.

Definitely a multi-purpose room.

These Black Wire Shelves from Target make great storage. 
Several of the products are my own stash (keepers) as
well as display and cash and carry. 

 

 

 



Home Office Part 1

Here is my cozy desk area.  I often work from my laptop but this is the
hub of where it's all happening. 

 It all happens here.

Entryway in the office.  Black bookcase backs
up to the desk and monitor.
