So what happened yesterday during the rain

Busy doing stuff here and there, errands, watching YouTube channels, laundry, but not one book did I read. 

The day started out on a Thursday, but quickly was corrected to be a Wednesday. Thrift store 35% off sale still going on, I dared look at a small cabinet I talked myself out of buying last week. I was glad to see it was sold already. Better glad a small inexpensive bookcase was there in its place for me to buy.

I’ve been going back and forth between cabinet vs shelves. Cost being the biggest issue, I decided that shelving to store art supplies is best, and cheaper. 

Half the organizing is in progress. This time of year furniture is moved to the winter set up taking into consideration heat registers and the window light. 

During it all, I look at my reading chair piled with stuff waiting to be put away. The plan is to cover and label cardboard boxes to put in the bookcase. On the bottom tall shelf will go notebooks and sketchbooks. On the top will be my plastic paint storage boxes. No more art supplies scattered around. Will it all fit? The fun begins! 😂

How was your day?

      Nicole,
      It matches the bookshelf one shelf taller that I already have.
      They look cute together.

  2. I am so glad you got a great deal! It's so nice to find things like this!
    The Blogger news reader is totally dead. (not slow, like it has been for a while now, but this time totally dead) Absolutely no new blog posts have shown up in the reader for 2 days.
    I found your post today by coming here directly to visit you.
    Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead!

      Linda,
      Blogger or Google must be working on something. There’s too many glitches lately.

  3. I pulled everything out of the deep freezer so we could move it into another room in preparation for doing some repairs. It felt good to organize it all again. And I had my hair cut, which always makes me feel good. Your organizing sounds like very good plans. Have a wonderful weekend ahead.

    1. Lorrie,
      A hair cut sounds wonderful!
      I’ve bern leaning that way myself now that my hair has grown out of the last
      hairstyle.

  4. Your organising plans sound good.
    I had a very welcome visit to the hairdressers earlier and had my hair cut.
    Onwards to the weekend ... the days do seem to pass by very quickly.

    All the best Jan

  6. Obviously it wasn't meant to be that you got that other, more expensive, cabinet. This one was waiting for you!
