This is a vintage ladder I discovered in a little gift shop. It was used as a towel rack but, I thought it would work even better for ribbons.
I tried to get some extra wrungs but, wasn’t able to. Keeps me from stocking up on to much ribbon.I display/store some of really elegant ribbon on this antique table.
I store some of my pre-cut paper from Penny Black’s mix and match card stock in these acrylic “file” organizers. To the right is my white paper ,watercolor paper, kraft paper and some doilies. Below is envelopes & boxes for mailing, felt, catalogs and some books.
My sister bought me some bracelet holders so I turned them on their side and used them for ribbon. I love looking to the right of my desk and seeing all of these pretty colors.
Lots of cords in this photo but, it works. This antique table I purchased 20 years ago? and it’s perfect for my sewing machine. Since I no longer sew quilts this is the perfect set up for a quick card. I just pull up a small stool.
You never know what you will find when you go antiquing. I love this antique letter holder to hold images that are waiting to go onto a card. Here is a card I made with this blue flower.
This is what it looks like empty. Love the thick glass. Found this with some special friends in Canada!
I found this antique frog recently and thought it was perfect to to hold my go to pens that I use ALL the time. I am excited to share my favorite antique with you tomorrow. Thanks again for stopping by. Hugs, Kathy

Wauw, Kathy! Your studio is amazing! I love it! Gorgeous, this vintage look with the blue! I like it that it has a bit of a darker clored base, your studio, and then with the gorgeous bright colors of the things you use for your cards! And lovely to see the place where you created all your beauties of cards! I can imagine you have fun there!
