And without further ado...

ROOM PICTURES!!!

I couldn't get a wide enough shot of everything but this will give you the basic idea.

This is the view from the door: 3 "bookcases" on the left, desk on the right, bed in front of the window (also on the right side), vanity at foot of bed, closest on same wall as door.

My Bed! I decided to give my new bedding a try after I learned my walls would be yellow this term. I managed to find some vintage pillow cases that match my comforter cover exactly!

Bedside table.

And this is my desk where I do all my studying. Not my favourite desk, but all my furniture has to be able to come apart for transport (and storage for the terms I am at home). I am not done "staging" my desk yet, but this gives you the basic idea.

Ribbon!

Vintage Alarm Clock on one of my textbooks.

My closet. Dresses on the left :D

Close-up of one of the shelves on my bookcases (from the first picture). I love these hat boxes I got from Ikea!

Mr Owl sits proudly on my bookcase. He was my "going back to Waterloo" gift from my Grandmother.

Since I don't have a dresser this term my bookcases store a variety of things (such as my jewellery and hair accessories).

Close-up of my vanity. I will be doing a post later about making your own vanity (cheaply!), so stay tuned.

That's All.

They hum because they don't know the words

Hello everyone. I am back at home for a few days before I move so I thought I would just write a quick blog post.

I had a great time at the cottage, well minus getting seriously ill half way through. Still no idea what caused my illness but I am all better now :) It did prevent the first trip to Bracebridge but we managed to get there on our way home. I bought some great items including these lovely blank greeting cards. They feature pictures by the artist Erte. I plan on framing them rather then sending them to anyone. Now if I could find some empty wall space...

Here is my Grandmother and I in Bracebridge (at last). The week started out extremely hot but by Sunday had gotten surprisingly like Autumn, hence the outfit thrown together with the only warm clothes I brought.

I took a LOT of pictures during the week, most of which I haven't gone through yet. I couldn't believe my good luck at taking this Hummingbird picture. He just sat down and started drinking off a leaf. (Bonus points to anyone who noticed the title of this post was borrowed from the last issue of Harrowsmith)

Speaking of farming, there is the ruins of an old farm on the road into my cottage. The stone foundation is crumbling into the earth and some of the farm equipment has just been left in the small field. It is one of my favourite spots.

And now I am back home, seeing my room look like this:

(It's because I'm packing...yes that's it... it doesn't always look this messy...)

And wishing I was back looking at this:

That's All.
