Real People Award, but are you ready for it?


My new cubby house under the stairs - I invited a friend over for afternoon tea today and we had 'tea' under the staircase in my new little nook. Unfortunately I'm only half way through the job and still have all the junk that was under there to deal with. I have temporarily relocated it to the front verandah to deal with in the early morning cool tomorrow.
Well I have clicked on the upload symbol 3 times to no avail, so you will have to wait until next post to see before and after shots of the 'mess' that is currently on the front verandah.

  1. What a cozy little nook! My mess has gone out in the garage for me to sort through and decide what goes to a thrift store and what does other places. While you're waiting for cooler temps to go through yours - I'm waiting for warmer temps to go through mine! LOL
    Have a lovely day, my friend.

  2. Thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog. I'm glad you enjoyed the music. Your description of my own blog made ME want to sit back and have a cup of tea. And here I am at your blog, enjoying a virtual cup of tea with you under your stairs. What a clever idea. I would sit in there for hours and just read & relax.
    Thanks again for you very kind words. They mean more than you know.

  22. I think that little cubby is just the best! I love having tea, enjoy tea parties, and all the frilly feminine things included. I am sorry for the fires. I have been reading about them and feel awful for anyone who is affected. Thank you for visiting my blog. It is always nice to visit new people and their blogs. I like yours very much and will continue to visit.
