prime real-estate.


Real-estate is a hot commodity in the single-wide.


And... since I'm embracing the fact that I'm a stacker/piler/layerer (thank you Janet!)...


I'm ALSO embracing the fact that only a small portion of my dining table gets used. Chili dogs only take up so much room.



Since the back 40 was just piled layered with whoknowswhat I'm putting it to work.


While I was cleaning the storage room I found my laptop buried under piles of... well... stacks LAYERS and thought, "oh - HEY! I've been needing that!"


I stack, I pile, I layer... I use my lap top and not all of my dining real-estate. I've got my laptop - a gooseneck lamp (the older I get the more light I seem to require!) and a big comfortable, cushy chair. It all makes perfect sense now... 'cept maybe my apparent fascination with tea cups.




comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide where I'm trying to find the perfect piece of "interesting" for that corner. I had "eat" up there in giant channel letters but they have since moved on... hmmm.....


P.S. A couple of fun facts: The tray in the middle is a birch tray that the red.neck Step-Daddy made for each family for Christmas and the wire rimmed glasses are some that Jill - the CEO and mastercreativemind of Jill Ruth & Co. made and sent to me!

  2. Hmmm...chili dogs. You know that's the Cat Man's cat nip...right?
    I'm guessing no Prime rib when I come to sit at your fancy/schmancy table...right?
    You could always put Baby in the corner!

  4. That is some sweet real-estate! I especially, like the tea cups stacked so prettily in the over-sized apothecary jar... It's almost like a Tea-cup Condo!

    see you, Pat

  11. I feel honored that the wire glasses are sitting on prime real estate!! I also think I want to start stacking! I have stacks but they are in my store rooms and untidy as in "stack this on top of that to get it out of the way" stacks. I think your tower of tea cups is really awesome!
