hi bloggers… well i’m back in the wonderful pines of prescott, az. enjoying the monsoon’s – have to say i love it! have lots of ideas spinning in my head since returning from my week at ranger and it’s great that i have over a week to spend in my studio. i’ll be finishing class samples for my upcoming store visits, working on the september technique challenge, and just getting a chance to play.
speaking of play – before i left for NJ i took a quick trip to downtown prescott with a friend of mine – it’s filled with antique shops in our downtown setting and i love to check them out once in a while. well we only spent a couple of hours total going from shop to shop when i came across this treasure: it’s an antique file cabinet complete with vintage hardware and yes, metal lined drawers – how perfect is this in my studio?
so i’m off to explore what creative ideas today will bring, get my hands full of ink and every other medium they are accustomed to being coated with, and just taking in a little studio time in – enjoy today…t!m











That cabinet looks nicely distressed with a warm patina – just your style! Looking forward to the technique challenge – have fun playing, but don’t keep us waiting too long!! 🙂
I’m sure it’ll definitely blend well in your studio! 🙂

I am sooooooooo in envy of the filing cabinet!!!! I collect antique office products but have not been able to afford a filing cabinet, just small knick-knacks.
What a cool file cabinet. I have always loved to look at antiques…time travel on the cheap. One just never know what treasures one will find. I love looking at the really old buttons that are like tiny works of art. And tools…oh, the history, the stories to be told. Congratulations on this wondrous find!
What a find… I am green with envy!!! That is a fantastic cabinet!!!
What a fabulous find!
It looks like you!
Cheers,
Karen
What fun. I’ll admit I couldn’t of resisted the jar of buttons on top of the cabinet either. Have fun creating this week can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Wonderful find. I love antiquing almost as much as creating!!

I hope to see what kind of goodies you create with your time home.

Hi Tim
What a great find. You always share the greatest things. We all know how incredible and inspiring your studio is. Have you ever consider letting us into the tidbits around your home? I can only imagine it is just as eclectic and inspiring also.
