When we bought this house, this is what my future office looked like:

Now, after lots of painting, some trips to Ikea, and a lot of hard work, I have a lovely writing room!

In this picture, the wall looks a little more blue than it is. It’s really a deep, rich, royal purple. Look closely at the wall hanging. Those are pillowcases embroidered by my grandmother. I was reading a “get organized” book and the author had firm beliefs about mementos and heirlooms. “Use it, display it, or get rid of it!” I dug them out of storage and hung them up!

Books, books, wonderful books!

My meditation station…where I go when it becomes more about the publishing business, and less about the writing, to get myself back on track.

My vintage handbag collection, my dolls and high chair from when I was a kid, and my baseball hat collection. Show it off or lose it!

I have a cool collection of hand carved wooden fairies and my grandma crocheted teacups for them to live in.

Me, hard at work!
