The New Room - Chapter 6??

This is a wicker chair that was Joan's. It's the one I used to display the scarves in a previous blog.
The colorful throw was purchased @ Pier One. What's that snuggled in the throw?
Way, way back when Joan and I were teenagers, Seventeen magazine had a section on decorating ~
your bedroom, your bathroom, etc. One article stated, "Use bright bold dashes of tangerine". Joan and I loved that line ~ and would say it a lot. We would go to someone's house to see their newly decorated
den and, when we left, Joan and I would look at each other and say, "The den was nice but it does need a bright bold dash of tangerine". And then we'd laugh!
In many of Joan's houses, if you looked carefully, you'd sometimes see a bright bold dash of tangerine. When I saw this throw, guess what made me buy it!

I made a goof. I have put the same picture in here twice! So I'll say something different for each one.
This black bookcase was directly in front of me when I sat in the flowered chair at the consignment
store. Not only did I say I wanted the chair, I said to Bill, "I want this bookcase!" As you can
see, it holds more than books. Lots of "Chotskis*" live here. The white elephant is a gift from Sientje
Vanderhoeven, a fellow TOPS friend. Sientje is from the Netherlands.
*Chotskis is misspelled but is spelled phonetically. It is a Jewish word for knick knacks, dust collectors, etc.

The hour glass is filled with green sand. Bought it on a whim when I was with John and Jim @ Kohl's.
Can you make out the glass piece that spells "Mom"? It has a picture of Gerty, my mom. She is also in the tiny frame at the upper left. And something else is taking up space here. Hmmmmm.

I have one more picture. It is of the ceiling fan and MUST be a part of this presentation! Back soon!
