You’ve Got Character, Little Shelf
By Lynn, on November 7th, 2007
I saw this little shelf in a local antique store and I had to get it. I did not care for the hunter green, but, hey, I’ve got spray paint!
The shelf is a bit warped, but it just adds to its character, I think. I could see it in white with a few knick-knacks, giving me some more storage space, something I always need!
I painted it today. It may need another quick coat, but it is in place for now in my bathroom.
It houses a bunch of candles for burning. I keep one going in that bathroom at all times. I have room for a wicker basket of make-up things, there’s a little glass trinket box for hair pins, and in the corner is an extra bar of soap for the shower. I love it!

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
