Vogel Haus Vintage studio progress

The studio is a work in progress, but as you'll see, it still has the pink and blue butterfly wallpaper...that will be there at least until we the spring/summer.  We were able to get my mom's bankette and table up into the room and it's a perfect place to stage photos with my small light box.  On the list is a larger light box....I googled "light box" and found some tutorials that were reasonably helpful, and I'll apply that to a larger box.

My drafting table work bench is cluttered with new items waiting to be cleaned, inspected, and researched before they will be available for purchase.  I spend a lot of time on each item before listing, I want to make sure it is the best it can be!  You'll see a picutre of a light/magnifying light I received from my mother in law to help with "seeing" the jewelry, plus you'll see the view from my drafting desk....sorry it's so gloomy today!

Since I'm home on a sick day today, I thought I'd also take some photos of our favorite items around our house.  These are items we've collected or inherited over the years and they bring a smile to my face!  Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

No blog post seems to be complete without a bird photo....it's a reminder that we need to refill the birdfeeder, especially since we went from 70 degrees yesterday to less than half that today!
