MY SHELF! This shelf is in my bedroom and I absolutely love it. With a little help from Ikea, Kohls, Real Deals, TaiPan, the dollar store, and my Grandma... the shelf is complete and perfect!
My Grandma gave me this old sewing machine a couple months before she passed away. I love this little sewing machine and I used to "ooh" and "aah" over it at her house whenever I was there. She kept it on a bookcase in her living room. One day she called me at work and asked me to stop by her house on my way home because she had something she wanted to give me. When I got to her house she had the sewing machine all wiped off and wrapped in a white lunch sack. She wanted me to have it (and also gave me strict instructions on how to care for it and that it wasn't a toy for the kids to play with). I told her I had the perfect spot for it... MY SHELF. I also told her that I would take pictures of the completed shelf and show them to her so she could see where I put the sewing machine. Sadly, I didn't ever get to show her these photos but I'm sure that she'd love the finished product (especially since it's high out of reach of little kids)! UPDATE... GRANDMA'S FUNERAL
The three amigos playing Gameboys during the viewing... Grandma wouldn't have cared at all... she would've asked them to show her what they were playing! Plus it kept them totally entertained and quiet!
These carnations were placed on her casket by the pallbearers... I love this pic.
