Have you ever been accomplishing one task when you suddenly become sidetracked by something else that demands your attention? That was my experience last Monday when I was creating Tuesday's Tablescape. I wanted to use some teacups so I opened the drawer where I stash them and was met with a mess! I have two drawers in the hutch that contain a mishmash of tea cups, a childhood tea set, small plates and other family pieces used for decorative purposes. How did I let those drawers get in such disarray?
Perhaps if I opened them on a regular basis, I would have stayed on top of the disorder since I can't stand unorganized drawers! I don't even have a kitchen "junk drawer" for this very reason. So, the tablescape was temporarily suspended. Rather than fishing out the teacups, I decided to tackle the clutter right then and there. After removing everything, I used sheets of my Victorian rose drawer liner and began arranging the contents. A couple of the items were assigned new homes in a different spot.
With my mishmash a bit more together, I was able to complete the tablescape. Thankfully, the rest of the hutch compartments were in order and didn't need attention. Do you have drawers of mishmash? If so, I'll bet they're more together than mine were!
Make it a great day!
