...That is the question.
I just don't think I can part with it.
For one thing...its so wonderfully shabby. Not to mention the obvious...it's red. As in "red-is-my-favorite-color-Red".
I can just see it in the studio...holding stamps, ink pads, clips...oh numerous things. So handy. And did I mention, it's red.
I think given all that, this little booger has to stay with me for awhile. Sometimes its like that with some flea market finds.
And thank you all so much for your sweet comments and prayer on behalf of my friend "J". They are still trying to decide if she should start chemo this week or not. I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.
And, is the little "welcome" post confusing? Perhaps so. It is a new feature that Typepad was showing this last week and I thought it looked kinda fun. But maybe it is more confusing than informative. Hmmmm. I might just pull it back down. But I thought it was cool in that you don't have to go click on my profile to get the poop. Its right in front. Confusing you! LOL.
Sell or not? Confusing or not? It's a Monday. And (here anyway) a rainy day Monday. Hope yours is Happy. And dry.
Oh definitely keep it--a perfect studio organizer that's pretty too!
Next question: no, I don't think your 'welcome' post is confusing.
Happy Monday to you too--it's supposed to be sunny here tomorrow, but more rain on Wednesday--enough already!

i had to skip out to see what you meant by the welcoming post...i just see the latest post when i pop in from google reader...it's not confusing at all...i am sorry for your friend, i will say a prayer for her too...

don't make a hasty decision. I want to keep about everything I buy because for our store I almost exclusively buy things I'd like to have. I tell my business partner, Jeff (LOL) that I just need to live with certain things for a while and then I'll be ready to let them go! Keep it!

Love your red flea market find and can certainly picture it in a craft room. Really shabby chic cute!

Hey Cindy! Yes, the "welcome" is confusing... but now I know the scoop... and better understand what it's doing there.
I like it... just not there. I think it would be less confusing if it was to the left or right side of your blog... and if it did not have a place for comments. Maybe Typepad can fix that. :)
Other than that... I like it. LOL
Love the red little caddy too. Definitely a keeper. xoxo, Joanna

Would be darling filled with stamps!!! I always keep the things I love until they become useless in my world....meaning...they don't match the setting or I find a better way to store things:) Just a thought!
Posted by: Linda Harre | April 29, 2009 at 01:53 PM
Keep and yes, confusing. Although, consider the source on that last one! I wondered why it seemed like you weren't posting very often! :)
Posted by: patti mullican | April 29, 2009 at 03:06 PM
I agree, it should be on the side or in a different format...I might miss a post with it where it is.
Posted by: [email protected] | April 29, 2009 at 08:24 PM
looks like a keeper to me!
Posted by: Barbara | April 30, 2009 at 09:23 AM
It's a great little piece.
I would keep it.

I think you better keep it, Cindy, because you will be sad to see it go. And, it is fantastic and functional, so how could you possibly part with it?! :o)
Hugs,
Lisa

Red... good informaiton for me to know! ;) Although that really should have been obvious to me.
Oh, and keep the box.
