A GATHERING PLACE IN THE MAKING ~Where Bloggers Create II~... Pink Saturday, Too~

 ~WELCOME~

Hello Bloggers both near and far!  Can you even believe it's been about a year since we last gathered together for this fun event?  Who knew such a 'little party' would turn into something so fabulous?

It's with great excitement I welcome you again this year to the
  Thank you, Karen, from My Desert Cottage, for hosting this fabulous event for all of us peeps in Blogland!  Karen is one amazingly talented lady and has blessed so many of us with her creativity and vision!  I hope you'll follow the LINK to her place and visit as many of the participants as you can!  It's sure to be an amazing experience full of endless inspiration, excitement and fun!  Also, since I’m combining my WBC Party Post with my weekly PINK SATURDAY Post I must give a shout-out to Miss Beverly, from How Sweet The Sound, for hosting our PS get-together!  I'd just LOVE IT if you could make time to visit a few of these Bloggers as well! Thanks again to both of these awesome ladies!  You rock!
~COME IN~

First...for those of you visiting for the first time let me first tell you my name is Rebecca Suzanne and I own a cottage style business called A Gathering Place.  After owning a local brick and mortar store in the mid 90's  I moved to eBay where I enjoyed a successful run as an online seller. That partnership has lasted now for over eight years and I've enjoyed it more than I can say.  Last September I re-entered the retail market and opened a sweet little booth space in an Oklahoma City Antique Mall called French Quarter Antiques.  In April of 2010 I relaunched my own website and I hope you'll visit when you can.  It is there you will find the things I love to create the most...

Are you ready?  Here goes!  I have lots of pictures for you!
(You can just LEFT-CLICK and the photos will enlarge!)
  ~REORGANIZED and LOVING IT~

My studio is dressed just a bit different this year!  I now have the pleasure of working out of two separate spaces in my home.  I have one room designated for sewing and one for painting!  First I'll be showing you photos of where I create soft goods...sweet things like cottage and image style pillows, romantic sachets, etc.  And it's in this very room that I continue to re-purpose vintage train cases!
~CENTER STAGE~

My fabulous JANOME Sewing Machine rarely has a day of rest.  She sits on top of what was once a crummy computer desk that was dark and foreboding! :(  It was an ugly old thing, a mission style newby, that truthfully I couldn't stand.  After trying to sell it give it away for six months I finally decided to keep the big ol' thing!  Now I'm soooo glad I did.  Refashioning it into a sewing table was my guy's idea!  Brilliant!  Now I can't believe I ever wanted to part with it!  Underneath the gathered skirt are shelves on each end.  It is there I store things I need but don't use every day!
~Antique 1920's CHEST~
Every Single Drawers Holds Vintage Laces

Even with two rooms I have limited space.  To be able to work smart I need to be able to get my hands on what I need in a moment's notice.  Keeping lace in big plastic bags just didn't work for me.  So, I moved two vintage chests of drawers into my workroom.  They are both filled to the brim with vintage laces of all kinds...Venise, Crochet, Cluny, Filet, Machine, Bobbin, etc.  You name it, I bet I have it!

~OLD SPIEGEL CUBBY~

I showed this amazing cubby last year.  It still holds my favorite old laces.  
 ~KILLER CHILD'S WARDROBE~

Last January I moved this fabulous wardrobe into the position you see it in now.  It's full of more ribbons and laces and higher-end finds I only use on VERY special pillows, etc.  No more TV inside it for me!  The stress and drama of the daily News wears me out...I opt for great music instead!  See the little chest in the corner?  It's full of vintage laces as well!  Yummo!
~WHERE FANCY WORK IS DONE~

As much as I LOVED the sweet little table in my studio last year I had to replace it with one that was bigger.  This one is large enough to hold my Serger.  In the left closet I have two other machines.  One is dedicated to gathering fabric (Johnson Ruffler) and the other one is a mid-line machine for making things like buttonholes, etc.
~FINISHED PILLOWS and FABRIC IMAGES~
~CUSTOM LABELS GO ON ALL SOFT GOODS~
~SPARKLY STUFF - CHARMS - LOCKETS~
~NEW PICKET DOORS ~

My Mr. AGPMan added these sweet Picket Doors to my Ribbon Cabinet!  I LOVE how they came out!  Helps to keep things tidy!

I love LOVE being ORGANIZED!
~BAUBLES - LACES - BEADS~

Now...I am just about done showing you room number one!  Below is a picture of the fabric I've collected over the years.  I still use MOST of it!  But, it's hard to part with material you dearly love!
~LOVELY FABRICS and MILLINERY FINDS~

Now...if you're still with me I'm going to take you into the workroom where I do the hand painting on all those fabulous new and old Finds.  It is also in this room where I do the detail work on the sweet new line of Altered Art Cards and Tags I sell on my website.
 ~WELCOME...AGAIN~ :)

  Now...I do NOT base paint my Finds in this room!!  All that is done in my Mr. AGPMan's workshop out back!  
~VINTAGE SLANTED DESK~

I really do paint in here!  I love the natural light that comes streaming in the window during the morning hours!  Again...I have to work smart because my space isn't that large.  Inside both the closets I store paper, my printer, paints, towels, brushes, etc.  Inside the chest are small finds that are base painted but are awaiting their artwork!  The small closet next to the desk use to be a desk-cubby.  I really disliked the look of it so my guy transformed it for me! :)
~STURDY OLD CHAIR~

A few weeks ago I showed you a picture of this neat old chair!  It's one I hauled home from Tennessee!  Did it come out sweet?  

Below are some things that remind me of how far I've come, including the very first sign I painted in 2002.  It's sort of a sad little thing but I just can't seem to part with it.  It says "Always Kiss Me Goodnight" and it is a good example of the journey my painting has taken me on...  I had the lettering down pretty well but those DARN ROSES!  Argh!

That said...I can't create in a space that doesn't inspire me!  I did that once for an entire year.  I rented an off-site studio with a huge working area and attached garage.  It was the worst year of my life.  It was dark...had no windows...was drafty and I had loud neighbors...  
~2002 GATHER YE SIGN~
~I LOVE "Roses" SIGNS
~ALMOST DONE...A Work In Progress!~
~MY GIRL TALKED ME OUT OF THIS ONE~
~CARD DETAILING~

I purchased this darling vintage desk when my daughter was only ten years old.  The top sides are slanted and open up making it the perfect place for holding all sorts of supplies.  Every Altered Art Card and Tag I sell travels right across this desk.   Yes...I really do work here!  And if that darling little bench gets tooooo hard for me I just grab a pillow (Hey Sweet Tea...wanna send me that cushion back???).  :)
~TWO OF MY FAVORITES~

~A PLACE TO READ and REST~

I found this neat old Tell City Bench at a thrift store a few years ago.  When (not if!) I get tired during the day I never crawl into my bed...No Sir-Ree!  I snuggle up on this soft and comfy couch thingy  for a short little nap and then I'm SEW Good!  I love to read and that little rocking chair is my favorite place to sit while devouring my favorite mags! :)  That little cabinet on the far right holds finished product that is listed for sale on my website...the closet next to it holds the same thing.  Christmas is coming, you know?
 
~AWAITING THEIR MAKEOVER~

OK Peeps! That's just about it for this year! Thank you sooo much for visiting. I hope you enjoyed yourself and will visit me again very soon! Just as I shared with you last year, whether your space is as big as a ballroom or just a tiny nook in your kitchen, I encourage you to find the passion that lives deep within you and carve out a place to call your very own. I promise you, it will change your life.

Just a LITTLE NOTE of THANKS to those who've helped me realize my dream of creating full time...

Thank you to my Mr. AGPMan, my Baber!  Thank you for everything and for continuing to be my unpaid partner and constant encourager.  Thank you for the years of junkin' and slummin' and for not totally FREAKING OUT when I ask you to do things like crawl into a dumpster to retrieve an amazing chair and for not complaining too much when you missed working in YOUR shoppe for the fourth Saturday in a row!! You will always be my hero!

Thank you to my Mom!  You are the most talented person I've ever known.  Thank you for buying me that "Rings and Things" kit when I was 10. That junky toy helped to change the course of my life.  Thank you, Daddy.  I miss your words of praise... but mostly I just miss you.

Thank you to Adrienne and Brandon, my children.  Re-purposing your old bedrooms into two working Studios brings me great joy.  Each room holds the tender spirit of your childhood within it's walls...and that helps me to never feel too far away from you.

Thank you to Lin, Jen & Bill.  Having a sister who constantly had JUNQUE everywhere must have made you nuts while we were growing up.  I owe you all more than I can say.

Thank you to my Bloggie Friends and both my old and new Customers.  You know who you are and at night I thank God for each and every one of you.

Thank you, God!  Thank you for seeing me through the times when I was too frustrated to paint and for grace and patience when I fell short of my goal.  Thank you for the joy You have placed in my heart when I've succeeded and for Your comfort and peace when I made a big mess of things.  Please help me to remember all good things come from You.  I hope one day to be all You planned for me to be.

Love to you all~

I think I'll be first, sugar! You actually DO have as much if not more fabric than I do, chickee. It's all so lovely I can't even say the proper words for it. I'm drawn away into a dream world just viewing the lovely settings. You did a great job, sweetpea, just great....

Ooooh, come see where I spend most of my time also. *Sigh*....I gotta get a life here very SOON!

Next time I'm in the city I'll have to stop by French Quarter Antiques.

Oooh Rebecca... I am overwhelmed! Your creative places are just beautiful, as I knew they would be! I will definitely need to go back two or even three times so I don't miss a thing here...

I would love to just sit on your pretty couch and sip tea and chat with you!

Your spaces reflect your art. Both are very beautiful! I think I could be quite comfortable in a studio such as yours, but I would spend all my time sipping tea and admiring the rooms. If it were a shop I would definitely plan a trip around a visit! Connie

So many beautiful over the top and gorgeous things to see where you create. I don't think I would ever get anything done as it's all so pretty. My eyes would wonder and that would be the end of me.

I too am showing my space this week, please come visit and Happy Pink Saturday, Char

The beauty of those two rooms took my breath away. God has given you the heart and mind to create so many beautiful things. Those rooms are amazing. I felt such peace as I saw each space. I can't wait to see what gorgeous new things you add to your "shop."

Of course I enlarge every photo and as usual when you show your home, this blissful feeling fills me. Even your work rooms...precious!

Rebecca, I have been in awe of all you do for years and you know this I think. My love for your art and creative sewing has grown and even before I met you as a fellow blogger, I had begun to realize that the beauty you create comes from your very soul.
You are dear to me, Rebecca. You give me and all of us, joy!
May God's light always shine upon your face...

I am so thankful you do Rebecca because you are making this world a more wonderful, beautiful place to live with the gifts that God has blessed you with. Thank you for letting us peak into your special spaces. Everything is beyond words amazing and beautiful, just like we see in all of our favorite magazines.

Many blessing to you precious friend,
Love Tammy

Your rooms are absolutly breathtaking. I wished my little room was bigger..it is a mess..you have inspired me to get it in order..but I wished you would have showed more of a pic of your painting station. You know I paint roses also and I am always looking for ideas for storing paint and just how everyone lays out their paints. Silly arent I? Thankyou for sharing your rooms...sally

I've never seen so much fabric in my life, not even in the fabric stores I have visited. And if all those cabinets are filled with lace, you are truly blessed.

You have a lovely home and two incredible (and I mean INCREDIBLE) work spaces. I see why you are so inspired. Thanks for sharing this really beautiful and inspiring space.

What an extraordinary & exciting tour. To see where your brush strokes , stitchery and ideas are born left me breathless.

Excitedly I spotted things that are getting ready to be painted. There is (1) item (no can't tell you which one) cuz then I will see a "SOLD" sign on it :)

You really climbed that mountain and are in a "Good, Pretty Pink Space" now. I feel happy vibes from you-It's been a hard working journey, but your dreams have materialized-Thanks for sharing

Thankyou for replying...see you have given me an idea already...we just moved to a new home with carpet..so that is what I have now..so a drop cloth would be great to put down..dont know why I didnt think of that..I envy your energy..of course I am babysitting my Hattie Jane...so nothing gets done then...but play with her..I dont know if I commented on your granddaughter...but she is beautiful..Hope she isnt still feeling bad about herself..I go to my class reunions and drive out to my home farm town and I always stress over class reunions...but my most loving happiest times were with my own family life.School is sometimes not fun and it should be.

Hi dear friend! I almost cryed your space is so beautiful. I have never seen anything like that before. It is so you. I was so moved and your music was perfect. You truly are living your dream. I pray God will grant me that one day. Thank you so much for that beautiful moment. As always, blessings to you. Martha

Cottage Sunshine said...

Rebecca,

Your creative rooms are so beautiful ...rooms that I could stay in all day long, 7 days a week! No wonder you can create such beautiful things in a dream like that! I love the way you are so organized too!! It amazes me for myself how much more I enjoy my work if I stay organized!

I need to create rooms like these! Thank you so much for your inspiration...as always! :)

Hugs,
Carolyn

The Quintessential Magpie said...

Rebecca, these rooms are just breathtakingly pretty! They are YOU! I love them so much. I don't even know where to start because it's just something beautiful at every turn. And that music says it all. Do you know how much I love that song? Our Bible Study leader used to sing it to start every meeting. Sigh. I can see how you create such lovely things when you have these beautiful rooms out of which to create.

Please drop by when you get a chance and see my little goddaughter in her ballet recital and a little friend of hers. I think they will melt your heart. They do mine. Loved this SO much!

Happy Pink Saturday!

XO,

Sheila :-)

greetings rebecca
thank you for sharing such amazing photos of your spaces and little nooks where you house your lace and notions. I love that your TV got the boot--i agree to exhausting. Anyway, your studio itself is truly a work of art and total eye candy for those of us who have work spaces too. thank you for sharing and I will be back for more visits, but I am bringing a cup of tea to this lovely place next time.

Jan M said...

Your rooms are lovely beyond words. Thank you so very much for sharing such beauty through your creations and words.

Tara said...

You have created such beautiful spaces for yourself to create in Rebecca. They truly reflect the beautiful soul you have and the gift you posses for bringing out the glory in the average ordinary thing. You make magic Rebecca!

Sue@MyArtsDesire said...

Rebecca,
What a special treat to see your two rooms that look like four of the world's top romantic decorators to ever live came in and worked their magic! "Killer child's armoire" is the understatement of the year. Drool. But I loved your words about the way your new rooms hold the tender spirit of your children's childhood days. Teary-eyed as that was precious...What a joy to visit your blog today! Xo, Sue

Creative Grammie said...

I'm speechless! What heavenly places for you to work in. Painting?? In that gorgeous room? I love the way you've organized your fabric and the unique way repurposed some of the furniture.
What a visit I've had, thank you!

Claudia said...

Your spaces are lovely - and TWO of them - lucky you! They are beautifully decorated and must give you great pleasure when you are creating.

Cherie Wilson said...

Simply delicious Rebecca! Thankyou for sharing. I'm sure I will be back! XO

Angela Weimer said...

Terri said...

I loved it last year and I still love your creations and your creative space.

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

Both your creative spaces are so beautiful, Rebecca! I would love to spend my days in them. I knew I'd be lost as soon as I saw your sewing table skirt in the first picture! Everything is just wonderful and I love how you have laid it out and stored everything. It must be a real pleasure to create in these spaces. Thanks so much for sharing them!

Pat @ My Tattered Elegance said...

Your spaces look just about like I thought they would after reading your blog for a while. Everything about you says beautiful romantic shabby chic wonderment. It looks more like a beautiful ladies retreat and I wish I could retreat there. Simply gorgeous to go with all your gorgeous creations.
Thank you for sharing all of it with us.
Hugs, Pat

Mr. AGP said...

My Darling Rebecca, what a great post. The pictures came out great and you space is as beautiful as you are. (and that is saying something) He HE You have always told me that the more beautiful you space is the better you can create and after this last studio makeover you should be able to create plenty! Your talent never ceases to amaze me and since I can barely draw a stick figure I am always awe struck when you come up with yet another new design or idea. You just never seem to run out of ideas, or gas for that matter. I only hope I can always keep up with you! :-)

Love,
me

Maggie said...

This is a such a great space! Wow! It's beautiful!

Unknown said...

Okay so I'm jealous! TWO rooms to create in! And decorated soooo cute. I love how you organized your trims and ribbons! Love it all, in fact.

Alexa Lett said...

Beautiful...orderly...clean space! Lovely!

Romeo said...

WOW! I am so loving your space! All those fabrics and dresserSSSSSS full of lace - oh how "she" envies you but is so very glad that all the other lace in the world is safe and sound in your care. Surely, you must own THE best selection of laces and fabrics. It truly would be hard to create with them knowing they would be going to someone else....of course that is part of the joy, yes? Knowing that someone is going to love your beautiful finished piece as much or more than you did when you created it!!!!

Your studio as a whole is wonderful - both rooms of it! Thank you so much for sharing your studio with us!

Purrs!

Romeo and "her"

Simply Debbie said...

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY REBECCA AND TO PLACES WE CREATE,
HAVING HAD THE DELIGHTFUL PLEASURE TO MEET YOU IN PERSON 3X'S AND THEY SHOWED ME 7 ROOMS, I BELIEVE HANDS DOWN I COULD PICK YOUR SPACE AND IT DOES DESERVE TO BE IN A MAGAZINE. IT IS SOFT, ROMANTIC, WARM, WELCOMING, LOVED, AND JUST DOWN RIGHT EXQUISITE.
I LOVE ALL YOUR MATERIAL. SO MANY SHADES OF PINK AND THE ROWS SO NEATLY STACKED...IT IS ART IN OF ITSELF BECAUSE I WOULD NEVER TIRE OF LOOKING AT IT.
I HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED THAT GOD BROUGHT YOU INTO MY LIFE.
I THINK WE ARE DUE FOR A LITTLE TEA AND LUNCH IN A FEW WEEKS...I WILL HAVE TO WEAR A WIG FOR SURE AS MY HAIR IS GONE IN MANY PLACES...THEY SAY IT COULD TAKE 6 MONTHS OR MORE BEFORE IT BEGINS TO IMPROVE
HAPPY FATHERS DAY WEEKEND. I KNOW IT IS SUCH A BITTERSWEET DAY FOR YOU.
LOVE AND HUGS
SIMPLY DEBBIE

Enjoy the party blog hopping and stop by some time. XOXO

Hey Rebecca! Thank you so much for stopping by and reading about my Daddy. It only takes me about 5 corrections after posting it, to get it right. I just finished.

And WOW!!! That is the ultimate creative space. I could live there and never come out. It's just so so beautiful. Thanks for letting me see it all. Now I have to go pray and repent for all my envy and coveting.

Kateyed said...

That is one of the most beautiful rooms I have ever seen. I think heaven must look like that...only a little bit better. It is also such a treat to have your beautiful music playing in the background. I wonder if this is the music you listen to instead of watching TV!!


Some day, come and take a peek at my daughter and my blog, if you would like. It is three months old and not really just about our jewelry. I love paper crafting...she loves a million other things like vintage fashion. We were not in any shape to photograph but I am loving the tours.

Rebecca,
Well, I am speechless. I am green with envy (or maybe I should say Pink with envy).
It is all just too beyond words!

Sweet, and beautiful, just like you, and your work.

When I grow up. I want to be organized like you, but if it has not happened in 61 years, so not sure when or if it will.

Loved and enjoyed my stroll through your lovely palace.

Blessings in all you do.

Oh my goodness Rebecca..swoon, can I do that? those rooms are just beautiful and how could you not be inspired working in there?

My home is still very unorganized but by this time next year a different story that will be! I have a plan, just need to clean out that darn office and turn it into a cheerful studio. Need to sell some things to buy some new things to make that vision come true.
Many blessings to you sweets..
