It's always fun to leave your surroundings and notice something new. While antique shopping in Texas I couldn't help but notice tons of items among the thousands of dealers- but one style kept catching my eye. A mirage of cubbies, drawers and files; stacked, lined up and piled. Whether wood, metal, glass or even plastic there is something about the power of numbers. One slot is good but more is better. Every item I shot here I think of as a work of art all on its own. Filling each compartment with stuff is always desired, but leaving these pieces alone make for interesting conversation too. Perfect for the crafter of course, but imagine these used for tools, wine bottles, tea cups- or as I prefer, left alone.
Enjoy.

I hope you don't lose any sleep over anonymous nut...because you are blessed with so much talent and you are also blessed with many, many friends and many fans of your blog! Jenny Danna
Thanks Jenny for that.
Yes, of course, I am thinking of nothing else but one horrible comment. To spend so much time agonizing over keeping my business fresh and then to get one negative (always anonymous) comment over the outcome. How horrible for me to always remember a negative over the 24 bravos I received. Shame on me. Thanks again.
Just feel sorry for those anonymous ones, they are the ones who loose in the end. Seriously. They must have such sad lives! It was so nice to meet you again and darn, we missed a great cubby in our own venue and I kind of wish I'd bought it!

You are right about this trend and actually had bought a cute cubby cabinet for the show but it sold right out of my truck before I had even left Canton last month. So enjoyed getting to see and visit with you and Carol. Hope you found lots of stuff, I'm sure you did with your great eye! Happy Easter, T
So many great pieces, there's just something about lots of drawers and cubbies.
WOW! I am thrilled to have one of my pieces make your blog! The cubbies were a theme...Thanks for your purchases Deb I really appreciate your support! Enjoy them and I will see you in the Fall!
OMG!!! Really, I need to get on a plane to you ASAP! I just bought a little vintage card file cabinet though would die for a big one! I just posted about my love of all things with lots of little drawers!

Looks like it is about time for another trip to the Curious Sofa! Love it all, and how I dream to go shopping at Round Top one day! What a special and fun treat!
Love the photos - thank you for sharing!! And also love all the changes to the store - just beautiful!! . . . liz
So happy that I will be visiting the store next Tuesday while in town for a business meeting!!!!
Debbie, my dear,
Your reference to a negative comment made me go back and hunt for it, just to read what someone could possibly say that would be disparaging. All I can say is that if someone is thinking Pottery Barn and Pier One, they don't have a very large frame of reference. Never think you can fill the needs of someone who sees everything as a mass retailer customer. You're so far away from those stores....you've changed the way I look at EVERYTHING!!!
True art and creativity cannot be stifled....nor can you! Do not let the naysayers rent space in your head.
deb, it was so awesome to see you and carol and heather. thanks for taking some stuff home from my booth. you're the best. and those haters are just plain jealous. keep on rockin it out as only you can.
hugs,
shelley
I have always loved old furniture with lots of drawers or cubbies. And I could fill each of them up!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM ALL!!! Can I have a set...please?
Smiles,
Susie
Such incredible treasures! Gawd I wish I was closer to "stop in"..then again you'd probably be sick of me because I'd be there all the time!

What is it about cubbys? Just everybody loves 'em. Great stuff--can't wait to get back to your shop. Jacqueline
It certainly does suggest spring cleaning and getting organized. LOL!
I've always loved cubbies, and these are some great ones. I missed round top this spring, thanks for the photos!
