The last one is the one I use, therefore in a pitiful state of disarray. <br /><br />I was thinking the other day I could solve that problem by a sweep of my arm across the top directly into the nearby wastepaper basket. After I remove all my precious beauty products of course. . .tishjett@yahoo.comhttp://afemmeduncertainage.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-8661801709781817742009-08-25T19:03:26.961+02:002009-08-25T19:03:26.961+02:00I am cracking up imagining your reason-for-living-...I am cracking up imagining your reason-for-living-in-France saying "right this minute, before disaster strikes!!!" :)Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08531311691364493582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-54596929434802384992009-08-24T18:31:04.066+02:002009-08-24T18:31:04.066+02:00Tish,

It's in my home office, which has excellent natural light (which is why I do my hair and makeup in there). It involves a beveled, full-length mirror propped against the wall, which a medicine ball that I perch my bottom on while I coif myself. Next to it an old desk holding the mess of my cosmetics and on the floor in a basket are my coiffure items. Next to the basket is a huge velvet chair nestled in the corner. I know it somehow sounds like it's not that bad, but it is. My husband was just in here and agreed with my assessment that it looks like a bomb went off in here. <br /><br />I cannot imagine your vanity could be worse.Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18263482303983558563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-56363674636437612982009-08-22T15:34:54.764+02:002009-08-22T15:34:54.764+02:00Very pretty!

I've been on the lookout for some of those silver tumblers for flowers.<br /><br />My parents kept a fancy cut crystal decanter containing some sort of brown alcohol diplayed on a table in the living room for years. I don't remember anyone ever drinking from it. I love how cut crystal catches light.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.com
