It's been a very busy week here at work, as we prepare for the return of the students to campus. We're already started having orientation for new students, and are generally just gearing up and preparing for the onslaught of 200 new students who need to be registered, oriented and assisted with pretty much anything you can think of.
I've worked on my scrapbook some this week, continuing the basic page layouts that the Momcat and I started at Scrapmania last weekend. It really helps me to just get the pictures down on the page first, knowing that I can come back later to do some journalling and embellishing. I've also been working a bit on my knitted dish towel, starting to prepare to move and have finally finished HP 7! I'll try to get some pictures of my projects up this weekend.
In the meantime, I've been wanting to share picture of one my latest finds. This was found at the University Surplus store, which is open to University employees and students each Thursday. The selection varies widely each week, and it's very much a first come, first serve atmosphere. I'd wanted one of these since I saw them at someone's house during book club, and they had seven of them! For only $25!!!
Why would a library ever want to get rid of their beautiful Card Catalogs!
It's one of the larger ones, with 72 drawers.
Each drawer still has the metal system inside for inserting the library cards.
I'm hoping to be able to use it for storage of some of my crafting supplies, such as yarn, knitting needles and fat quarters. The N-boy, however, has expressed doubts about getting this up the stairs in our new house and into my studio room! We'll see...
Hope everyone is having a great week!

What a find for $25.00 Once you get the metal runners out you will have yourself a beautiful storage cabinet. The sky is the limit on what you will store in there and you will have in your new home.
ReplyDeleteI bet you are counting the days until you can take possession, with dreams of your life there, dancing through your head and heart.
Will you be able to have a garden or raised gardening bed in the back yard?

That is awesome! I sure would have snagged one up!
