My search is over for a new pair of glasses! I wear contacts on a daily basis, but like to have glasses as a back up. My current pair are at least 10 years old, so it is past time to replace. I have been wanting to find a true old pair of glasses to be replace my old one.
My ‘new’ glasses
I found these at The Vintage Optical Shop. I just need to get the lenses put in and voila! This is a great way to find a one of a kind look and is around the same price or cheaper as buying new ones.
Snow Day equals Project Day.
It took a day off from work to get my printer drawer project done. I have had this drawer since Christmas. Present from the Dad, he did well this year.
I knew I wanted to put something behind the slats, but could never really think of what to put there. It finally hit me today, random printed material I have lying around. I have had these two pieces of sheet music for years and never could find a way to use them… until today. That goes for the rest of the items I used. Stuff I have had for awhile but did not have a use yet. I always knew there would be some use for these items when I bought them.
To start, I cleaned the dust off the slats of my drawer. This was the hardest thing to do. So many little corners and areas.
Printer’s Drawer
To remove the back panel, there were only a few nails to take out. A previous owner had done the hard work and removed most of the nails. Then I rounded up the different items that were to be used.
Song sheet placement
Arranging the song sheets, postcards, pictures, fabric, old ads, sewing pattern was a test in trial and error. At times I would lay on the floor and look at the arrangement to see things were looking like I wanted. Took a few times switching things around.
Everything laid out
Once everything was in place, I reattached the back to hold it all in place. I did not use any tape or glue to keep things in place. The pressure from the back against the slats was enough to keep things from shifting.

I am extremely happy with how this turned out. Now it will be fun to keep adding little finds to the ‘shelves’ the drawer slats make. I happened to have some old wood letterpress type to add.
Hope this inspires to complete a project on the to do list.
