Reno Retreat Piece - In Progress

Here are a few in-process photos of the piece I worked on at the Reno Retreat with Jean Bernard & Sherry Goshon. Three full days of fun, art, and inspiration - not to mention good eating. It was marvelous.

Change in the China Cabinet

It was time to change the china cabinet display from Winter Birds to something more seasonal. I got it emptied before I remembered that I'd given away the pink and white dishes I was going to display. In a moment of inspiration, I moved all my cookbooks from the shallow pantry cupboard and into the china cabinet. I used some blue mixing bowls and a heavy Le Creuset pan for bookends.

The benefits were two-fold: a non-seasonal and very functional use for the china cabinet, and free space in the pantry for less-used appliances and such.
