Your use of words and mixture of several genres in writing is appealing. And the collection of photos you add to your writing give more importance to the literature. Keep growing and comping up with more such interesting stories. https://devsmelbourne.blogspot.com/

Photos make an office a home, don’t they? And often our office is our home for at least a part of the day. Lovely photos and great story.

Lori, I admit this is the first time I filled a room this way. It’s so comfortable now that sometimes it’s difficult to leave and reenter the outside world. lol Thank you for commenting. Hope you have a beautiful night. ~ Aithne

What a great blog post – thanks Aithne for sharing your space with everyone. I love that you grew into the room. I tend to fill up a room first, but might just have to try your way the next time around.

There are many interesting aspects to your blog, paranormal genre and a sewing table (and I believe you mentioned “voices” in your head). Of course in my days as a psychologist, we might discuss “a break from reality.” LOL But as a writer, I’d just say, “Oh, I hope so!” In my own case, finding a photograph of my late father when he was a young man stationed in Prague, Czechoslovakia (now known as The Czech Republic) right after WW-II to try to help them develop democracy (wasn’t going to happen with soviet troops, who had kicked out the Germans, already there). This got the voices “helping me” to write my first in the paranormal “Immortal Relations” series (the sequel will be on Amazon & Kindle by November). Family heirlooms? Well, I do my writing in my late mother-in-law’s sewing room on the shelf where she had her “serger” (not sure of the spelling of that piece of machinery). My own mother passed away a few years ago, but she was extremely gifted and made amazing art on the inside and outside of large egg shells. I believe they were Goose Eggs and she had hinges on them and when they opened there was a beautiful scenes in each one with miniture castles, horse drawn coaches on roads through forests and lots of jewlry all over the inside and outside of each egg (she made dozens of them). And she built a four foot tall and ten foot long doll house with every type of furniture and all the electrical items found in a real home, wired so they lit up like the real things. She even made large Christmas Wise Men and would use cotton and put it by hand on each branch and outcropping on her Christmas Tree. It made it feel cold when you looked at the tree inside the house and people would slow down to drive past her house to see it in the window. Thanks for bringing back all those memories with your blog! Sorry I took up so much space on it, but the memories had to come out!

This is a great post. I love your family heirlooms, and the fact you have a gorgeous dedicated place to write. I don’t anymore, and truly miss it. My favorite family heirloom is an old hand pump that my grandmother had as a young mother on her farm. It was handed down to my dad, and now it sits in my backyard. I have other favorites, but this always comes to mind first.

Aithne, lovely blog. I know Norah is delighted to have your story. So many items touch our hearts, don’t they. I have a rocking chair that has been in my family since 1910. Between its arms I find inspiration, comfort and a sense of who I am.
