Friends, this is the shelf above my kitchen sink.

The woman plainly labels me a geek – never thought I’d love being one so much lol – for she is a figurine of a World of Warcraft character. Of the Draenai race, she was a gift to me from hubby for Christmas because one of my two favorite characters to play in WoW looked just like her. Yes, ahem… *clearing my throat* my name is Kalanna and I am a recovering WoW addict. I have not logged in for three months now.

The teacup is one of the last from my great-grandmother’s collection that dispersed far and wide into the living rooms of her daughters, grand-daughters and finally to us greats upon her death. It is special to me for two reasons: she was a creative lady, running her own craft supply shop from a rickety shed in the backyard. We were also the family to carry on in her home after she passed and so got to tear down said shed and give away all of its miscellaneous and glorious contents.
