Staging Area
In response to rfe’s request on the D*I*Y Planner boards to see my staging area, here it is:
The piece has been in Mary Jo’s family for at least a couple generations, and she inherited it when her mom moved earlier this year. It fits perfectly under the stairs. On top is a Levenger three-bay recharging stand for our cell phones and my iPod. In the recharger’s drawer I keep my two belt pouches for lighter day-trips.
The hat is not mine (ahem). I’m still looking for the perfect hat.
Hope your inner history major gets a kick out of this, rfe! One of these days I’ll get around to photographing all my carry and posting it here.

Just lovely!
I’m beginning my family heirloom collection – so far I have a goose-neck rocker from my grandmother, an antique iron bed my father salvaged from a junk yard and restored and a secretary desk my father gave my mother as a wedding present. Now I just the kids to hand them down to!
BTW, this post led me to find, at long last, the perfect hat. In responding to the post back on the DIY boards, ygor wrote, “have you looked at Tilley?”
Tilley? I asked. Who are they? So I went and looked. (If you’re curious, it’s http://www.tilley.com .)
Holy Censored. These are great hats. I am now the proud owner of a TH5 in mocha-colored hemp (my favorite natural fiber) and man, I am so impressed I could weep. It just became part of my standard gear. So a big public thanks to ygor is due here.
One of the things that I love most about my Tilley is that it perfectly balances elegance, panache, and insouciance, which allows it to work equally well with business and casual attire. Now THAT is hard to do. It is like having Levi’s jeans for your head. Without, you know, actually wearing pants on your head.
