I was telling a friend that I keep bay leaf on my bedside table for good luck and she said she doesn’t have a bedside table? I use mine as a storage space, a coffee cup stand, a bookshelf, a place to put my stuff on when I get home, a notebook holder, a home for my lamps and so on. my drawers are filled to the brim with my little trinkets. I think when you get your own place, a bedside table should be top ten on the list of “need to buy.” my bedside tables mean the world to me?
