The first posts of each season usually grab more attention. People are always looking forward to Spring, so here was one of my early vignettes for the Spring season. Anything "Mossy" gets my attention, so a pair of Moss Bunnies stole the spotlight for Spring.
In any given year, the Holiday Cupboard grabs many of the "top 10" spots. I try to decorate the old pie safe cupboard for each season or holiday. This year the St. Patrick's Day theme featured my green transferware and vintage postcards which have a "limited engagement" time.
My little collection of vintage chickens and roosters come out in the summer. When I think of farms and livestock I tend to think warm temps and summertime fun. The Holiday Cupboard gets decorated with my French faience with colorful handpainted florals and varied transferware. Added bits of Quimper ware, seed packets and old cottage pieces fill in between dish stacks.
Taking a que from Forrest Gump another of the Holiday Cupboard posts hits the top faves with a Valentines theme. A few vintage and antique chocolate boxes with red transferware, ironstone tureens, and postcards decorate the shelves.
I'm part of a small group of bloggers called Lifestyle of Love which shares and celebrates vintage topics and items bimonthly. We have a great time sharing how we use these items in our home décor. I always come away with amazing ideas and inspiration to try something new with vintage décor. Here is one post on using vintage buttons.
Here's another styling in the Holiday Cupboard with a patriotic theme.
My antique blue willow transferware tureen filled with a glass hurricane and candle and moss with ironstone and a flag display decorates the family sideboard in the hearth room.
The cookbook cupboard is another cabinet in the hearth room/kitchen area that holds kitchen related décor like my cookie jars, cookbooks and fun seasonal pieces. Here it is decorated for mid-fall and a super easy and colorful paper pumpkin garland.
Here is one of my own favorites from last Spring.
