Be Inspired #187

Happy May Day Everyone,
and Welcome to Be Inspired!!

Well, it's shaping up to be one of "those" weeks. I'd been waiting for the community garage sale in our neighborhood and area because there will be a lot of people out. I have tons of "stuff"... some vintage, some furniture, household items, lot's of decor items, general garage/moving sale fare, and I thought it was always scheduled for Mother's Day Weekend. I'd participated before, and it was on Mother's Day Weekend. But no...surprise! We saw signs out for THIS weekend. I've had to hustle with finding help, and getting things priced. you know...it goes on and on. I'm exhausted and I haven't even had the sale yet! So I only had a chance to grab three features, sorry it's a little condensed this week. Take a look at three great links last week.

thanks so much gals for sharing the goods!

and I just have to share this hilarious pic my daughter sent me from Pinterest.

Yep, says it all!

If you're interested in hitting the sales in our area, check out Craigslist for the garage sales in Springfield, Missouri this Friday. Ravenwood South...I'll be there! Sorry I won't be able to get back with you individually by email. I was totally taken by surprise on this.

Vintage Bird Prints in a Spring Cupboard

I have several sets of vintage Bird Prints, but I love that there are four in this set, and they have plain, chippy black frames which make them perfect for a grouping in any room. I wanted to use them in my kitchen cupboard, but they didn't photograph well, so I temporarily hung them from the metal inserts on the front.

I hate to say it, but my "Holiday Cupboard" that I had downstairs at the other house had to be sold. It was part of a lot of my chippy whites that I knew I just wouldn't have room for in our next home. Surprisingly, this cupboard that I had been using in my studio at the other house (now in the kitchen sitting area) has stepped up to the plate to do double duty as an Ironstone and Transferware Cupboard and becoming a "seasonal" spot for display.

I wanted some Springtime goodies to be displayed, so they are joining some of the Ironstone pieces, an old box with seed print graphics, bird nests, and my bovine beauties.

My two Staffordshire cow figurines and a figural jam pot lovely.

I permanently have ~~stolen, stole, confiscated~~ borrowed these English crocks from my hubby, for this cupboard. I think he knows they are in there...hmmmm...he may come hunting for them later.

Lamby milkglass butter dish.

You can see that the bird prints are pretty well hidden in here, I may try to find a way to give them a little more height. And I have some vintage wallpaper that I'm itching to cover the backs of the cabinet in. soon I hope...

So this is the best of both worlds; a combined "Holiday Cupboard" AND a Transferware/Ironstone Cupboard. You know the old Certs Mints commercial... "two, two, two cupboards in one!"

I know...I'm crazy...
