Shabby White Wednesday at the French Cupboard

The second Wednesday of each month

I'll be taking a little trip to

the French Cupboard.

Come on over for a visit,

 if you'd like to see what I've been doing...

After you visit the French Cupboard,

please head on over to Faded Charm

and take a peek at the rest of the wonderful whiteness!!

The Heart of the Home

We've heard the phrase

"the Heart of the Home",

and yes, the kitchen truly is.

So I'm sharing a few photos today of my kitchen.

We moved here over 7 years ago,

so neither of our girls lived here growing up,

but they both feel this house is "home" to them.

Our kitchen furniture was purchased new,

but now I would have purchased an old farm table

and an old cupboard.

I've thought about painting the cabinets distressed off white, but I just can't get there.

My trim is white and my furniture is off white and my appliances are almond.

So I can't imagine how it would all fit together.

Oh Well, it's as it is...

Even though my table is not old, I do love the style.

It has a leaf and expands to fit 8,

so Christmas breakfast, the table is full.

I recently redid the top of the china cabinet

by bringing in an old piece of painted tin, a basket of fall goodies,

and a plate holder with ironstone pitchers. 

Thank goodness the rusty crustiness is up and away from the table! 

My favorite spot in the house is my sunroom,

right off the kitchen.

It's my seasonal "show off",

 and a great place for napping kitties.

Ladies, I'm so glad I've joined the parties.

My counter tops needed a big cleaning!

This silver tray on the island holds my seasonal vignette for the kitchen.

Always a bouquet in the Homer Laughlin Ironstone Pitcher.

I DO have a new ceramic stove top,

which I dealy love!

"Smiley" and I are so glad you came to visit today

Hope you're feeling "at home".

Hope you all are having a wonderful Fall week.

Silver Sunday Surprise

Today is Silver Sunday and I wanted to share a little silver sumpin'

I found at our Ozarks Craft Fair last weekend.

We've been going for the last 20 years or so,

and it's always such fun.

This darling little silver creamer

transformed itself into a sweet little lamp.

This is on my kitchen counter.

My English tray which depicts Buckingham Palace in the background,

and a few "cocky" friends.

And who doesn't love a stack of English Ironstone?

And the surprise?

Sweet Beth was having a Silver Sunday Give away

of which I was the lucky winner!

A $50 Anthropologie Gift Certificate,

a 1936 Pocket Diary,

AND one of her wonderful necklaces with the dolly and top hat.

(Thank you for saving me one!!) 

These pink ribbons and lace were almost too pretty to unwrap!

Thank You, Dear Beth, Love all the goodies!!

Hope you're having a wonderful Day.

Yard work awaits!

love,

Debra
