French Faience in the Holiday Cupboard

A few weeks ago I decided to try something a little different here in the Holiday Cupboard, by bringing out my French Pottery aka my "wedding china". When I was choosing my china pattern for my Bridal Registry back in the 70's, I fell in love with this beautiful handpainted romantic look.

Hi Friends and Welcome,

Thanks so much for coming by to visit and join in on the party. I know the warmer weather with some sunny days is helping all of us feel a little better. Just getting out of the house and wandering around in the yard boosts my mental and emotional well-being. I hope you're enjoying your Spring and finding creativity and inspiration to bring some joy into your daily life.

Farmtable Vintage Bucket with Tulips

Do you have a spot that causes you to be continually thinking about the next fun change-up? The farm table in the Garden Room is one of those spots for me. After all the Easter bunnies and forsythia were put away, I wanted to use this big bundle of white faux tulips before (real tulips) were a thing of the past. Spring flowers and shrubs just don't last long enough!

Hi Friends and Welcome,

We had a great turnout this last week. Thanks so much for coming by and joining in on the party. It's a high point of my week to see all the great ideas and wonderful decor and recipes that you all bring to the table. This is such a difficult time for all of us in so many different ways, and I'm so grateful that we can reach out and encourage each other!

Rainy Day Busy-ness

Hello, my friends...

This is a bit of a random post, but I wanted to share a few pics of what I've been up to around here. I felt the motivation to change out my Holiday Cupboard china from green transferware to my French Faience. And here in the Dining Room, I haven't shown you my sweet little ceramic rabbit tureen that I made many years ago, and has been here for Easter.

Hi Friends and Welcome,

We're finally back on a warming trend. Real Spring weather instead of down to freezing every night and cold rain. Brrr. I'm hoping that I'll be able to find a few annual flowers like impatiens and geraniums to bring in some color. I'm ready for some Spring garden inspiration. How about you all? Thanks so much for coming by and joining in on the link party!

Spring Thing in the Hearth Room

Hello everyone, hope you're well and keeping your sanity. (I'll get back to you all on that one...)

I took a lot of pics several weeks ago when I was decorating for Spring and Easter. The Hearth Room didn't get Easter decor; no bunnies or things, but more of a Spring theme. Actually it hasn't changed too much since early March. Lambs and sheep are a favorite of mine, so the little bench in front of the sofa has one of my sheep and a twiggy basket of Paperwhites.
