Kitchen Hutch

013 Last November, my husband surprised me with this country-styled Farmhouse hutch for our kitchen. I had my eye on it for some time. It is large and fills nearly the entire end wall of the room. I will probably paint it Cottage White at some time but for now, I am really enjoying the country feel of  the stain.

One of the things I adore about it is the fact that I get to change it out so often….for all the seasons….so you can see I am rushing Spring a bit. :-)

006White pitchers of any size or shape are one of my favorites. I just adore them!

I incorporated several pieces of my pink milk glass collection into the hutch.

I am not much of a mug person but these Lenox mugs just called out my name…they are really like elongated cups.

019  Years ago, when I entered my first craft show with friends, I was the only one with all Victorian things. All the others had Country things. One of my dearest friends leaned over to me and whispered….”Before this show is over, Country will steal your heart.” I laughed thinking, yea, right! Guess what? She was right……I love Country things and have managed to find a way to incorporate pieces all over my home. So….this hutch thrills my heart. ♥

Thanks so much for visiting with me today. You are always so welcome.

Many blessings,

Moving Things Around

Playing in the Den

007 I’m having fun moving things around in our small den. It is one of my very favorite rooms in our room. I love cozy little spaces…so this room just delights my spirit.

My husband and I keep the den ‘just for us.’ It is our secret spot in our home for reading, watching DVD’s or enjoying the fireplace.

I’m joining Marty for Table Top Tuesday. Many thanks for hosting Marty.

Hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday.

Doing some work, some crafting and cooking. Pure heaven. I hope you are enjoying your day, too!

Little Treats

Just Fun Little Things

001 Hi Everyone!

I wanted to show you the darling little metal pitchers I found at Hobby Lobby for half off….yea! I love the dragonfly.

003

The little fabric heart said….”Pick me up and buy me.” It did…….:-)

006

The measuring spoons with the heart shapes stole my heart. Each one has a different word on it:  Love, Laughter, Dreams and Joy.

Add on:  I have had several requests asking where I purchased the spoons. They are from a little home gift shop near me. They are made from a heavy metal and come in many different shapes…including Roosters! :-)

Hope you are staying warm….looks like I am in the only state that doesn’t have snow today. Yikes!
