Springtime Breakfast Table

Yesterday I went to Michael's on my lunch hour.  Their Ashland line was 50% off so I purchased this little wooden box, the stems, and the bunny rabbit and little oval box. 

Isn't he a little cutie?

They only had three of these stems left so I bought all of them.  Notice the little bird nest and egg.  They are so sweet.

Don't you love the Robin's egg here?

Such a precious little box.

The wooden box has the word Spring on front and back.  This photo shows the back.  Whoops, need to remove the UPC label on the little oval box. 
 The dishes are very old.  Some belonged to my mother and some to my MIL.  The little cup is one of four that I have.  I don't have the saucer, they have very delicate pink and blue flowers on them and a silver band at the top.  The roosters are S/P shakers from Target.  The napkins are Shabby Chic from Target as well.  The rooster napkin rings are a good will find. The place mats are a thrift store purchase.
I know you recognize this little fellow.   I'm thinking of adding some pink or blue to these little birds.




Hope you enjoyed the breakfast table with its Spring decor. 

I am linking to the party at Susan's.  Be sure to drop in.

    What a beautiful spring display you have made! The bunny box is precious indeed - the bird's nest, the spring box of flowers and bunny- I could go on and on.

    Cute post! It was like seeing peeps of Spring or eggs on an Easter egg hunt. Happy Spring!

    Thank you for visiting my blog! I love the box and stems. Normally, I prefer a monotone palate on the bird, but I think you're right about adding some color to that one!

Blogging Again From My Mountain Cottage, Shadymont

After a much needed rest, I'm back with a new blog name and a few slight changes, like the template, and the content will vary and not always be home decor, though that is my niche, and I will continue to have it frequently.  But I want to use my blog to also give those who may read it a little encouragement into the Goodness of God. Some of the fog from my depression is lifting now and I'm starting to feel better.  I've had a really hard time, personally, for the last seven months, and the divorce still isn't final.  I think it is nearing being final now though, and I hope I will continue to get clarity from this fog. I have a story to tell regarding other matters, but I still am not able to talk  about it quite yet.  But when I say I've been through the fire, or maybe the pits of hell, just believe me.  I now understand the meaning of Never say "Never"!  Things can happen to us when we are vulernable that we think would never  happen.  ...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...

Bar Stools Makeover

I'm still receiving therapy by keeping my hands busy, plus today I ran quite a few errands.  It's been a crying day for me today.  Just so much to worry about.  It seems like sometimes everything is just messed up, and there's nothing we can do to fix any of it.   Night before last, I painted the bar stools.  I've had them since 2000, and they were nice, but I was just in the mood to paint them!!  The form of the stools had a textured bronze color, the seats were beige with the fleur de lis design, and the wood across the back was brown.  Well, needless to say, they got their own coat of chalk paint in white, the seats covered in blue and white, and the boards across the back are blue.  I have the fabric to make matching placemats and napkins, but today was not the day to try to sew, for me.  I'm just too nervous.  In fact, I didn't do anything creative today except switch out the curtains in the powder room that I only made and p...
