In the Pink

Spring has made an arrival in some parts of blogland!!!  I am enjoying the pics of blooming flowers and trees, and all your lovely spring touches!!!  However, here in the northeast, winter is making a come back!!!  Very windy here with light snow this morning.....every now and then some rain  and then some snow blows past my windows......RAW and BLEAK!!!

But that's okay, spring is a bloomin in my heart!!!  I finally finished my cherry hutch in the living room and just knew you wanted to see....and had to put in just a few touches of Easter....





















This last pic is in the foyer, the next portion to get spring-ified....just starting!!!

Vintage Kitchen Things

I don't have vintage cookbooks.....but wait, the ones from the 1960's are considered vintage now right???  No matter, I'm not taking pics of those........

Here are some of my utensils gathered in an antique apple bowl.....


Spice box, containers and canisters in my kitchen.....











Thinking Pink

Pink has been on my brain for awhile now, must be thinking ahead to Spring.......I'm not complaining now, we've had hardly any winter at all this year!!!  My cherry hutch needed some updateing and fresh pink was the answer...not done yet, so just a few pics for you......



 I collect rabbits, and this one just came to me from Hobby Lobby, jumped right into my basket she did!!!  I added a pink bow, fancy smansty.....



Some lusterware pieces......

I'm Back!!!

It's been such a long time since my last post....missed you guys!!!  I had a cold/flu that tried to be part of my life forever......finally got rid of that nonsense!!!  Then spiraled into a funk that I hope am coming out of now, but still want to hibernate, ever get like that???  I mean, where is winter???  I look forward to being snowed in for awhile, nesting, drinking hot chocolate, curled up with a good book, making homemade soup, midnight walks in the snow, cleaning closets.......come on.....I need this!!!

Anywho, I have started puttering around with getting displays ready and some vignettes, hunting and gathering.......
Got this new lantern at Pier I in pale aqua and am gathering some elements for the buffet.....

Love these colors together....and have visited all the blogs, glad to see everyone has been sooooo busy.....ttyl...
