A Little Change-Up...


Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  I spent some time on a FUN antiquing trip with my daughter as we are beginning to prepare in earnest for Junk Bonanza ,which is coming up in a short 3-1/2 weeks!  On the home front, I decided it was time to change-up the hutch!  I enjoyed the spring hutch so much, with all of the green and yellow...but daffodils in August is pushing it!  I have been looking towards fall more and more right now and the hutch was calling out to me for something new...
 

Lots of stoneware, baskets, wood and silverplate...



I found this antique basket at an estate sale not long ago...


love the braided handle...


An altered peat pot holds old clothespins...


such beautiful patina on the wood!


You might recognize many of my fun finds and projects gathered here.


I collect engraved silverware...hotel silver, and others...




Another collection is antique cow prints...I used one here...



of course, one of my old scales had to be included, too!



Milk glass, stoneware, transferware, lace, and wood all have their special places here...



This beautiful bowl holds long dried hydrangea...love the faded, pale tones...


The oak leaf decoration is wonderful for the season...




The tea leaf plate I recently found, partners with a teapot which was my mother-in-law's...


and a salt glaze jug shares the space with brown and white transferware, and rooster salt and pepper shakers!


I love the faded colors of this beautiful old book.



I'm not missing those daffodils too much!


Until next time...

  12. It's hot and sticky here today and yesterday I nearly melted... and I woke up today thinking how much I am looking forward to Autumn (as it is here!)

    I love your hutch.... my most favourite thing are your spoons! I have a couple of these and I love them.

    But of course, as usual EVERYTHING is beautiful :)

  13. Such a beautiful display dear Linda.
    Your hutch is a great background for all this wonderful items you collected- and which looks amazing together. I love the old basket with all the cream and nature- together.
    Enjoy, I did!

  23. This is so fun to look at. I'm starting to love antiquing myself. I didn't realize there was such a thing as antique cow prints. Did they love cows in the past?

  27. I can see you and I have very similar taste. I love everything in your cupboard. And, the handle on that old basket is gorgeous. I've made baskets before and that looks like it'd be really difficult to make.

  30. Hi Linda! So many neat things! I love how those dried hydrangeas look...so pretty! Also, I just found a scale like that too, while shopping in Snohomish a few weeks ago. I'm still looking for something pretty to display on top. The clothes pins are always a favorite too. Have a nice weekend!

  32. You will have to tell me which area you will be in as I am flying in from Chicago to Junk Bonanza... woohooo! Last year was my first time and there was no way that I was going to not go this year. In fact, I am having a giveaway on my blog for a free early bird ticket and tote that I have created... that's how much I support this event! Your collections are lovely and it's always fun to poke around in someone else's! Thanks for sharing your space and I will be checking back in again!
