bursting with newness

 New arrangements, new pretties, new drop-leaf table.

I hung two plates by the mirror...the mirror was just too plain and needed

a little something more.

And I'm still playing with that darn arrangement on the kitchen wall!

I forgot I had these little metal shelves. What do you think? I like the 

arrangement, but not sold on all the little tchotchkes, especially on the 

metal shelves. I can't tell you how much I've "played" with stuff on the

shelves to make it look right. Giving up for now!

Found this trio of adorable egg cups in a  home decor consignment shop

by my house. (Bringing them lots of stuff for consignment tomorrow - yay!)

Couldn't resist these cute, colorful measuring cups and chalk-paint labeled
jars from Michaels, especially at 50% off.

I've been looking for awhile for an antique drop-leaf table and can you 

believe my mom just now remembered that she had one in her garage?!

She had started to prime it and never finished. She said I could have it.

I was hoping it'd look beautiful in front of my living room windows with

chairs flanking its sides, but sadly, not meant to be. The table is too small

for this space. But I love this table, so I will find somewhere to use it! I

obviously need to finish priming it and then paint it. 

 PS - this photo was taken just a few days ago when it was actually cold

and we had the heat on - hence, the kitty (Clementine) lying under the table

on top of the heater vent! Yesterday was 90 degrees. Go figure.
