In my blog post from Sunday, I said I'd share what I bought at the barn sale.
This vintage muffin pan was only a few dollars and I knew I could do something
creative with it. I looked in my stash of candle stuff and found glass votive
holders and I purchased cheap white votives at Meijer (grocery store here).
I think it makes a rather unique centerpiece on the kitchen table.
Pinterest is full of all kinds of ideas for repurposing old muffin tins, in case you're
interested. I have some more ideas pinned on my board, Repurposing and Recycling.
I don't collect cow creamers, but I thought this cow was so cute. And you
know how I love blue and white. The other side of the cow is marked, "Made in Holland".
I think Mr. Cow fits in just fine on the kitchen shelf - which I
rearranged once again!
Speaking of recent purchases, remember the blue glasses I found at
Goodwill last week? They're even more beautiful now that they've been washed.
I'm not sure what kind of glasses they are...what you're supposed to drink out
of them. It doesn't matter to me - I'll drink water or iced tea out of them. I thought
they looked pretty in the china cabinet with the summer pitcher.
And speaking of the china cabinet, I lightened it up today for summer ~ took out all
the rooster stuff (except for the blue and white polka dot rooster - love the bright
color of this one) and added some brighter colored things. I used scrapbook paper
to cover the middle back wall of the cabinet, just to lighten it up a bit. I wish I
were one of those people who had the guts and know-how to repaint this cabinet
white. Anyone want to come over and do it, I'll put you up for a few days
and feed you. ;-)
The baby robins are 11 days old today. They're so big, they barely fit
in the nest anymore. They crouch down like this when they see me coming
now. Draw their heads into their bodies. From what I've read, they will fly
away from the nest in 2-4 more days. I will miss them! I've loved watching
them grow and change every day.
