An old weathered, chippy window. A little burlap padding behind the window.





A little more interesting than just my clock hanging on the wall.

Silver Condiment Server

I am joining My Romantic Home's Show and Tell Friday. A Silver Condiment Server The design on the silver is so pretty.







It was in perfect condition when I found it. We were out in the junky junk at Canton and there it was. $50.00.I know that sounds like a lot but I have looked at these for a long time and they are usually $100.00 plus. It has all the pieces and no breaks or chips.


This picture does not do this justice, the etching on the glass is beautiful.

Lemon Pound Cake

This is my mother's recipe. It is a great lemon pound cake and is so moist . It is one of my favorites. Nothing better than having fresh eggs for a pound cake, yum.


Fresh eggs produced by one of our chicks.

A Plate Holder

I am linking up with Faded Charm's White Wednesday to share my plate holder, which made out of 2 old shutters. A fun way to display all your plates.
You can find these anywhere, I got this one at Canton for $3.00, they were all beat up and scratched. I spray painted them white and added a little corner piece.







Happy White Wednesday!

A Burlap Pillow

I love my new pillow, after looking at the burlap pillows in the stores and the price of them I decided I would make my own. I love the contrast of the rough burlap and the delicate pearls and lace.

This bench was made from an old bed I found at Goodwill for $15.00 for the head and foot board.

My new pillow. :-))

A New Burlap Runner and a Cute Spool

Another rooster at Our Cottage Nest.
Our friends went to Round Top and brought back a bunch of these cute spools, I love the rusty rooster on top.

I found the cutest table runner, pretty sunflowers.




I am loving burlap these days.

Happy White Wednesday!!!!

I will be linking up with Faded Charm's White Wednesday. Hope it is a great day for everyone. I love the white flowers in the old jars.

The bird cage in the background was a Canton find as well, I am addicted to old bird cages. I have candles sitting in it and use the bottom as a towel rack.
I found this at Canton, on my last visit, for $18.00, I thought it was a great deal. All the jars were in good condition. I plan on replacing the jars with the more greenish color jars. I just have to find them on my next trip to Canton.
