Hi friends!!! How have you been? It’s been so long since I last blogged. I have had such a crazy summer with a lot of unexpected twists and turns, but I am back and ready to blog again!
Today, I’m so excited to be joining my sweet friend Tara from Stilettos and Shiplap to share how we have added a bit of summertime magic to our kitchen shelves.

To change things up, I took one of my shelves down and added this unique carved wood shelf — I’m thinking about painting it white. What do you think, paint it or leave it? — Isn’t it so perfect for all my little treasures? If you can’t tell, I love collecting little butter pat dishes and cute little creamer pitchers. There is something about these little dishes that make my heart happy!

In the bottom right corner of the shelf, you’ll see one of my newest little treasures — an old stoneware pudding mold. I have started collecting stoneware pudding molds recently, but this is the only little one I have found. I love it!

Just a few clipped flowers from my garden and a bowl full of cherries add such a summery touch
