For the love of crates and baskets
Hi friends!!! Happy Saturday! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend so far! Today, I’m so excited to be joining a group of bloggers for a fun blog hop, hosted by the very sweet and talented Cindy of County Road 407. Today’s blog hop is all about baskets and crates, and y’all know how much I love old baskets, crates, bins, buckets, etc. I love to fill them with flowers, pillows, blankets, books, etc. When placing fresh flowers in a basket, crate, bucket, etc, start by finding some sort of container/vase to hold water for the flowers. For this antique crate/box, I used four glass cylinders to hold the water.…

French Vintage Friday – vintage tureen
Happy Friday, friends! I hope your week was wonderful! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing something that I’ve had for a few years, it was actually one of my first vintage treasures, this lovely Johnson Brothers tureen. I added some fresh flowers to it, for a little added happiness inside my ironstone cabinet. I used “wet” flower foam for the floral arrangement. It was actually the first time that I’ve ever used flower foam, and I LOVED it!! I highly recommend using it! Flower foam comes in “wet” and “dry”. “Wet” is for fresh flowers, “dry” is for faux flowers. It holds the stems perfectly! It was a must…

French Vintage Friday – old skeleton keys
Happy Friday, friends!! I’m so excited for the weekend! I’m finally going to start building a pergola in my backyard. I’ve had the lumber sitting in my garage for a while now, and have decided that it is time to get it done! Yay! I can’t wait to show y’all how it turns out…hopefully it turns out good, but I’ll show you either way. Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing something that I have always found to be so intriguing, antique skeleton keys.

A bucket full of seasonal flowers
Hi friends!! How are you all? The past few months have been a real struggle for me, and I’m sure it has been hard for so many of you too. Recently I decided to push myself to add a little extra happiness into my everyday living, whether it be lighting a favorite candle, working in my yard, running through the sprinklers with my littles, going on a bike ride, arranging flowers, etc. Taking the time to find a little extra happiness to intentionally bring into my day has been so beneficial to my soul. This bucket of viburnum snowballs, fresh from my garden, brings me so much happiness, and brings…

French Vintage Friday – old blue jars
Happy Friday, friends!! Here in the states, it’s Memorial Day weekend! In honor of Memorial Day, I put together a patriotic mantel display, using antique/vintage blue jars and flowers from my garden. I got these beauties, last year at an auction, for just $5 for the set! Some are more on the vintage side, and some are antique. I especially love the old jars with air bubbles in the glass!  For my mantel, I simply put some viburnum “snowballs” in the jars, with flags. Here’s a little tip, if you want to keep your viburnum clippings lasting longer, dip the ends of the cut stems into alum, before placing…

French Vintage Friday ~ chippy antique bench
Happy Friday, friends!! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing this darling, chippy bench back. I adore the chippy paint!!! My sister had an antique bench in her back yard that she was going to get rid of. As we looked at it, we had an idea…she would take the seat part of the bench and use it as a coffee table in her living room, and I would take the back. I had the perfect place in mind! I’m completely loving it!!! I have wanted to put something there for awhile now, but didn’t know exactly what, until now. It’s always exciting to think outside of the box, and…
