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.

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…

I started by brushing some Elmer’s glue on the cabinet. In some areas I brushed the glue on thicker, and other areas got a thinner layer, this helps the cracks to vary in size, making it look more authentic. I left it in the sun to dry for just two or three minutes, before painting. You want…

Bloom where you are planted ~ spring shelfie
Happy Thursday, friends!! Yesterday was a big day for us, my boys all started online school! On Tuesday night, I told my kids to do their best to sleep in the next morning, that way we could all be rested for our first day of home school. We even stayed up really late so they’d want to sleep in, but we were hit with an earthquake that ruined that! Yep, that’s right, Utah had an earthquake on Wednesday morning that woke us all up! It was an exciting start to our first day of online school. I have to say, I am super impressed with how the teachers have worked…
