Collecting Pitchers

I adore pitchers! I collect them and have some of the prettiest ever. This little cutie is one I just bought. Isn't it adorable? All pink checks, black and white stripes and ROSES! I collect a lot of things, but most of all anything with roses: towels, plates, prints, fabrics, bowls, cards, boxes, blankets, cups, trays, paper, you name it. If there is a rose on it, I'll buy it. I wonder what others collect. I know some people collect vintage items and stamps, coins, CDs, videos but I'd really love to hear from someone who collects really unusual stuff. Any takers out there? Tell me about it.

Just sitting in my family room, living room or kitchen gives me great peace and joy to see the "eye candy" on the walls and tables. I couldn't stand bare walls or windows without pretty floral or striped or checked curtains. It is just a visual feast for my eyes to take it all in.

Birdhouses

I have always love birdhouses, especially the decorative ones. I collect them and have them under tables and on shelves and even try to sell them on ebay and my website. They are truly adorable, but I guess other people aren't as interested in them as I am. LOL But here are a couple of them I put on some shelves I hung saturday night - with hubby's help, of course. Okay, okay, he did all the work; I just supervised!! He's such a great guy. Gotta love that man. Anyone else collect anything - anything at all?!?! Ha. I'd love to hear from you with ideas about your collections. Who knows; it might get me to start ANOTHER collection.

Hope everyone had a wonderful easter. Holly, I love your doodle packs. Put some more on so I can see them! How do you like the little graphic I came up with?!?! I think he's a cutie.

Roses & Wine.........................

I have so many stemware glasses it isn't even funny. I don't know what to do with them anymore. Then a gracious lady gave me an idea! Boing.......... here it is! I'm not sure what I'll do with them; I may sell some and keep some. Decisions, decisions! Anyway, thanks, Stephanie, for one terrific idea for people who don't drink and are stuck with dozens of vintage wine glasses.

Look at Your Refrigerator!!

I love these little boxes we can paint and personalize. Try it.

Refrigerators! Have you really looked at yours lately? I've seen some that I wouldn't even keep food for my pets (if I had any) in. Yuck. Well, I'm here to tell you that they can be beautiful also. Put some fresh strawberries in it. Then some apples, lemons, oranges and kiwi. Look at the colors of all that. Just gorgeous. Put a freshener in there so it doesn't have bad smells. Put some lovely stemware in them to get frosty and cold before you serve your drinks - water, kool-aid, juice, sodas or whatever you drink. They will look so pretty in there. Get rid of all the rotting leftovers you have and bottles of salad dressings you've bought and haven't eaten for months because you don't particularly like it. Oh, and Bernina's Poppy Seed dressing is to die for!! Gotta love those refrigerators and if you have one that is vintage, so much the better! Just make them lovely inside and out. Put decals on the fridge. Yes, you can do it.
