Pink Inspiration at the Quilt Show

Last Saturday was the annual

"Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show"

Since we live very near Sisters and the weather was perfect for strolling about, we decided to attend the quilt show.

They close off the main road and you can walk right up the middle of the street to enjoy all the beauty!

There were lots of people and lots of quilts!

Vintage Picnic : Junk Party Entry!

Howdy~Hey Ya'all

Welcome to my "Junk Party" entry!

I LOVE vintage picnic junk

My picnic basket collection. These are great because you can use them to store decor items you are not displaying at the time. I have one more, but it is up on a high shelf with a plant on it.

I like old Thermos's. I have several of the standard red plaid but love to find cool, unique graphics and unusual lids. Do you have any of these??


I like them in blue...

RED

And Green!!

Hey, how did that Farm Chicks cookbook get out here! Can't keep those Gals away from a good junk party, teehee!!

Do you collect vintage picnic stuff?? I would LOVE to see it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Make sure you pop over to Kennesha's for the rest of the

"Junk Party"

Lookie What I Got!!

I went to get the mail the other day and look what I found! It was my box of goodies from winning the drawing from "The Maisy Report" WoooHooooo!!! Benny was very interested in the box. I wonder if Maisy has kittys too??

Then Lucky realized we had a box on the floor. They LOVE mystery boxes!

Look at how nice Maisy had everything wrapped! She sent me a sweet little card with cherries on it because she knows I LOVE cherries just like she does.

I got to go shopping in her "Maisy's Market" Etsy shop. I picked out this cute little canister with polka dots. It goes perfect on my PINK shelf.

And just look at this sweet frosty pink rounded candy dish....I LOVE IT!! I have it next to an old family photo of my Granny Ruth when she was little. She is the blond curly top on the right. She was number 10 out of 11. She prayed for a baby brother and she got one. He is on an older sisters lap.

I put my little rounded red candy dish next to it so it would not be too lonely! I think I may have just started a new collection.....I will just tell hubby, it's all Maisy's fault, heehe!! I think now I need a white milk glass one with hobnails.

I also got these cute little trays and a vintage coffee tin. I have been wanting an old coffee tin for years. That Maisy has GREAT stuff in her shop!! Make sure you pop over there to browse around! Thank you Maisy, I LOVE all my new treasures, your the BEST!!

Collections around my Kitchen

Firstly.... I want to thank everyone for their kind comments on my Kitchen Redo. They were greatly appreciated! Now I wanted to show you some close ups of little collections in my kitchen. This first one shows my vintage Hamilton Beach mixer. It came as a white chipped up mess. Now I know a lot of you would have loved it as I found it. (got it at the Habitat for Humanity store btw) but I knew it was begging for a coat of red paint. Now, I have painted LOTS of stuff and am NOT afraid of a spray can, but......I was intimidated by this project. I knew it would need to be taken apart and the pieces painted, the inside cleaned and oiled and then the whole shebang put back together. I have no problem admitting to NOT being a rocket scientist and doing this myself made me feel a mess. Soooooooo I started to beg the men in my life to do it for me (WHY do we do that??). My Dad was not interested and Hubby......well, lets not go there. Sooooooo I said, like the Little Red Hen....I WILL DO IT MYSELF! And I did..I took out all the little screws, cleaned all the parts, painted what needed it, greased the mechanism, put it all back together and TADA! It works good and looks even better. I can not say how proud I was to have done it MYSELF!

Here are some of my old gadgets. I LOVE old gadgets...I have a box with LOTS more. When I get moved, I am going to paint all the handles to match my NEW kitchen....I don't know if they will need to be pink, red or robins egg blue.


I HAD (notice I bought the cutest one I could find, heehe!) to buy this scale when I had my shop. We used this on our candy counter. It now adds just the right amount of red to the top of my frig. I could totally buy every Bailey's face cup I find, they are adorable!


Yes, I do love my Mary Engelbreit! I am still sad I won't be getting any more "Home Companion" magazines. I have many of her books and calendars etc...Her art just cheers me up!

Here is my collection of yellow birdie S&P shakers. It all started with the set on the right of the 3rd shelf down. I had them sitting on my microwave for a long time and they just made me so happy every time I saw them. So their family grew.........Don't you just love big families!! I also collect the vintage potholders. The colors and patterns amaze me since I have never learned to do knitting or crocheting. Maybe someday.....

Thank you for stopping by to peek at my kitchen collections!
