Hang It Up

I have always loved the creative and different designs of old hangers.

I was viewing these on Ballard Designs and fell in love. They are on sale for only $35 for the set of three but that still was a bit pricey for me.




 So I found some on eBay! Actual vintage hangers, not reproductions.




I hung them in my laundry room but thought they needed something more, so here is all that I tweaked

Hankie Collection

I didn't realize that I had so many vintage hankies until I decided to show you my collection and all the different ways I display them.

Check Mark!

who knew that my hutch would be so much fun to decorate and I change it a lot. Here is its look for winter with my new Royal Stafford checked plates and Fitz and Floyd snowman plates!



I hand painted the pitcher at a local pottery place. And the checked spoon is a bookmark that I made from an old flattened spoon, hand painted and bowed.


So that's another check mark off my list for 2012!
