I've been guilty...
yes, guilty ...
of ignoring my sideboard!
I hadn't touched a thing on it since March,
when I updated it just a "hare"/hair for Easter.
(sorry, couldn't resist the pun)
I like to bring out my floral Mandeville and King Seed Box
this time of year and do it up right.
My sideboard is in my main hall right off the kitchen...
next to the stairway to the lower level.
It's impossible to get a good shot of it
without hanging like a monkey from a chandelier.
tight space.
just ask my son-in-law who reminds me each time he's here
and unloading suitcases and French Bulldogs.
(just jabbing you a little, Keith)
too bad.
love my sideboard being here.
my husband knows NOT to complain.
(I better be sweet or there'll be no Coldwater Creek gift card this year for Mother's Day)
And since Mother's Day will be here next month
I added one of my sweet framed greetings from 1939.
and a vintage flower book from 1945 with some seed packets.
McSquirrel is residing in the metal conservatory/lantern.
so...let's see how long this new ivy lasts...
I love this teensy woven basket...
just perfect for a little birdie
(everything here except the lantern were flea market finds)
so much better!
I'll be hanging out at these get-togethers:

ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful seed box. Great find!!! Sally
ReplyDeleteA beautiful vignette, as always, Debra. Great seed box.
ReplyDeleteYour sideboard looks great, I love all the spring touches. It is easy to just leave things the way they were, no dusting involved.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Debra! I love your terrarium and how you decorated it!
ReplyDeleteOff topic but the tower of straw baskets is killing me, in the best way. The lantern is so wonderfully appointed. I just found one and it's so huge I am clueless as to what to do with it besides sell it...maybe I will keep it and be a copy cat. Thanks so much for your loving comment today. Love Olive
ReplyDeleteOooh Debra, it is just beautiful!... I so love how you always, always use Nature and birdies and vintage books that I soo love!... your pretty sideboard should really be in a magazine!... like the other ladies, I want one of everything you own!... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteLove those seed packets. And I've never seen one of those seed boxes in person. LUCKY! You live in a terrific vintage place on the planet don't you? xx

ReplyDeleteI've got some old seed packets, but your box is wonderful! And who cares about function anyway?! It's got to LOOK good. :@
ReplyDeleteEverything looks perfect. I adore your sideboard but I have to admit my eye went right to the stack of baskets. All of it is stunning!
ReplyDeleteWOW Debra - the photos are absolutely gorgeous! And, I saw a little treasure there, nestled into the mix. The Lady of the Lake book!! I have been looking for that forever....I always check my local thrift stores, and also Canton First Monday but I have yet to find it. Oh my goodness. Have you read it yet? Don't you love old books like that?
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great week!! xo

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sideboard. Love the baskets and all your treasures to do with the garden. I think I could never have enough too. My favorite is McSquirrel in the conservatory/lantern, so cute...Have a fun week.

Love everything about your sideboard but especially the framed greeting and the book -- vintage paper is so special.
ReplyDeleteDebra
Great sideboard display or vignette. Love the seed box and all your little pieces in the display.
ReplyDeleteI love the conservatory filled with the pots and the nest! So natural and spring-like. And who can miss that stack of picnic baskets/totes? I ♥ them.

Hi Debra, as usual you create an amazing vignette. I have to tell you, I have been wanting a seed box for years. My older sister has one and I hope someday she will sale it to me. She downsizes a little each year. Yours looks so pretty on your buffet. Thanks for sharing it with Share Your Cup!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jann
p.s. the pun was fun!
Oh, wish I had one that pretty. You did it up good! Now you've got me in the mood to change something...
ReplyDeleteBrenda
