August in the Cookbook Cupboard

I don't change up the "cookbook nook" cupboard as much as some of my other spots, but I do like to keep it seasonal. Lately I've been sharing some of my vintage chick-a-doodles that are meandering around the house. Last year they liked this spot, so I thought I'd bring a few back and share it's late-summer look.

At the last house I kept my wooden monogram on the mantel,

 but here it's usually a backdrop for the top of the little cupboard.

The chalkboard really sets it off.

A vintage marmalade crock has a small faux bouquet 

of late summer flowers on top of my old kitchen scale.

more antique crockery...

I have a bunch of old wooden and paper mache trays that are in seasonal colors.

I'm still using the summery floral one here on the first shelf.

Some of my English Cottage kitchen pieces are in here, too.

One of my little chalk chickens is nesting

in a collapsible vintage metal egg basket.

 I've mentioned before that I can be a bit messy in some things,

and by the looks of the bottom shelf my cookbooks need a little "straighten-up".

Hope you'll come by Monday evening.
