Vintage Inspiration Friday #30: "Cloche" at Hand

A few weeks ago, after visiting

 Leola's Vintage Home and Garden's Spring Open house

I was filled with all sorts of inspiration for Spring.

One of my favorite spaces was created by Judy, one of the owners.

I spent so much time ooohing and aaahing over her moss covered garden and cloches.

Anything "Vintage Garden" always stops me in my tracks!

I've not tried African Violets before,

but I couldn't resist this little punch of color for one of my cloches.

Tiered cake plates covered in faux moss are the base for this Springtime tribute.

The milk glass one on the bottom was my mom's.

And I brought out my nativity lambs in honor of Easter.

These pics were taken while I was waiting for the paint to dry

 on my Eastlake dresser in the entry hall.

Sorry for the glare of the glass,

 I tried these in several spots, just couldn't get away from the glare.

 Here's Judy's space again,

She found these delicate ferns and moss on her gorgeous country property.

Oh how I love these chippy white shutters!

Thank you Judy, for some wonderful Spring time ideas!

I really appreciate each one of you that links up for the Party!

You all make it so hard to choose just four to feature.

I love seeing all your great vintage inspiration,

so remember, anything vintage or "vintage inspired".

Here's some great inspiration from last week:

If you've been featured please grab the "featured" button,

and I'd love for you to show the VIF button on your sidebar or post.

I always try to take the time to show off all the great parties,

people are much more apt to visit if the cute button is there.

So if you have time, come by and visit these other great parties that I'm linking to!

Hopefully, I'm finishing up the Laundry Room this weekend.

Actually, it turned out better than I thought.

"The Reveal" (lol!!), next week!

Have a great weekend

lots of love,

My ADD Weekend

Seems like there's a lot going on around here.

Painted and cleaned the laundry/kitty room.

Appliances that were finally delivered and installed last Friday,

Great new washer and dryer that sound like alien spacecraft are landing.

(the cats are spooked and peek around the corner)

and a new dishwasher that only made it through one cycle before it broke.

arrrrrrgh...

So I can't finish my painting in the laundry until the new dishwasher appears.

But hey, I'm sharing my Birthday pillow from my sweet sis.

She recently bought a Silhouette machine

and has been creating to her heart's content.

I was able to choose my design, so I went with my initials.

LOVE the burlap, and so do the kitties.

She also made the darling little fabric flower that's attached.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!

And then as part of the laundry room re-do,

 I wanted someplace to hide the multiple bags of cat food,

and other sundry cat supplies.

So we found this great box/trunk thingy with rope handles.

But the selling point was that it has bird decals on it.

It was super duper brown and homely,

so I gave it a little whitewash,

keeping the bird decals showing.

(not perfect, but better than it was)

AND THEN...

(oh yes, you know I love me some birdies!)

I had wanted to do another bird window,

so this one is backed by vintage sheet music.

I did another one on vintage magazine paper,

but I forgot to snap a photo before I took it to Relics.

Lets see...I'm painting my Eastlake dresser in the entry hall white.

Putting up new curtains,

 and needing to make a run for some white faux wood shades

 for the laundy room.

Not to mention doing dishes...lots of dishes.

I'm linking up with these great parties:

 

catch ya on Thursday for

 Vintage Inspiration Friday!

love ya,

Debra
