Show and Tell Friday: Lambs

This is my first time to be a part of
Show and Tell Friday.

Cindy at My Romantic Home is our gracious hostess.

With Easter almost here, I thought I would share

a few of my lamb prints and paintings.

I've been collecting for the last seven years.

Some are old, some are new

but all are well loved , and part of my collection.

I think this would have to be my favorite,
love the sweet message of it.

These can be found all around the house,
so I've brought a few of them
 to where the lighting is better.

This painting is in the Living Room,
an Anniversary gift from my husband
a few years ago.

Part of a set of pastoral prints

that were a Christmas gift.

Another very old oval print in

it's original metal frame.

A print of one of William Bouguereau's
famous Madonna and child paintings.

Vintage Western Landscape

This is a Christmas postcard

from the early 1900's.

This is probably the oldest print that I have of sheep.

Love the Country French scene.

(please excuse the glare.)

Another favorite

I also collect vintage Religious images.
This is one of my favorites, with lambs.

Thank you Cindy, at My Romantic Home.

I also am linking up last minute with Laurie,

from Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie,

for her My Favorite Things Saturday.

If you're new to my blog,

I'd love to have you leave a comment

so I can come back and say Hello.

I also have an open Bible Study blog,

please come by for a visit.

Hope you're having a wonderful week before

Easter!

hugs and blessings,

Debra

White Wednesday; Spring in the Kitchen

Bunnies, chicks, and ducks oh my,

there seem to be a few of them in my kitchen.

I found this vintage Easter

 postcard print a couple of years ago

and framed it with a shabby little frame.

With the warmer weather I've opened the doors

to the sunroom and the kitties and I are enjoying

having our space back.

Don't tell them, they think it's "outside".

I found a few white things

on my flea market rounds recently and somehow

they've just landed in my kitchen.

Ever have that happen to you?

On their way to the antique mall booth...

but they just don't actually "get there"?

This old ironstone bowl, chips and all,

just needed to stay home with me.

Love those cracks and crazing.

Some napkins with a hint of spring color.

And an old concrete duckling waddled by...

I've never met a sugar bowl 

that I didn't fall in love with!
(even without the lid)

And my ironstone Homer Laughlin pitcher.

Bunn-bunn joins in the fun, too.

A few weeks ago at a city wide sale,

I found this little white cookbook holder.

Don't know what it's supposed to be,

or "used to be",

 but for now, it's a "cookbook holder".

1930 Kelvinator Fridge companion cookbook.

Everyone has room for a "Kelvinator"...

Don't ya just love these graphics?

An iron bird and a vintage bluebird tea towel

just say Spring.

Thank you Kathleen at Faded Charm!

Now go see what everyone else

is up to for White Wednesday.

Hope you're having a wonderful week!

Easter
 is just a week and a half away!

love,

Debra

I've been "nesting"...

In the Spring I'm all about birds

and nests,

and garden-y things.

I found this little birdie in the twigs

 at a local floral supply company.

So today I played a little and made some nests,

for Easter gifts

and for my new space at Spring Creek.

These are just a few,

I sort of went "bird brain" making them.

(I'm a messy crafter!)

 

I always want to fill up any kind of "container".

An old ironstone berry bowl...

or dainty creamer...

(oh shoot, I'm a sucker for fuzzy chicks)

or my ironstone kitchen pitcher.

Hope you're having a sweet weekend,
full of fun and things of Spring.

We just missed a snowstorm,
it's heading for Kansas City...
sorry y'all.

love ya,
Debra

New Space at Spring Creek

It's finally here!

I moved in to my new space at

Spring Creek Antiques and Tea Room

in Ozark, Missouri

this week.

I had a little anxiety over posting these photos.

There are so many fabulous

and talented people out here.

A little intimidation, to say the least.

I began to wonder what had gotten in to me

to even talk about it...

Excitement I guess.

One thing I have learned in this last year

 of blogging is that we are all different...

And that's a good thing.

(at least I keep telling myself that)

So here are my humble offerings,

a lot cottage and a little shabby,

but hopefully something fun for everyone.

Just in time for Spring!

love,

Debra
