This Beverage Hostess is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!
I can see "Mismosas" in it now!! Or "Lemonade"!

**************************************

As most of you already know, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Mackenzie-Childs.
I have collected it since 1988, then started painting it for friends in 1991. I still collect and paint it today and never tire of it. Each piece is truly unique and sems to tell a story.
Today I am posting photos of MY FAVS! M-C has come out with some really nice products this year, and I have quite a few of them on my "wishlist". Tell me, what's on
YOUR "wishlist

And how cute are these new "Bird Tassles"?

Perfect to place anywhere in your home!

These adorable "Miniature Compotes" are the perfect vessel

to serve single servings in.

I see salads, strawberry shortcake and ice cream sundaes in these!

Oh, imagine the possibilities!

I think this new pattern will fit nicely in with my other "Taylor" pottery.

It's called "Hitchcock Field". I am not crazy about turquoise, but since

it has the black/white on it....I like it!

If you collect the Flower Market enamelware, you will want to

add a couple of these ute frames to your collection!

I mix and match the white with my CC enamelware

and the floral pattern really POPS!!

OH....and these are "MUST HAVES"!! If you entertain,

then these are a must!!! I have several of this type I have picked up

at Target, Marshalls and the like to place dips and chips in...friuts...cheeses...

and pretty much anything you can think of!

The perfect addition to your M-C collection!

This is the smaller version of the one above....too darn cute!

NOW ...ON TO THE FURNITURE!! FOLLW ME>>>>>

Cute "Pedestal Table". Perfect for your favorite plant

...perhaps an Orchid?

Love the new Courtly Check® and Stripe fabric!!

Hopefully, we'll be able to purchase yardage at some

point! Are you reading this CC?

*****************************

See the gorgeous Courtly Check® furniture below using the new ticking style

and Courtly Check® signature fabric! I am Loving it!

Perfect addition to your bird collection!

For the bird lover who has many a birdhouse in their yard!

Is this not the prettiest trellis you have seen?
I think it would look lovely greeting my guest at my front door!
Oh...Johhhnnn!!!

Metamorphosis Monday and a Settee

I found this cutie at a thrift shop. It was rusty and broken in some areas. Sorry, forgot to take before pics!

I cleaned and welded the rusty and broken areas, primed it, then gave it a nice shiny coat of red rustoleum paint! Isn't it just too cute? When time permits, I will make cushions for it for the seat and back. I think I have some vintage tablecloths that might work! Stay tuned!

I'm linking up to Susan of Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday Let's al go take a tour and see what the other ladies have been up to!

Have a Creative Day!
Linda

Where Are The Days Going?

Well, I thought I would be able to get to my blog daily...okay, well at least weekly. But there is so much to do and the days seem to be getting shorter and shorter.

I have been painting the inside of my house. Rich buttery walls with pure white trim. It looks so fresh and clean. I didn't take before pictures, as usual. I am always just diving into new projects and the camera is NEVER around. I also found two wonderful shabby pieces that will go perfectly in the dining area. See the pictures below. I am still working on filling the cabinet and playing around. It won't look the same tomorrow!

Now, my new project (in between all the house painting) is to remake and paint a console I found on Craigslist. Yesterday I took the drawers out (to be repurposed at a later date), removed the legs and gutted it. Today I will attempt to smooth out the carved wood in front. It doesn't work in the design I will be painting it in, so I'll have to redo it (it won't come off after many wacks with a hammer...hehehe).

So High ho high ho...it's off to work I go...yadda...yadda.yadda.

Ya'll have a great day!!
