The Country Home, Country Sampler, pictures, pictures and more pictures!

Just a quick post today that is mostly pictures.
The Country Home and the May issue of Country Sampler, both came in the mail today! What a treat! I have to tell you the article on Taylors Farmhouse Attic is awesome! She has such a beautiful home. And also, we got a few new pieces in the store yesterday and I couldn't wait to change out a couple displays. I hope you enjoy the pictures and have a safe and happy weekend: )

We've had a busy day here at the store but with a fresh set of batteries in the camera I was finally able to take a few more pictures of some of my favorite things. I think the salt glazed crocks speak for themselves, luv, luv them! I like the stacking boxes because you can hide a lot of clutter in them. It's hard to tell by the picture but the cabinet is sage green over white and a bit distressed, and again, I luv, luv this piece and firmly believe it needs to come home with me. I have the perfect spot for it. I love the old phone but man, have we ever came a long way. And yes, as you can see more crocks. What can I say, I'm loving the crocks right now, not sure what it is about the small preserves crock but I look at it every day. I like the jug because of the light brown color, it's very similar to the one I bought last week. The bunny/chick arrow replacement is simply cute, puts me in the mood for spring. Though I don't own any (yet) I love tins and scales of all types. So, I'm sure you can imagine that SOMETHING in this weeks posts will somehow follow me home. Be sure to check back, Linda and Melissa are going antiquing tomorrow and I've already given them my wish list.
Till next time-

Happy St. Patrick's day!


Today I thought I would post a few pictures of some of my favorite displays. I love this front table grouping with the new gathered swags. The old shelf is full of antique tins, slicers, cutting boards, rolling pins and jars full of cookie cutters and potpourri. I really love the americana box that Melissa decorated. And last but certainly not least a table top full of prim items. I was working on some shots of some of my favorite things here in the store that I hope follow me home someday but the batteries in the camera died so I'll have to finish those tomorrow. So be sure to check back for more eye candy.
Thanks to all,
Kimberly
