Kitchen Shelves

I love a little bit of whimsy in my house...and color too!

Here's a peek at a few things decorating my kitchen shelves.  Fake flowers, pencil sharpeners disguised as mushrooms, a button bouquet, and bowls that shall remain empty and cute!

They each make me happy ~ just by looking at them.  So happy, that I don't even mind dusting them!!

 

The Kitchen Window

About four months ago I posted about a new window treatment on my kitchen window...you can see it here.  I loved the look of the towel and napkins...but Bill really didn't.  Something about not being able to see out the window...silly guy!  Yesterday I replaced them with a new valance from Country Curtains.  

I love this look too!  In fact I think I like it better than the towel and napkins...but don't tell Bill!

 In addition to a new window treament, the kitchen window also got a  couple new accessories.  My friend Patricia made this adorable tower of pots for me, and she painted them in my very favorite color combination...yellow, blue, red and green!

She also felted this wonderful little bluebird...it's absolutely the sweetest little thing!!

Another friend....Tisha....gifted me with this pretty shell full of succulents.  She told me the name of the plant.  But, of course, I don't remember.  What I will remember is two dear friends everytime I'm near this window!

Vintage Kitchen Utensils

What a great assortment of colors. 

I think the kitchen that these lived in must have been a happy one!

Bless my kitchen, Lord,

and those who gather there each day.

Let it be a place where we can meet

to laugh and love and pray.
