A Few More Treasures...

Sometimes I put things together and I'm not quite sure they work...this is one of those times, but I decided to post the pictures anyway. This display is on top of my computer hutch. This chair is one that I sat on as a small child when I went to Sunday School at the little community church my dear Mom and I attended (My dh, dd and I still attend this church). Our church was selling these chairs several years ago and I just had to have one of them (wish I would have bought a few more...they're really sweet). The birdhouse was a recent purchase from Goodwill, the basket was from a church sale, the small teacup and saucer belonged to a dear family friend, and the flower pot came from Wal-mart. The violet is an artificial plant picked up at Target several years ago on clearance. The picture in the background came from Home Interiors.

Gram's Recipe Cards

Here are a few pictures of a quick and easy project I completed over the weekend. I took several recipe cards that belonged to my dear Gram and put them in small picture frames. I mounted the recipe cards to gingham fabric that I already had. The frames, along with another pie pan, were hung on the wall behind my cooktop.

Thrift Store Finds

While out running a few errands I decided it was time to make a trip to our local Goodwill store. This is what I found: a Country Living book called Country Chic, the birdhouse and the cute little bunny. I managed to get all of these items for a little under $5.00!

I also picked up a plate hanger that I'm going to use for one of my dear Gram's pie pans plus two small burgandy colored picture frames for a few of my family's hand written recipe cards. I'm going to display these items over my cooktop...hopefully I can get this project completed over the weekend and get a picture taken to show all of you. Have a great weekend...thanks for stopping by.

Gram's Pie Pans

While browsing through my new issue of Country Home I spotted old pie pans displayed on a wall. It inspired me to get out my dear Gram's old pie pans. I haven't put them on the wall yet (I have three of them) but I decided to display them in my kitchen hutch. These pie pans have seen many pies in their day. They are a little bent out of shape and have deep grooves in them where the delicious slices of homemade pie were cut, but I love them no less...oh how I long for a piece of my Gram's wonderful apple pie. Unfortunately, I do not have her recipe for pie crust or pie filling...she wrote many recipes down but these must have been a secret!

A Few More Corners...

The first picture shows the top of a white storage cupboard in our upstairs hallway; two quilts - bottom one was a wedding gift from our maid of honor and best man, top quilt was made by my dear Gram, two green pots, and a fish bowl full of seashells.

The bottom picture shows three handkerchiefs that belonged to my dear Mom displayed with an oil lamp that was my dear Gram's.

I have to admit that I thought winter was behind us...I was wrong...here are a few pictures of the snow that visited us this past weekend.

This is what I saw when I looked out of my kitchen windows

Corner of my Home

Today's corner is in my kitchen. The first picture shows a beloved cookbook that belonged to my dear Mom, a vase of geranium cuttings and a bowl of branch balls. These items sit on top of the table that holds all of my Gooseberry Patch cookbooks (the shelf is between the legs of the table). The second picture shows two more cookbooks with a crock that belonged to my dear Gram. I store tea in this crock.
