Mr Rabbit Says "Let Me In"

I am joining Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for her Spring Cloche Party , How Sweet The Sound for Pink Saturday.   and Faded Charm for White Wednesday.
     I would like to introduce you to Mr and Mrs Rabbit. They are not getting along right now and she will not let him into the cloche with her. I think he did not bring any carrots home for dinner so she is a little bit annoyed with him. Hope they make up before the mating season or we might not see any little bunnies running around.

     I love this pair of rabbits. They each have a Napcoware Import Japan sticker on them. They came in the large egg. Not sure if that is Napcoware.  Such detail to their faces. I love how the egg is decorated with flowers. I have them placed in my largest cloche which is 13" tall.
     On Monday I will be having my first give a way for having reached 100 followers. I will give details on Mondays Blue Monday post. Visit my 100 follower give a way HERE.
     Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out all the other cloches At Marty's

By the Sea By the Sea By the Beautiful Sea!!!

     Sorry about the title, but that song popped into my head when I was placing the old seaside photo's in my coral and I cannot get it out of my head.
     I love seashells and I really love coral. I did not realize how much I had until I started gathering it together for this blog post. I love the different textures and colors of shells and coral. Each piece is different just like our fingerprints. It amazes me when I think that with all the people in the world no 2 peoples prints are the same. Well it is the same with shells, no two are exactly alike. I am mostly attracted to ones that are different shades of white. I also like old black and white photo's with beach themes.  Especially when they are of vintage swimsuits.

Cobalt Painted Stoneware

 

I am linking this post to Smiling Sally for Blue Monday.   A Stroll Thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday. In the 1980's I subscribed to a magazine called Early American Life.  There was an add in it about this reproduction of antique stoneware made by the Wisconsin pottery in Columbus Wisconsin. You could join to receive one piece every 6 weeks for I beleive the price was $19.99 each 6 weeks. You never knew what pieces you were getting til they arrived.  All pieces are dated and mine are from 1988-1990. I do not know exactly how many pieces I have, but have shown most. I have a few other pieces scattered here and there, but these are pieces that are clusted together. The first picture are different shape and design jugs and pitchers.

      The next picture is a large crock with a blue painted flower and leaf design. I have only used that for flowers once in a while. The Grandma's Dessert Mold is an antique and belonged to my Grandmother. The second are all covered pieces that I keep sugar, tea and the large one has my flour.  Next is my beverage center where I put my coffee or tea together in the morng. The large container with the deer is a beverage container with spigot. Love this piece. The mug in this picture was not part of the collection.  The next picture has my mixing bowls, baking crocks and inside one is a pottery colander.  When I was collecting these I thought what in the world I am thinking. But after many years I really appreciate them and use them every day.    Thanks for stopping by to see my repro stoneware.  ~~Sherry~~

God's Thoughts

Antique Cinnamon Box Treasure

     It is really tooooo cold for yardsales, but the first one of the season in 40 degree weather with wind blowing, I roughed it anyway. I am truly glad I did.
     First thing I spotted was this little maple desk or dressing table. Someone had tried refinishing it, but I am going to paint it white and distress it a bit. For $5.00 I could not leave it.
     My treasure was the antique finger jointed cinnamon box with great graphics and slide top. The gentleman selling it said that his father worked in a store in New jersey and when it closed his father kept this box. It is a treasure and I cannot find any information on cinnamon boxes of this type anywhere online or in any of the books I have. Any information someone could furnish would be greatly appreciated. At $5.00 I knew I could not go wrong.
     I also got the twisted stem ruby candleholders for $1.00 each. A damascene bracelet for $2.00, an elf riding some kind of animal made in occupied Japan for $2.00 and the silver planter for $1.00. Not a bad haul for $17.00.

I can't forget Boogieboard Cottage for Masterpiece Monday! And Costal Charms Nifty Thrifty Tuesday . Also Colorado Lady for Vintage Thingie Thursday.

Mother Nature Says Spring Is On The Way!!!

                                                                                                           Mother Nature has arrived letting us know that Spring is on it's way. She is adorned with budding branches where the birds gathering either feathering their nests or perching on limbs looking for their mate for the season.

You can also see the crickets and frogs coming out to gather a bit of warmth from the sunshine. Moss covered limbs and emerging shelf tree fungus are also adorning the trunks of trees.

So do not fear signs of spring are in the air and Mother Nature stands with her slight smile to say WELCOME and ENJOY!!!
