Hello everyone,
I hope your week is going well.
We have been busy with projects here
so time seems to be flying by.
However, I always enjoy a cup
of tea for my break.
I enjoyed my tea in a pretty
aqua teacup today with a
touch of Easter vignette.
Yesterday was bread making day.
This week we are enjoying raisin
oatmeal bread.
little cottage and gave them a makeover.
Actually, I only got 2 done but will finish the
other 2 tomorrow. I liked the idea of stacking chairs
as a space saver for a small space but wanted them to look
prettier so I painted them white and then added the blue stripes with a number on the back to give them a
for her bedroom but they all seemed
expensive to me so when I was at a
local thrift shop I saw this footstool
that I thought I could over for her and
as luck would have it I had picked up the
perfect white furry fabric there a couple
of weeks ago so I got out my sewing
machine and covered it for her. I think
it makes a pretty cute pouf for less then
$7 dollars. I am sure she will be happy with
it and maybe her sister will be putting in an
order for one too!
yesterday as well for a more
spring like look in our family
room. They are made from
nice fabric that also came from
a thrift shop.
I couldn't resist these cute blue and
white bunny plates for Easter.
I have been enjoying getting
some projects done for the past
several weeks but won't mind at all
when they are done and we can move
on to gardening!
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn

Oh, Carolyn - what a sweet and charming post!
I love your pretty china - and your bread looks delish....
and what a GREAT JOB you did with painting those wooden chairs and reupholstering that pouf! well done, ma'am!! : - )
Cute Easter. Your bread sounds and looks delicious, yum! I just love your stacking chair makeover, so pretty! I'm really impressed with the fabric you got at thrifts, wow! I guess I just never look all around. I have never seen fabric there. I need to be more observant for sure so thanks for the tip.
Have a wonderful week~
So much to love in this post... those stacking chairs are the best, and the bunny plates are adorable. Hope you get out into the garden soon!
Carolyn, your tea time looks relaxing.
I'd say you found some great deals, and your redo projects are stellar.
Oh Carolyn,
It's been forever sense my visit here to you....I discovered you Yeats ago with you featuring your sweet cottage out back and I just right then wanted to move in. So nice to have a visit from you, and to then return to see you too have a thing here for saving a dime or two in a great thrift find is right up there with me as well. In your visit I have to tell you the FRENCH Chest it was a thrift find, more then I pay for a thrift piece but I could resist its shape and sizable slim drawers. The best part was I didn't pay over $50.00 for it and a good sanding off of the old dark stain and a paint finish of white then it fit right in.
Your puff is a fabulous idea and turned out adorable. Love the chairs and they are so fitting with your cottage style. All your creativeness calls for tea time and what better way to enjoy a cup of tea and baked goods relaxing over the beauty you create here.
See you soon dear, now I am going back to catch up on your older postings.
Keep inspiring, a beautifully creative spring to you.
Xx
