Corner Hutch

Do you like white stoneware??? I do! My collection is growing...like overnight. This collection started with a few pieces...a few white ceramic pieces. Some porcelain pitchers and a tall white coffee pot. Then I hit the JaCkPoT a few weeks ago. At one Thrift Shop was a tabletop of white glazed pieces. This made me smile. The prices were right.

Recently, I cleared out a corner hutch that sits in a cubby area off the Family Room. This area is beside a door that leads to the cellar. I filled it with my white collection. Originally the Family Room was the 1885 Diningroom. I have kicked this around til it hurt. I wanted to turn the Family Room back into a Formal Diningroom, but I love having a Formal Parlour and I don't wanna turn it into a casual room nor have a Family Room Upstairs soooooooo the Diningroom that is in the newer part of the house built in 1901 will stay a Diningroom and this Family Room will stay a Fam Room.

The Corner Hutch was in the upstairs Nursery when we bought this house. Saw a picture of the cubby with the Hutch in it and thought it otta return to the cubby. Like it here!

Now I know this isn't white, but thought the PINK was sweet! God Bless and may you have a wonderful day,

PS The things I bring home usually come home in a BAG.

I pray that the LORD help me decorate and doll this place up.

Welcome to my Old House! Please come in. We bought this place about three years ago and she's been morphing for about 125 years. We continue to tweak her here and there. Still giving her lots of thought as to what to do next. She's the oldest house I have ever lived in and she sits in the smallest town I have ever lived in. She's a diamond in the rough...needing some lipstick, rouge and elbow grease...lots of patience and creative thinking with good intentions needed.

Want to see some of the features that I enjoy about this old 125 year old house? Here are a few...I'll start with the stairs that lead upstairs. So sorry for being blurry. If I get some better pictures I might try this again.

Oak, Maple and Fir.

Rather rough and somewhat primitive.

Kind of like some people I know!!!

Hope you have fun today.

Thank you for stopping by.

SpRiNg Cleaning and Standing On My Head

Been SpRiNg ClEaNiNg!!! It's a work out.

Spring Cleaning CONTINUES and look what I found up in the spare room...a couple of my dolls that I made way back when. I boxed them up 3 years ago when we were moving out of the Farm House we rented and moved into our old stone house that's in an itty bitty prairie town.

I practically stood on my head to get this plastic box out of the SpArE rOoM JUNGLE. There was a great sense of satisfaction when I unwrapped my doll and displayed her in the oak china cabinet that's in my family room. The dishes that were in it are now getting boxed up until the kitchen is completed with cabinets that will hold them. The other doll sits up on top of the same cabinet.

It's like morph city around here. Things are continually moving from here to there to there again. Oh well...it keeps us in motion and we're getting our exercise. Alot of times it's like hide and seek around here. Keeps it interesting.

Do you collect dolls or have one? I'm glad to have these dollies out of their boxes and displayed about our home.

Sweet day to you,

LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS

'What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms;

What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms;

Leaning, leaning,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.'

Today as we sat enjoying a leisurely Sunday afternoon, this song

by Elisha A. Hoffman/Anthony J. Showalter came to mind.

Beloved, This season of life that I'm going through is like none other. I have to lean on the LORD like never before. I have to AND WANT TO.

Music has a way of lifting my Spirits. Amen and Amen.

May you have a sweet day...may you have a sweet LIFE.

I love you and cherish our blogging friendship.
