Some Fall

Fall has arrived here at the brick cottage! Sorry for such bad pics but still have not bought a new camera and the old one is all I have to use. This is dining room area off kitchen.
                                        
Have blue bird up over old green pie safe! She is so pretty up there!                                                 
                                                                                    
May end up leaving her up there for a bit. Works so well with the old pie safe and ironstone.
Those are some old feed sacks that Aunt Dot gave me hanging on the side hanger.

DH's Granny Belle's side board all done up. I did a runner from Bonnie Hunter's Roll  Roll Cotton Boll  quilt pattern, though you can not see if very well.
Ironstone soup tureens. Plates and platters on wall. Mirror was Ms. Nellie's, my MIL.

It is really not that tight in here but best pics I could get for table.

Centerpiece is an old country store box from Hormel! Used old burlap bag , canning jars , candles and silks and drieds. Inspired by my DIL and some pics on Pinterest!


Alice gave me those white leaf plates and the turkey transfer ware bowl. I have a few other pieces to go with it now. The gold nesting hen is old and the glasses my Daddy gave me in 1972! Have loads of them he collected. They came out of Suds Laundry Washing Soap! 

Stacks of old quilts here and there along with other vintage or antique things.
We are just down home country folks here.
Almost everything we have has meaning to us in some special way!

Thanks for coming by!
Have a grand weekend!!!

  4. Seriously Lola, you should conduct tours of your home and charge a penny or too. It always looks so beautifully decorated for the different seasons.
