New Kitchen Display


I recent thrift store find inspired a change-up on the small shelf I have hanging in the kitchen.


The space had been looking a little lonely of late.  

I wanted something calming and simple.


Take a look at these beauties!!!

I've been on the look out for a pair for years and this is the first set I've come across in reasonable condition in my price range.  I'm pretty sure they are silver plated but I just can't bring myself to care - besides it's the look I'm going for - could care less if it's the real deal or a wonderful fake.  

I adore these footed, swirled, fluted, sparkling beauties.


Pretty sure I'm in love!


Speaking of love,
 the first of my Valentine decor has found the perfect place to hang out. 
 I adore vintage Valentine card  - - wish I had more.


Oh!  Did you notice the baby clothes pins?  
Adorable right.

  I just picked them up the other day and I'm fascinated by them.  I'm loving them unfinished but I'm thinking it would be fun to paint a few in pretty colors or add scrapbook paper to them.

What would you do? 
 Leave them alone or pretty them up?

  1. This is such a pretty display. I love your salt and pepper shakers. Silver plated or sterling silver they are great! Love the chicken wire frame! Adorable!!

  2. They are so pretty, I'm like you I could care less about the real deal as long as it's the look I'm going for! Love salt and pepper shakers, although I only collect holiday ones!

  3. What a blast! Besides having a great grasp of perspective, what a great…grasp of perspective…such artists have to pour so much heart into something so ephemeral.

    Cheers!

  5. I like them au naturale, but I have seen some painted pink with glitter that I thought were pretty fancy. Your new salt and peppers are gorgeous. Love the patina on them (or whatever you call the aged silver look).

  12. Such a charming little display! Love the salt and pepper shakers. The clothespins are adorable. I think the clothespins look great natural but painted would be cute too. Maybe pink, blue, or green with a simple little dot pattern on them. So glad I saw this over at Elizabeth & Co. Sharon
