It's A Cupboard Party!

This is my kind of party ~

A Cupboard Party!

Here is a glimpse of my blue antique hutch in the kitchen

filled with tea pots and cups, gravy boats and tole trays

and ...

Favorite little treasures.

Here is my open cupboard over the stove filled with plates

and bowls of all sizes with stainless and copper pots

hanging beneath. See that black stove pipe? It's from back

when there was a wood burning cook stove in the kitchen

years ago. I love it!

Here is a cupboard in the dining room. It's my hutch holding some

of my blue willow china.

David and I bought this while we lived in

Virginia. It was hand made by an Amish craftsman.

This is really a little shelf ~ but let's call it a cupboard filled with

treasured childhood books and toys.

Here's my little spice cupboard because we all need

a little spice in our lives!

Here is my little sewing cupboard. It's filled with bits of fabric

for quilts or sewing projects. It's out on the back porch where

the laundry and pantry are too.

Here is my quilt cupboard on the back porch. It's filled with some

extra quilts because in our cottage we think that there

are never too many quilts.

And here is a favorite vintage miniature cupboard

just because it's cute!

Thanks for coming to visit us!

Heart of The Home and a Winner!

Welcome to my kitchen ~ it is indeed the heart of our home.

My kitchen is not modern. It's homey and cozy, but it means business. I have a professional stove, and lots of pots, pans, and utensils at the ready. Form comes first and style follows.

Spices and herbs are readily available.

Dishes are stored in open shelves to make it easy and accessible to "plate" a dish.

There are stainless and copper pots and pans ready to be used.

There are aprons ready to grab and baskets filled with potatoes, onions and garlic.

There is a beamed ceiling and painted cabinets. There are baskets and collections of pottery.

There is an old hutch filled with loved pieces of pottery, tole, miniatures and Beatrix Potter figurines. It's the cozy and comfy heart of our home, filled with things we love, and things that work for us. Thank you for visiting! Please visit Sheila at Note Songs for her Heart of the Home Party and Sue at It's a Very Cherry World for Rednesday.
