~~Prim display~~

Happy Monday to you all...
I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing weekend..
I spent the weekend doing fun things...Saturday we went Antiquing..I didn't find anything I wanted..Allot of things I seen but wouldn't use in my home...
The prices were outrageous on small items...things that weren't worth half the price they were asking..

I did put together a prim display for on top of my new cupboard that my son bought me..

Just something simple..not to overpowering..
I set it back in the corner beside the big screen TV for now..that way I can set and look at it while I'm watching TV in the evenings..
That does sound ridiculous doesn't it...But I believe in enjoying the simple things in life...

So I thought I would share of few pictures of my new prim display...

Thanks for stopping in for a visit...Come back when you get time...Have a great day..

New cupboard...early Mother's Day present...

Hello everyone..
I hope this post finds everyone in good spirits..The weekend is almost here...time to get some down time..at this Olde Homestead.anyway..

I've had a busy week trying to get things crossed off my to do list...
It just seems the more I get accomplished ...the more I seem to add to the end of my to do list....
Never done...Never ending....

That brings me to this post...A brand new cupboard arrived at the Olde Homestead today earlier than expected...Making more work...
You see I've been eyeing up this nice Barn Red Cupboard at a shop that I frequently visit..
It sat along side a really nice six panel Pie Safe that caught my eye right after Christmas..
I thought I would wait until warmer weather to pick it up but low and behold
 my son bought me the Barn Red Cupboard for a early Mother's Day present...
He always surprises me this way...just out of the blue he'll go and buy me something that I really don't need but really really want...you all know how that is...
When he went to get the Pie Safe it was already sold so he brought home the Cupboard instead...

Believe me I was not disappointed at all..I was just thrilled to have either one of them...
So here's a few pictures of my new cupboard setting in the Family room...ready to be decorated...

It's done with a Black paint for an undercoat then Barn Red as the overcoat...

The Amish man that built this beauty done an magnificent job..Great craftsmanship..

Now the fun begins trying to decide how to decorate it..

Keeping the doors shut and use it for storage or open one or both doors

and decorate all four shelves with some of my treasures...

Decisions..Decisions...Decisions...

But great Decisions...

So thanks for stopping in to look at my new Cupboard...

Come back when you can stay longer...

Everyone have a safe and wonderful weekend..

Prim hugs,

Stepback cupboard...Jugs/Crocks

Happy Saturday everyone..
So much for the spring like weather we had practically all week..
Back to the 40's and wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour..

So I done some changing and rearranging today on my step back cupboard that I have in our Family room..
Grouped all my brown crocks together with the large and small matching jugs..
Other that setting two bobbins on the top shelf I didn't add anything else ..
Simple but pleasing to the eye..

Thanks for stopping in for a visit..

Come back when you can stay longer...

Have a great weekend everyone..

~~Easter decor~~

Hello everyone...

I hope all is well with all you prim friends this beautiful spring like day..
Its been in the mid 60's practically all week here..
Beautiful sunshine..a cool breeze...I couldn't ask for a more glorious day..

I've been slowly getting some of my Easter decor out and about at the Olde Homestead...
I found homes for the Easter pillows that I made and thought I would share some
pictures...
This is my tabletop display...I made the wax bunny and took plastic eggs and tore strips of homespun material and decoupaged them on...

Easter pillow on my make do chair...

On my deacons bench...

On my Windsor Rocker...

That will be just about it for today..

I want to get outside to enjoy this beautiful weather while we have it...

I'm setting here with the windows open listening to the birds chirping..

Such beautiful music to my ears...

Thanks for stopping in for a visit....

Come back when you get time..

Have a wonderful day ..

Prim hugs,
