We had such a taste of spring here yesterday. Well, maybe more like summer. The high temp was 86! But only 56 today, crazy weather.
It was awfully windy, but I still managed to finish a couple of painting projects out in the back yard. Nothing like getting your projects done while also working on a pre-summer tan :)
So while I am pulling together a top-secret project this week, I thought I would share our kitchen shelves, all perked up for spring.
Cracks me up that this milk glass hen weighs exactly one pound.
I had ordered two of them from Cotton and Copper on Etsy, and found a third in Canton last month. It was $5.50, can you imagine? BUT! It was half price day at that booth, so she only set me back $2.75. I had to ask twice, to make sure I was hearing correctly.
And I never thought I would see the day when I had enough milk glass compotes to actually stack them. Thanks to repeated trips to my new favorite little thrift shop, my collection is growing by leaps and bounds.
Back to the secret project for me :) Thanks for coming by!

Very pretty and Springy, Andrea! I envy you your wonderful weather, especially with a snow storm set to hit here later today. Not looking forward to that, but it is supposed to go up to the 50's in a couple of days. That will be something to look forward to!

We've been out of town and now I'm ready to welcome spring. :)

Oh, your shelves are so petty! What great style you have and I'm sure you love decorating these shelves. I have some chickies like yours. I just love them. You have a delightful scale too!
Be a sweetie,

Your shelves look so pretty!! Love your milk glass collection. I really like your frame rabbit picture...so cute! Wish we had warm weather here, but no such luck...we are under a winter storm warning and are expecting 5 to 8 inches of snow over night.

Hi Andrea, what a difference in the temps. Your shelves are just beautiful. Would brighten up anyone's spirits with the pretty colors. Your milk glass supply is growing and so pretty. Dumb me threw out a couple of those chickens way back when before they were thought of as 'really' collectables..Happy Wednesday..Judy

HI Andrea, always look forward to your shelves and the seasonal changes. Your blog is beautiful, loved your pillowcases too. Very inspiring. I'm on a sewing kick too!
Have a blessed week.

I love the contrast of the milk glass against the vibrant colors of the other pieces!

So springy and pretty! I really like milkglass. I have a bunch of the little vases and a few hens but no compotes. I love how you stacked them!

Sure is starting to look like Spring in your kitchen! I've always loved milk glass and the way you've contrasted with the colorful fruit and flowers is quite catchy. I'm really looking forward to seeing what your top secret project is!

I absolutely love this display. This is milk glass done right.

I love this! Your little stack of compotes is gorgeous, and your little white hens just adorable. I recently purchased my first one---she's TINY. :)
Came over from Brenda's blog. LOVED the post you did there.
Happy Spring!
