New do for an old pie hutch

Every few months I like to give my very old pie hutch a new do!

And she was way overdo for a new do.

She is my first ever antique.

I bought her almost 30 years ago for only $100.

She is a bit battered and bruised but I still love her all the same.

Since I live in Applestone Cottage I decided to have a bit of an apple theme this go around.

Apples, rooster, some spring chicks, a picnic basket from GW. And of course a little white stoneware and my old coffee grinder to boot.

Sorry for the sun glare here.

I am just so happy to see any sun after such a dreary March.

We have had to stop filling the bird feeders around here.

Poor little red headed woodpecker looking for a bite to eat.

But the bears have come out of hibernation and they are very drawn to bird feeders this time of year.

And the snow is melting but ever so slowly I must say.

Yesterday Addison and Grandpa built a mini slushy snow girl.

Oh gosh I love her!

She is so sick of being cooped up and she just had a ball playing outside with Grandpa yesterday.

My Mom actually has daffodils coming up next to the melting snow.

Take care my friends and have a great week!

I'm hooked on vintage chenille!!

Right now I have a new love and it's vintage chenille bedspreads and quilts.

I've spent countless hours on E-Bay looking at them, bidding on them and kind of sorta realizing that a lot of them are bidding out pretty darn high.

I wanted one for the room we call Addison's room.

Previously known as my daughter Katie's room.

Or as Addison would say in her cute little 2 year old voice, "it's mine now". hehe.

 As you can see here, I thought it would look kind of cool to have the sun streaming in.  But instead it kind of made it a little harder to get a good picture.

So i kept looking and looking and bidding and being outbid and knowing I had to keep in my budget.

And finally score!

Starting bid was $15.00.

I bid and this time I got lucky.

Total cost $15.00 plus $10.00 shipping for a grand total of $25.00!!

And it's in excellent shape and just the color and style I was looking for.

And lately I've been eyeing one's for a Master bedroom.

The one I really loved went for $170.00 last week.

So I will keep looking and who knows...

I might get lucky again!

So there you have it, my new found love,vintage chenille!

Thanks for coming by,

Cindy
