Farmhouse Inspiration ~ Egg Baskets and Holders

Since the Easter Bunny is on his way I thought it would be fitting to make this Farmhouse Inspiration post all about egg baskets and holders. Whether they are truly old or reproduction they are one of my favorite things to collect! Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are leaving inspired!!

Weekly Inspiration ~ Our Farmhouse Kitchen

Hello and welcome to my weekly inspiration post! This weeks inspiration is our farmhouse kitchen...it is just about the only room in our house right now that doesn't have stuff for the Springfield Show piled to the ceiling in it. You literally can't even walk through our dining room right now...makes me a bit nutty....if anyone that didn't know me stopped here they would think I was a full blown hoarder (actually I wouldn't even be able to open the front door)...good thing the show is next week!

The rest of our house may look like a bomb went off but at the end of the day I always have to have a clean and neat kitchen.

Other than keeping a clean and organized kitchen I also strive to make ours welcoming and cozy. I like to do that with lots of white mixed with warm rustic wood tones. We absolutely love the big farm table that Neal built us and it is the perfect size for homework, my sewing projects, dozens of cookies being decorated, board games, lego building, or whatever else we may have going on on any given day.

Lots of beautiful linens, crocks filled with old rolling pins and old wooden spoons and big cutting boards are also a must in our farmhouse kitchen. I cook and bake A LOT so I like the things I use to be right on hand.

My newest little relish jar is actually what inspired this post. I have quite a few of these and I just love them and this one was begging to be photographed.

Well I hope that I am going to be seeing some of you next week at the Springfield Extravaganza!! I absolutely can not wait!! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this weeks inspiration!!

Happy Spring

Happy first day of spring! It is still very cold and snowy here but those warmer temperatures are just around the corner and I can't wait to start working outside again. In the meantime I have been trying to add some spring to the inside of the house with a light fresh feel.

This time of year with all of the holidays, birthdays and family get togethers means lots of baking for me.

I love this old masher with it's original white paint that my mom recently gave me.

 Here is a little peek at a dry sink I recently found at the Goodwill for $30 and gave a much needed makeover. I will do a post all about it soon, but in the meantime I couldn't help photographing it!

I am especially excited to put some potted plants on the front porch this being the first year that it is worthy of some. I just bought some big galvanized metal tubs that I think will be perfect for all of  my ivy that is longing to be planted.

 I am finishing up the dining room blog post and also this weeks inspiration post! Until next time friends and happy spring!
