One of my favorite things lately has been to fidget with the shelf in the dining part of my kitchen.
I showed you my clock make over. I had fun with that. I put it on the shelf
...with my St.Valentine's decorations.
I put some of my old dishes back on the shelf. These originally had belonged to my Great Grandmother on my Dad's side... they were handed down I guess you'd say. Now I have them. They look sort of pink here...but they are actually red.
The crocheted doily is one I picked up at Bargain Land quite a while ago.
I had intended to resell it ...however, one of my LITTLES (Bree) decided it made a wonderful princess hat...so when it's not on the shelf; she is usually wearing it on her head!
I also was playing around with book pages the other day; and I made this little banner for the shelf too.
I had bought the glitter in January for the grandson's birthday piñata. I didn't use it and was going to take it back along with some other things I had no use for...but decided to keep it. It wasn't long and this little project POPPED into my head!
I like using what I have to create something fresh and new!
It's a cheerful spot in my kitchen...
I've posted twice today--- so don't forget to check the previous post to see the winner for the HOMEMADE SOAP SUDS and Shower Scrubbie give away!

I'm falling in love with your banner! Simple and perfect.
I love that one of your babies wears the doily on her head! That's something I would have done. That makes me smile on a Sunday morning.
Thanks so much for joining in this week, my friend.

Your banner is darling and I really like the idea of how you incorporated dishes from your great grandmother! Perfect for Valentines Day Love!
How wonderful that you have your great-grandmother's dishes! Little kids seem to make hats and crowns out of the craziest things -- so cute that yours is using that pretty doily!
Love those dishes! Must be pretty old too. Very nice display!
I love the dishes... would love to see a close up of the design... could you do that and post... I have never seen that pattern. YOu home is just lovely and your shelf looks great!
So cute and festive! I love what you've done with it :)
