Oilcloth Options

I just love oilcloth; and since I have been selling it in my Etsy shop, it has been fun being able to have a variety to work with right here at home.  As a tablecloth, its cheerfulness just can't help but bring a smile to my face as we sit down to a meal.  I have plans to line all of my kitchen cabinets with it.  Won't that be fun to see a bit of brightness each time someone reaches into the cupboard for a glass or a plate.  But recently I decided there was another area of my kitchen that needed a bit of brightness.  You see, I have a very small kitchen with few cupboards, so a lot of my dishes I have sitting out on a shelf.  Recently I decided that lining the shelves with oilcloth just might make for creating a cheery spot.  So I looked through my oilcloth supply, and landed on the red with white polka dots.  Cheeriness achieved.

Watering Can Bouquet

We have a Mary Janes Farm store in town; and on a recent visit there, my daughters saw this cute watering can, and knew it was the perfect gift for me. I just love it; and also loved my daughters' idea of filling a large canning jar with water and flowers and slipping it inside the watering can to use as a vase. Perfect.

Vintage Decals

This morning I discovered a website that sells vintage decals. In glancing through it, I saw some really cute decals. Since vintage decorating is so popular right now, I thought that I should share the link. It is called Sweet Gal Decals. (If this link doesn't work, try just going to sweetgaldecals.com.) Here is just a sample of one of their many, many choices. Is this cute, or what!


I discovered this site after stumbling upon The Vintage Mommy blog. She has a category on her blog entitled Vintage Thursdays. The wheels are turning in my head as to how I could use some of these decals. They have great possibilities.
