Plain & Simple Farmhouse Vignettes

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Just when I thought we could settle down, checkerboard our kitchen floor,
spend some free time to finish the kitchen/keeping room,
Life Happened . . .

Not a bad life happening--

John was on a job with a contractor last week--into this one--so the floor is on hold until they finish. . .

And, it's not that I had nothing else to do--I'm just anxious to see how the floor will turn out. . .

I've dreamed of one for years now. . .

But, that's the way life goes around here.

I can wait a few more days. . . . 

It's off to other projects this week for me. . . .

while I wait. . . .

Cleared off the kitchen cabinet tops. . . .

and, played with a couple of vignettes. . . .

utilizing the vintage enamel pan,

ironstone and a bread board,

finishing with ironstone pitchers and 

an ironstone sugar bowl.

"Plain and Simple Farmhouse Style"
That's what I'm calling my style of decorating. . . .

I was on a roll. . . .

so, I did another. . . .

Can't decide which one I like the best.

The first one has a romantic flavor to it. . . .

The second is plain and simple. . . .

It probably needs some rosemary in the milk pitcher--
or fall leaves--

but I'm partial to it as it is.

I picked up the marmalade crock for 25 cents at a yard sale.

Can you believe it?

One of my favorite pieces.

I've collected the white pitchers for years.

Some are true ironstone. . . .

Some are stoneware. . . .

Some are ceramic. . . .

I'm planning to decorate for fall with mostly white, so while I had the white pitchers out, 

I placed several on the baker's cabinet--with a few white pumpkins. . . .

Now, I'm off to gather supplies to make a Corn Shuck Lady. . . .
I designed and crafted them years ago--ran across this one I made for my Mom--

 just a sneak peek. . . .
I'll be updating them with "whiter" clothing & accessories.
Be sure and watch for the tutorial later this week. . . .

Guess that's about it from The Farm today. . . .
Hope your week is filled with blessings
and you're enjoying this fall weather!!!!!!!
