Good Morning.
I was changing things around a bit yesterday and really feeling the need to nest. I felt like I did when I was I was getting ready to have my little one, in a fury to get things done. I do the same thing in the house when I'm getting ready to go on vacation. Does anyone else do that?
I got this great old chippy bench at the flea market last month. I did seal it so it won't flake any longer.
I rearranged the fireplace mantle as well. I love my big ol' spool of vintage string. My husband got this for me at Country Roads. I was going to use it for when I wrap up packages, but I just can't do it. It's too pretty to use, at least for now.
A small kitchen vignette. I love this vintage metal lunchbox. I like how it adds a pop of color in contrast to the dark rusty chickens.
A collection of some of my vintage linen towels. The rest of them are scattered throughout the house.
Well that's all for now. I will talk to you all next week sometime. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
Sincerely,
~Melinda





I adore the sheet music placed above the mantel and the string is wonderful. Absolutely lovely

Your mantel vignette is stunning! And, I absolutely adore your chair & linens. Maria at Dreamy Whites has a chair like that & I love it. What's a girl gotta do to get a chair like that around here? lol Best wishes and healing thoughts with your surgery, sweetie.

Beautiful! Love your mantle and everything else! I have a mantle I've been wanting to buy, but I'm not sure how to secure it to my wall. Any tips?
