Some Winter Decorating


Hi everyone,  I have been doing a bit of tweaking of displays this week.  After the holidays the house just seemed so blah.  I wanted to go with some simple prim displays for the rest of the winter months. This is what I did on the kitchen bay window. I filled the old dough box with an old trencher, wooden rolling pins and paddles and filled it with some stoneware crocks and a stoneware milk pan.  I added some berries and assorted drieds to one of the crocks and put a few paddles in there amongst them.  I kept my shorebird out, ( he always stays on the window because I adore him). A few crocheted snowflakes on the windows round it out.  The weather has been about the same...no real snow just rain today and a lot of mud.  The animals have been in and out and the floor needs a good mopping, all I see is muddy paw prints,  but that will have to wait till tomorrow. 
One of the biggest culprits!

  4. Love it ALL! It's all the things I collect and love how you have it tucked so neatly in the dough box.

    Aw, what a pretty dog! I can't believe that sweet face would be a culprit of anything. =]
