I thought I would share a few miscellaneous things with you today. When we went to The Flower Fields I did a little shopping in the nursery attached. They have some really cute gift items and their prices are amazing. See the flower vase? I paid $12.95 for it and it has that cute little top that you can use for something like long stem roses.
The little lavender planter was $6.95 and the two little potted artificial plants inside were $3.95 each. Are they not adorable? The 3 bottles I ordered through the mail from Decor Steals. I just love the little crowns. Actually I have some wall decorative crowns arriving in the mail any day now. I am working on putting kind of a French Country Royal theme on my fireplace mantel.
I will show you when it's done!
Next up is this plate. I have to tell you the background to this plate.
See the platter in the top right corner. That platter belonged to my husbands Nana, her name was Mable. I always keep this platter on our hutch, but now our hutch is filled with my Jim Shore pieces. One day many years ago I came upon this collectible plate. Mark's grandmother had a hutch in the hallway by their kitchen that looked so much like the picture on this plate. See the platter in the background. I know the platter is different but I just could not resist buying this collectible plate which is called "Mable's Kitchen."
The crowns arrived! I just set them on the mantle to show you.
This is a work in progress!
See this cute wire wall thingy.
I use clothespins to hang cards on it!
Hope you have a great week ahead.

You are so creative! I love those crowns! And so would Breezy and Deanie. Their sorority in college was ZTA and their whateveryoucallit was a 5 pointed crown. I've got to look into getting those little bottles. I love the platter and the plate is just perfect! I have a couple of the husband's grandmother's things- her punch bowl and a candy dish. LOVE the mantle! Want to come do some decorating in my house?
Love the Vase and Lavender Pot! And of course you had to have that Plate...the Name says it all!
Oh, Maaan! I love the crown bottles! See, I used to be known as the queen of my classroom. I even had a list of rules called "How To Keep The Queen Happy."
