Hi friends! I hope your weekend was wonderful.
Mine was busy but good.
Saturday was cleaning day and with cleaning comes changing.
I wanted to put a little more spring into my living room so I pulled out vintage fans, gathered blue ball jars, and moved stuff from here to there. I topped off the farm table with a small bouquet of sweet flowers that my youngest daughter brought in from outside.
My vintage fans actually work but I don’t use them because they scare me just a wee bit. I do think they mark sunny days ahead just beautifully.
See the sweet green bottle filled with beautiful flowers…
Here it is closer up…
It’s an old 7UP soda bottle that my daughter dug up from a big dirt pile we had brought in for our front yard. From a slogan we saw on it, we think it dates back to between 1936 to 1952.
The best thing about that little bottle is the bouquet of flowers that it holds. Is there really anything sweeter than the sweet hands of a child bringing in flowers they have picked from your yard? Priceless.
This last photo is the entire back corner of my living room. The curtains came from IKEA a couple of years ago and they cover two long windows that flank a door that leads to my backyard.
As spring comes and more flowers, shrubbery and dogwoods start blooming outside, I will begin replacing my dried hydrangeas. My pitchers, pots, and galvanized buckets will begin holding evidence of sunshiny days very soon. I can’t wait.
I hope you have enjoyed visiting today. I know that I have enjoyed sharing.
It’s past time for our school day to begin, but the time change has messed up our schedules a little bit. First school, then outside for some play and work if the weather stays pretty.

You always make the sweetest vignettes, Amy! The vintage fans are so cool, the sound of a fan reminds me of summer! I can't wait for some blooms outside...my vases are tired of dried hydrangeas, too!
Your daughter sounds like a little sweetheart! I love the old bottle! Have a great week! :)

I love every lit bit of your space! The chippy green child's chair is my favorite. Yes, I agree there is nothing like fresh picked flowers from your child. Cherish those days. They go back too quickly. Just skyped with my son and GRANDson! Priceless. Visit my blog today-Ironstone and Roses.
Well you have been busy. It all looks amazing and spring-like over there! I really love the old 7up bottle with little flowers from your sweet girl. I love the photo of the whole corner. The ball jars look great in the wire basket. And that green ladder is oh so wonderful! Love your farm table decorated for spring with the fans!!
lots of hugs

Lovely!
What a gorgeous display. And I love that secretary desk. I see them all the time at the thrift store, but never thought to paint it up.
Love your style!!!

Great vintage display!
That green! --so pretty with a touch of the aqua too--you've an eye for vignette-ing (is that a word?)--lovely room and collections.
Love the vintage decor Amy... as always! But that chippy CHAIR is my fav! How cute! And the bottle...wow... wonder what other old- time treasures are buried in your yard? lol! :)
I am loving your "green" (both the color and the philosphy) in your vignettes. I feel so cheery looking at them.
What a sweet corner. I especially love the fans and blue ball canning jars. My mother-in-law has one of those old fans.
Sorry I haven't visited in a while. Life gets busy and complicated at times. It's good to be back. Have a lovely week!

Amy,
This is just gorgeous, dear friend...but my favorite...is the LOVEly flowers picked by the hands of your child! Precious and priceless!
Fondly,
Pat
You have a knack for creating vignettes. I adore your fans...having a vintage fan is on my wish list. What a great story about the 7up bottle...and I really miss getting hand picked flowers from my daughter. She's 13 now...I think those days are over.
