My Place & Yours

this week at My Place & Yours
what do you see when you walk in your front entry.....
well our front entry/veranda is more exciting than when you walk through the door
it as an entry in progress


this is my small to medium veranda, i like bird houses so quite a few live here to greet me when i arrive home.


a wall not finished & a sheet/curtain for doors to my linen press
one of my fave wooden kitchen chairs holds another bird house & my super cute spotty umbrella

this week is all about Collections
what do i collect, well if you ask my family its all junk & there is just too much of it
oh well i like them & thats all that matters

one of the first collections i started were ceramic jugs, i now have quite a few different kitchen collections. one of them is Rolling Pins, when ever i find a new one it makes me think about all those pie crusts it has rolled out, i have used some of them but my fav is the glass one, it has a nice heavy even weight & rolls pastry beautifully.



i have been collecting Bee Hives for a number of years in the form of honey pots, i also have an old green hive out the back, oh & an abandoned wasp nest [it feels like paper]. these are my fav three



Badges are a new collection from the past year, they are fun & cute & make me smile :o)
