Homemaking Mondays: A Pretty Hutch

Hello! 

Today I'd love to share with you my hutch.  

My husband bought this for me years ago and I really love it. 

When we moved this last time I decided to 

do something different with it. 

I started with my ivy plant and then my 

caribou antler that my parents gave me years ago. 

Then I added my blue tea set called Country Lane

by Wood & Sons - England.

I love using this set and I'm just a fan of blue and white dishes. 

I added my little dolls that used to sit by my 

grandmother's clock in her living-room. 

I also found that little wheelbarrow and it seems to be just right there. 

I also added one of my favourite Bible verses.

Here is a closer look at the Country Lane....

one could imagine how lovely it would be to walk down it. 

I also have this sweet tea light lamp my husband 

gave me and it's so nice! 

Then I also added this sweet little bear.  

The only thing that I remember being given 

by my one grandfather.  It was actually for my 

first daughter.  She sits out to be enjoyed. 

I also found that little broom at the free store and 

it needed to come home with me. :) 

I'd found that sweet little rocker and added a little 

stuffed bear I've had since college.  

It used to smell like cinnamon.  

Then a little canister with a tea light. 

I also found that lovely blue and cream plate at 

Home Hardware and had to get just one. 

I'm going to use it for a serving dish. 

This plate was a wedding gift to my husband and I almost 24 years ago. 

I love the mix of colours on the top shelf...and 

the outdoorsy feel it has. 

I love to have scripture displayed.  

For comfort and for witness. 

What an unending truth we find in God's Word!

Thanks for dropping by!  

I'm starting to really enjoy being able to find things again. 

Things have a place now and it's starting to become comfortable. 

Today I'm canning some tomato soup. 

Then I'm dehydrating the skins to use for tomato paste 

in soups or stew.  I put the extra juice in the fridge

and will use that in soup this week.  

I hate wasting anything. 

It's not that we don't like the canned tomato soup 

from the store.

It's just something that I've always wanted to do.  

It does taste pretty amazing as well. 

I've also been dehydrating fireweed leaves and 

calendula petals and yarrow blossoms

for tea.

It's just lovely to be able to put some things by for 

use in the winter months. 

Hope you're having a lovely day! 

Love and Prayers,

Jennifer
