Each shelf has a little black and white buffalo check runner. I pulled out as much yellow as I could find to put on my shelves.
The top shelf has sunflower plates purchased at the Dollar Tree and a large thrift store rooster . Hanging with the old painted metal spoon is a Heart in Hand Designs piece called "Summer Whirligig" which was finished in 2019. On the top shelf is Country Cottage Needleworks' "Farm Fresh" completed in 2019 and finished on a green frame which is embellished with torn fabric and sunflowers.
Tucked in a bowl of eggs is one of my little designs called "Summer Chicks" . It is finished in a small frame and embellished with pom pom trim. These little chicks are sporting little quilts as the walk among the sunflowers.
Above the 2nd shelf hangs a small sign that I painted from a board that my 6 year old grandson brought me. He thought I could do something with this scrap piece of wood. He is so thoughtful, and I was just tickled that he knew I could do some crafting with it. On the 2nd shelf is a yellow tobacco basket , white boxes from the Dollar General and chickens.
Also on the 2nd shelf is a freebie from Notforgotten Farms called "June". This was one of my 2019 Stitch Maynia pieces.
On the 3rd shelf is Dollar Tree plates, thrift store chickens, pottery and a vintage scale.
I stitched a small section of Hands on Designs & Priscilla Blain's design called "Fresh Eggs Farm" and finished it onto a little piece of wood from my grandparents' barn. A torn homespun bow embellishes the little piece- a thrifty finish.
Thank you so much for visiting me and checking out my bright sunflower hutch which is filled to the brim.
Have a bright, sun shiny day,
Melisa
After reading you post the lyrics to I Can See Clearly Now are floating through my head, LOL !
ReplyDeleteYour cheerful display is beautiful : )
Lol thank you so much, Joan. It was fun putting all these pieces together . Usually I display watermelons during this time of year till mid August, but those Dollar Tree plates made me go ahead with the sunflowers.
DeleteYour hutch looks absolutely beautiful! Is the “Summer Chicks” piece one of your original designs? It’s adorable! Where can I find it? Thank you for sharing your Sunflower display with us. Debbie from WV
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet, Debbie. Thank you so much. I enjoy changing out the decor on the hutch. And thank you so much for asking about "Summer Chicks" . If you DM me on IG, I will gladly send you the chart. It is a small design and worked up quickly.

ReplyDeleteHappy Summer Melisa!

Aah thank you, Debbie. My grandsons know me well. They know I like to craft and will collect anything. Lol. The youngest who is 3 brought me on old bottle he found. There is nothing like them. I hope you are having a great summer and staying cool. Hugs, Melisa

Oh thank you so much,Deb. I used to not change my hutch out at all. It always sported blue and white transferware, but in the last couple of years I have started to change it by the season. It is fun and a challenge. I love all of your vintage treasures. Hugs, Melisa
ReplyDeleteHow precious your grandson is.
