My Country Patriotic Farm Hutch and a Little Freebie

 Good morning, sweet friends and happy Saturday! Oh please come on into the kitchen and join me for a patriotic hutch tour. Ice tea is on the counter and how about some fresh blueberries to munch on.  Though with the warm temperatures,  I think a slice of watermelon would be awful yummy! 

 Ok off to the hutch. Ya'll know I just love country clutter, and I cram my hutch plumb full. Lol that's just my style. Last year my hutch looked like this.

The theme was blues and chickens.  I even used my Blue Willow dishes. You can click here to see more of the 2020 hutch. 

This year I went for a lighter look - 😆not light in less stuff but lighter in color. Lol. 

I used the same table runners on each shelf which was red and white buffalo checked fabric from Walmart. I then added my red and white plates as well as my chicken plates.  So let's go to the top shelves. 

I just love Pioneer Woman and last year I got  this cute sign at Walmart. I just love how cheerful and bright it is.  Beside it is my 1776 Crock that I stitched last year. It was one of my 1st designs. 

In the opposite corner is a spindly legged rooster by the cutest little milk can gifted to me by my sweet friend, Sue. I just clipped a little Freedom tag from a Dollar Tree label and placed it on the wire holder. Beside it is little sheep stitch . I think it is Shepherd Bush but please correct me if I am wrong.  On the thrifted yellow riser is Scissor Tails Designs "Rise and Shine" finished in a mini loaf pan. 

                                     

 I have my eye set on the 2nd shelf now.  - Lol look at all that glorious country clutter. Most of it is thrifted which brings me so much joy. I am so sorry for the bad lighting in this corner. 

                                     

I left my Nanny's red coffee canister in the corner and on top of it is an old pitcher my sister gave me with a little ceramic chicken and 2 vintage glass salt and pepper shakers that she also gave me. In a white creamer is a Dollar Tree chicken and on the blue colbat stemware glass  is Bent Creek's "Wave" sampler which I have never really figured out how I want to fully finish.  

                            

My  oldest daughter gifted me the sweet red truck and camper set . She knows my love for camping.  I added a patriotic hat in a small dish in the back of the pickup. The Farm Sweet Farm stitch is one of my freebies finished on a Dollar Tree chalkboard.  Click on the name of the stitch to visit that post. 

Let's hop on down to the bottom shelf. 

Oh, one of my favorite stitches that I worked on last year. was Hen Party by Little House Needleworks- such a great design.

I just love pulling this piece out for display.  It is nestled on a stack of white plates with a little glass basket gifted to me by my sister. And what is in the basket? Lol another chicken.   I will admit I am a little chicken crazy .🐔😆

My little vintage juicer always sits on the edge of the hutch. I change out the bowls by the season- so for the patriotic holiday it sports a red Dollar Tree soup mug and in it is one of Lori Holt's designs which is a little tractor. 

 The rooster ceramic bank was a Big Lots find from many moons ago. I still love it. 

The Life is Better on a Farm was one of my freebies . I made it into a little quilt using some of the fabrics from my girls' clothes. 

The old scale always stays on the bottom shelf corner. On top of it, is a thrifted dish with a blue and white doiley. I had to nestle a little pig in the mix and add my Liberty freebie. 

Maybe that little piggie needs to be named Liberty. Lol. She is sitting on top of a teeny Dollar Tree pip berry garland that I did not unwind so it looks like a little wreath. 

Well that is the end of my farm patriotic hutch tour.  I am already gathering up pieces for the mid summer hutch display . I know it is going to be in yellows but what all can I throw in the mix? I'll come up with something. Lol. 

Before you leave I would love to share my first little design with you which is the 1776 Crock.

I am tickled pink that you stopped by for a visit, and I  hope you have a very lovely weekend. If you are in an area that is extremely hot , try to stay as cool as possible and drink lots of liquids. As always..

Happy stitching, ya'll
