A berry good day to you! 🍓🍓 Welcome, Sweetie Pies , please do join me in the kitchen. I am sure I can rustle up some sweets to eat. And how about some iced tea or a cup of coffee with side helping of good ole' chit chat? 😀
Guess what? I have some country clutter to share with you. My hutch is filled to the brim with strawberry goodness. I would love for you to join me as I show you what I have done. I sure hope you like it.
Can you tell that I am a maximalist? Lol. I love the country clutter. ! ❤❤❤🍓🍓🍓
For shelf liners I used 1 yd of red buffalo checked fabric from Walmart. I divided into thirds and folded each rectangle to line the shelves. I then added in the plates. Did you know I am a plate-aholic? I just love plates! Do any of you suffer from the same affliction?
The plates that I used for this month are all from the the thrift stores including the red Pioneer Woman plates.
On the top shelf , is Strawberry Manor, a house that I have not shared yet.
It is sitting in wee red colander. Below it is Spring on the Farm which I finished in a Dollar Tree tray that I painted white.
We have always had a red truck on our family strawberry farm so I added a ceramic truck candle and gingerly place a strawberry toothpick holder in it.
Sitting on the vintage bowl is Spring Farmhouse which is modeled after my Nanny and Pa Pa's country home .
Are your eyes crossed yet? 👀 I sure hope not for there is still more to see.
On the 2nd shelf is a stack of white bread plates. The vintage juicer sits on top of them. Can you tell that I like to layer?
Well anywhoo , I placed a Pioneer Woman bowl on the juicer and filled the bowl with lovely stitches as well as a knitted dish cloth gifted to me from dear Patricia.
In the bowl is Red Heart Mini Sampler ...
one of Lori Holt's stitch cards design...
and "Strawberries" . Is this a Lizzie Kate? My mind escapes me.
I placed the Strawberry Jam Jar on top of the vintage sugar bowl.
A wee strawberry postcard quilt created years ago is next to it .
The 2nd bowl on the shelf is filled with strawberry goodness as well .
There is a large pinkeep .

. "Strawberries" is from Little House Needleworks. I also tucked in the "Eggs and Chickens " quilt. It is all rolled up into a teeny bundle. I shared the Eggs and Chicks Doodles in July of 2023.
Plates, plates and more plates are on the bottoms shelf.
Though you can not see them, there are 4 ironstone platters in the background.
The strawberry tea pot is nestled among some white ironstone with 2 mugs in the corner.
"Sweet Strawberry " is a freebie from Caroline at Cosmic Handmade. It is a strawberry favorite of mine.
Front and center is Spring Farm Pasture . It is the 3rd and final stitch in the Spring on the Farm series.
Isn't this the cutest Lizzie Kate stitch? Strawberry is a freebie found on the Lizzie Kate website.
Two more quilts drape from the shelf. One is a simple quilt made from leftover red fabrics.
The 2nd is a wee strawberry mug rug.
So tell me do you think I can squeeze one more berry on to this hutch? I would I end up making a"strawberry jam " of it all!🍓🍓🍓
If you have a hankering to look at more of the same old clutter, I invite you to check out previous strawberry or spring related hutch tours. You will see some of the same things, but just dressed a little different.
In 2023, I did not post my strawberry Valentine's hutch. It included lots of jadeite and chickens.
In 2022 I posted my Berry Spring Hutch

Lots of reds and anything berry related.
