Top of the morning to you, Sweet Peas.

| Sheep Trifle |
I missed decorating the hutch last year for St. Patrick's Day. Easter was early so I jumped right on in with the bunnies. But since Easter is in late April this year, it gave me the perfect opportunity to pull out my greens and decorate for St. Patrick's Day.
 |
| "Erin Ewe", Truckin Along in the Luck Truck and a darling sheep from dear Robin. ❤ |
So grab you a cup of coffee and let's head to the kitchen for a look at all of those precious ewes that have taken up residence on my hutch. Shall we?
 |
| My hutch is filled to the brim with all things green! |
There is really nothing new on the hutch. I usually decorate with the same old things for St. Patrick's Day. I normally pull out my few cabbage pieces, anything green and the few stitches that I have for the holiday.
 |
| Luck Basket |
Vintage thrifted transferware plates were used as a backdrop.
 |
| Sheep Jar and Truckin Along in the Luck Truck |
Being a plate- acholic , I always have to add plates, plates, and more plates.
 |
| More plates are stacked in the corner. |
Lots of thrifty finds on each shelf.
 |
| Basket for Ewe |
Here and there are cross stitch pieces that have been stitched over the years.
 |
| Lucky Stamp |
Some were made by me and others were sweet gifts.
 |
| A gift from sweet Robin. She knows I adore sheep. Thank you, Robin. 😘 |
I left my enamelware pans hanging on the edge of the hutch. Fake eggs are stacked in one.
Soon all of this will come down and bunnies will hop , hop , hop down Bunny Lane shooing the sheep off of the hutch shelves.
 |
| Puttin on the Green and Shamrocks, Gold and Chickens |
But for a few more hours, I will enjoy my St. Patrick's Day decor.

Hmmm, I wonder if I could squeeze one more thing on these overflowing, filled to the brim shelves. Hee! Hee! - Probably not.

Thank you so much for the sweet visit. I know it was a lot to take in and not for all, but it is just my style. 💚💛🤗
Be happy and Be Ewe is what I always say - don't you agree.
As Always,
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

Dear Melisa, thank you for putting a smile on my face this early morning.
ReplyDeleteAaaw and thank you for bringing a smile to my day, dear Willeke. You are the sweetest! 😘🤗 I wish you the most beautiful day . Warm hugs
DeleteC'est toujours agréable de commencer la journée en lisant tes articles . Bonne Saint-patrick . Chez moi aussi quelques déco , dont Ewe Erin . Bonne journée
ReplyDeleteHi, Aline. I hope you had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. It sure warms my heart to hear that you have included Erin Ewe in your decor. I am so very honored and very grateful. I wish you a wonderful week, dear. Warm hugs.
DeleteThe bunnies are coming, the bunnies are coming - woohoo!! I love, love, love bunnies. Can't wait for the Easter decorations. I want to see everything in person so I'm thinking about stopping by. Then we can stitch, stitch, stitch and stitch some more. OK? I promise to behave. Although it will be difficult. LOL Happy Monday!!! Darlene J
ReplyDeleteEeeh a visit would be delightful, Darlene! Bring your sewing machine too and we will get into all kinds of trouble! Hee! Hee! My bunnies have been waiting patiently for their turn in the spotlight. They will be hopping out today. I just love Easter time. Warm hugs!
DeleteI don't know what to write. Everything is already said. Everthing looks so nice and cute. I like the little sheep on the photo. And yes, the bunnies are coming.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day,
Gabi
Aaaw thank you from the bottom of my heart, Gabi. I have enjoyed all of the "greens" the last few weeks. But I have to admit that I am excited for the bunnies to hop out ! Have a beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteHappy St Patrick’s Day! According to my DNA, I am 25% Irish so I will be wearing green today. Love your sheep! My MIL always had lots of sheep decor at her house. Gail at the cozy quilter.
ReplyDeleteAaw a very Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, Gail. I have Irish in me as well so I always look forward to pulling out the greens and celebrating the day. It has taken me years to collect the sheep. Sheep decor is hard to come by in my neck of the woods so it has been fun to stitch my own over the years. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteA wonderful rabbit hutch decorated for St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteMy children are learning English at an Irish school🍀☘️
Have a happy day and a blessed week!
Aaah thank you so much, dear Isabel. I have enjoyed this month's hutch display.. I always have a great time changing it out seasonally. That is so interesting that your children are learning English; children seem to pick up languages quicker than adults. They do not teach foreign languages in our school until high school which is a pity. I hope you had a great day as well as your sweet children. Warm hugs.
DeleteI love all your "cabbage ware" pottery;)); your hutch vignettes are so wonderful, Melisa...
ReplyDeleteit is pouring rain here-- 1.5" so far and still teeming down...
I am 25% Irish-- so enough for "the wearin' of the green" for me and hubby is 75% Irish; so, I have my corned beef and cabbage waiting for my crockpot..yum!!
Happy St. Patrick's day to you and yours..hugs, Julierose
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Julierose. Oh I wanted some corned beef and cabbage to celebrate the day and I thought for sure our restaurant would be serving it, but no. Bummer. I bet yours was just yummy! Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteHappy St. Pats! You always have such fun things tucked away on your hutch.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Kate. I have been collecting for many years; I always enjoy pulling these pieces out even for just a short time . I hope you had a wonderful day and was able to enjoy some time in the quilt room.
DeleteLove your hutch tour - so jealous! ;-) Happy St. Patrick's Day. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteAaah shucks, Donna. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have packed that little hutch full. LOL. I hope you had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. Hugs.
DeleteAwesome hutch tour, Melisa! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Robin. I pulled out all of my greens and went to town on this hutch. LOL. I look forward to changing it out though. I am ready for the bunny decor. Hope you are doing well. Warm hugs.
DeleteI just knew I'd be in for a tour of greens today, Melisa. And you certainly have the beautiful stitchy and non stitchy items to share for the occasion. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you from the bottom of my heart, Jocelyn. I almost let time get away from me before posting the hutch tour. My, this month is just flying by isn't it? I wish you a wonderful day . Hugs.

I hope you had a blessed and Happy St. Patrick's Day, Debra. I had my fingers crossed that we would be eating corned beef and cabbage at a local restaurant today- but bummer- they did not have it on the menu. I guess next year, I will be making it myself. LOL. Have a beautiful day and thank you for the sweet Monday visit. Warm hugs.
DeleteI agree! Be happy and be ewe. I love your St. Patrick's Day hutch. Those cabbages are perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Jeanna. It is always a delight to change out the hutch for the season or holidays. The cabbages are some of my favorites. I hope you had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. Hugs.
DeleteLove your St. Patrick's Day display! Those cabbage pieces are amazing! --TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Terry. I have been collecting cabbages for many years. Every now and then I will run upon a cabbage piece at the thrift store. If it is a good price I will snatch it up. Have a wonderful week . Warm hugs and Blessings.
DeleteWhat fun to look through your green-themed hutch on this St. Patrick's Day, Melisa. You've certainly thrifted some amazing finds. Love the cabbage collection, especially. And, of course your wonderful stitched pieces add so much. Hope you have a delightful St. Patrick's Day, my friend! ♣♣♣
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you from the bottom of my heart, Carol. It has been a joy to collect those pieces even though it has taken many years. It is always fun to add a new stitched piece or thrifted item whenever possible. Happy St. Patrick's Day. Hugs.
DeleteLoved the Hutch Tour, loved the stitcheries and especially loved the Cabbages. Happyu St Patrick's Day to you with all the Irish Blessings. Warm Hugs from Sunny Arizona.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day , dear May. I hope your day was filled with blessings. Thank you so much for the kind compliment on my hutch. It is always a joy to change it out for the holidays. Did you get any of the snow last week? I heard that some of the roads and highways were closed . We had a rainy weekend here, but this week is supposed to be nice. Hugs and blessings.
DeleteYou sure have a knack for finding fun things at the thrift shop, Melisa! I love all your green dishes and cute stitched things. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you from the bottom of my heart, Diann. It is a hit or miss when visiting the thrift stores. LOL. We went thrifting today, but it was a miss. Oh well, that is ok. I hope you had a wonderful and happy St. Patrick's Day. Hugs.
DeleteThank you for this tour. Love all your pictures !
ReplyDeleteOh Annelies, you are so very kind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope your day was a blessed one. Warm hugs.
DeleteI absolutely love the cabbage pieces! I look forward to them coming out. Plus, those green transferware dishes just make me happy! Mr. Onion is adorable. I just want to Beep! his nose. Haha What is the brightly painted shiny thing in the picture with the Basket for Ewe? Looks sort of like a maraca.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe that I did not even have all of my cabbages out? LOL. It has taken awhile but that collection has slowly grown. Oh, that little golden painted object is a wooden spoon that my sister gave to me a few years ago. I always keep it out somewhere displayed. It brings back fond memories. She loved to thrift as much as I do. She always found the neatest things too. I hope you had a Happy St. Patty's Day and ate your greens? Hee! Hee! Warm hugs.
DeleteHi Melisa, as usual your hutch looks beautiful! I haven’t been stitching much either, oh well 😊
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well♥️🤗
Hi, Christine! I was thinking about you today. I hope you and your family are doing well. It brings a smile to my day to hear from you. I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one out of the "stitching routine" . I guess every now and then we are not in the mood or we just get too busy. I wish you a wonderful rest of the week. Warm hugs.
DeleteYes please, squeeze more in :) (nwpaintedlady)
ReplyDeleteHee! Hee! You know I want too. LOL. I was thinking of you the other day, Sharon when I pulled out some of my vintage pottery. I am going to put some of it on the Easter hutch. Have you found any great thrifty finds lately? I purchased a small piece of yellow McCoy the other day . I was doing the Happy dance. LOL. Have a blessed and beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteI love all your displays with the pottery and stitcheries and what-nots. Hippity, hop! It'll be Easter before we know it!
