A Peek Into the Foyer

It is a sun shiny day! A perfect day to skip through a field of corn or perhaps of sunflowers.  

Wheew! It is too hot for that ! Let's skip that and just head into the house  where sunflowers are in bloom and the corn is abundant! 😀  Well at least it is in in the foyer. 

Welcome, Sweeties and Happy Tuesday! 

Are you up for another Country Clutter tour ? I sure hope so for there is lots to see, and it would be a delight if you joined me. 

As you enter the house, from the patio you will be greeted with lots of sweet summer stitching displayed on my thrifted shelf. 

That includes Blessed which is a  freebie from Stitching with the Housewives and my Mini Sunflower Sampler freebie which are both nestled in a wooden bowl filled with corn cob holders and an antique doorknob. 

 This year's theme was Corn and Sunflowers. 

Sunflower Inn , a Little House Needleworks piece, was tacked onto the old metal plaque for the season.  I think it brightens up the area nicely. What do you think? 

Lots of pretty sunflower plates from the Dollar Tree were layered in among the shelves.  You might have already figured out that I have a thing for plates. 😊🙄

Of course if I am going to decorate with corn, I had to include some chickens one of which is in a small corn bowl. 

  Sunflower Sampler   is a stitch that I shared a few years ago. Such a darling frame it is in. 

A big ole corn on the cob cookie jar is perfect to put treats in like Mr. Pinker's Cornflake Bars.  Yum Yum! 

PEANUT BUTTER CORNFLAKES BARS

YIELD: 20 bars

INGREDIENTS: 

1 1/2 cups of creamy peanut butter

1 cup of sugar

1 cup of light corn syrup

6 cups of cornflakes

DIRECTIONS:

In a large sauce pan combine peanut butter, sugar and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium low heat until the sugar has dissolved.  Remove from the heat and stir in the cornflakes. Spread into a greased 13" x 9" pan. Press lightly and let stand  until set-   for about an hour. Cut into bars. Enjoy! 

Except for the plates , all of these items have been made or found at thrift stores and yard sales including the big corn casserole dish. 

 Summer Ewe looks as cute as a button as it is propped next to an antique amber bottle gifted to me from my sweet sis. My sister  loved collecting old bottles-  such a fond memory. 

Antique pitchers, stacks of plates and lots of sunflowers

Summer's End a freebie from Notforgotten Farm was a delight to stitch.  Beside it in an old vintage planter is  one of my freebies' called Mini Bee Sampler . 

The 2nd  Notforgotten Farm  piece on display is June which was also a freebie on Lori's site. It is a favorite as well. 

Well Sweeties, that is my corny display in a nutshell. I am so grateful that you joined me. Thank you for dropping by. 

 As always,

Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
