Crows, Crows and More Crows!
Welcome, Sweet friends and Happy, happy Thursday!
Do you think you are up for another country clutter tour today?
Aaaw come on. It may make your head swim and your eyes cross . LOL, but I promise you there is a whole lot to see.🥴🤪🤓
Hmmm... How much can I cram into a small space? Well I whole lot Hee! Hee!
Let's go check out the thrifty shelf dressed in its "Autumn Glory!"
 |
| Lots of stitching and vintage items on the old shelf. |
Usually I hang Blackbird Designs freebie called the "First Offering" in the foyer, but not this year.
My little thirfted bookcase was filled to the brim with my old brown pottery and other treasures.
There are bowls layered in bowls with little stitches including an old acorn stitch and Pumpkin Crow .
There are checkerboards, stacks of plates and brown pitchers.
The little checkeboard pumpkin was painted years ago using a thin wooden pumpkin form found at the Dollar Tree. The little Harvest Crow was a freebie from 2009 that I stitched years ago from Pinterest. You can see the chart on Robby's blog called Cash Strapped Crafting.
More crocks and bean pots with little doilies and rolled quilts.
Salt and Pepper shakers, old utensils and a vintage tin completes the fall look.
Oh, yes the shelf is filled to the brim! Can I add one more thing? Hmmm.... I am not sure. 😁
A little pumpkin and doily sits perfectly for the harvest season on an old potato masher.
In the pitcher is Heart in Hands' "Harvest Alphabet". I think that is what it called. Oh gosh, my mind is failing me again.
In the teeny cedar chest is a freebie called "Just A Little Autumn" from San- Man Originals.
Below the cake stand is the "Sunflower 1869 Crock". I don't believe I have shared it yet.
More crows, pumpkins and gourds on Granny's old drawer that is used as a shelf.
Amber bottles are a favorite to display during fall season.
Harvest Home was finished on a thrifted tin plaque.
The warm glows of orange , yellow and browns warms my heart for the fall season.
Most of the items have been collected or crafted over the years. Lots of memories are displayed on those old bookcase.
So that is my fall shelf in a nutshell.
Overflowing, yes! But I sure am happy with it!
If you would like to get a closer look at the quilts hanging in the foyer, check out last week's post The Changing of the Quilts- Autumn Crows.
Do you have a favorite area that you like to decorate for the Fall season?
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

Mr. Pinker and I have been thrifting as we travel. I picked up a small Pyrex bowl along with some doilies .
Are you familiar with this Pyrex pattern? The pretty peachy pink will be perfect for spring decorating to add to my vintage Christmas decor. For a $1.99, I couldn't leave this sweet bowl behind.
The doilies match the bowl perfectly and were just fifty cents. Have I told you , I have an addiction to doilies? LOL
Crows and old brown pottery pieces--what could be better, Melisa!! Love your displays--
ReplyDeleteI used to have my Grand-mere's old brown beanpot--but it met with an accident a few years ago. i do miss seeing it on top of my curio cabinet where I had it displayed sporting flowers of the season...Lovely stitcheries--such fun visiting your vignettes....;)))
hugs, Julierose
Oh, I bet you do miss seeing your Grand-mere's brown bean pot. Those treasures passed on to us from loved ones are mean so much and bring back fond memories. My "brown pottery" collection developed from both my Granny and Nanny. Now I am quite obsessed with them. Thank you so much for the sweet visit, Julierose. I hope you have had a very lovely day. Hugs.
DeleteI am always ready for a country clutter tour! You have a lot of items and you have a lot of variety. It is a lovely "collection" . I enjoy seeing how you intermingle in your displays thrifted items, family heirlooms, gifts from friends, tins, quilts, crochet, cross-stitch and everything in between. Thanks for posting links to the cross stitch. I am confident you could get another item on most of those shelves LOL.
ReplyDeleteLOL thank you very kindly, Alicia. You know I love my country clutter. Hee! Hee! It warms my heart that you enjoy it too. I do have a great time intermingling all of the items. I just want to enjoy it all. LOL. Some of the pieces bring back lots of fond memories of loved ones . I wish you a very lovely evening and thank you again for dropping by. Hugs.
DeleteGrazie e buon autunno 🧙♀️🎃👻🍁🙋♀️
ReplyDeleteYour crow goodies are so, so cute! Love all the bean pots and treasures. The pink Pyrex bowl is beautiful! What a bargain. I still have my set of green bowls from 1969 that we received for our wedding. They are treasured, and I still use them!
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty fall colors and things to look at in your foyer. Hope you have lots of time to enjoy the display.
ReplyDeleteI just love and look forward to all your posts. Your fall ones make my heart sing. Lot and lots of inspiration! Looking for ideas of witches and ghosts this year🎃
ReplyDeleteHi, Melisa 😊 Your "mystery" crow stitch appears to be Salem Event, designed by Olesya. H'mm, I might have to add it to my stash!
ReplyDeleteI love all your pumpkins and crows, Melisa! I've been getting mine out, too. I have some vintage Pyrex dishes that were wedding gifts, lol! Just 50 years ago. And I still use them. Your pink bowl is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteSo many pretties! The brown crockery is so pretty against all the fall colors in everything. That gravy boat is beautiful. Just by the black thrad color, those crow stitches are very dramatic. Haven't a clue as to the designers, though. I have seen the pink pyrex. So dainty. I looked it up and the design is called Gooseberry. Oh, boy! Another collection is started! Haha
