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. |
UPDATE: Thank you to all my stitching friends who reminded me of who the designer was of the crow stitch. It is called "Salem Event" by Irena Veber sold by Oleysa at More Little Stitches.
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 🧙♀️🎃👻🍁🙋♀️
ReplyDeleteAaw you are so welcome and thank you , dear for the sweet visit. I hope you are having a lovely day. Hugs.
DeleteYour 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!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so kindly, Linda. I have enjoyed collecting all of the brown crocks and bean pots over the years. Oh how fun to have the green Pyrex bowls. I think I have one of my Nanny's avocado green Pyrex bowls. I can certainly see why you treasure yours- what a wonderful wedding gift. Have a blessed day, Linda. Hugs.
DeleteLots of pretty fall colors and things to look at in your foyer. Hope you have lots of time to enjoy the display.
ReplyDeleteThe little foyer is crammed full, but I enjoy it so much. This is the 1st place I enjoy decorating for the season and it always starts with the quilts. Thank you for the sweet visit, Kate. Warm hugs.
DeleteI 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🎃
ReplyDeleteOh Patti your kindness just warms my heart. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my day special. Oh yes, I am all into ghosts this year. I am hoping to decorate my hutch in ghosts galore. LOL I hope you have a wonderful time decorating and creating for the holiday season. Warm hugs.
DeleteHi, 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 agree! Olesya's shop is called "More Little Stitches." And a heart-felt thank you for the new tour. I really needed something charming and beautiful today. You may never know how many hearts you touch, Melisa. We so appreciate your generosity, creativity, and charming decor. Kris in WI
DeleteOh thank you so much, Cheryl. I stitched this piece way back in 2018 and for the life of me could not find my pattern. It was a delightful stitch. I really enjoyed just using a few floss colors. Have a fabulous day, dear. Hugs.
DeleteAaw Kris, you are always so kind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The stitching and quilting community has been such a blessing and so very warm and supportive. I cannot tell you how much your sweetness means to me . You truly brightened my day. Have a lovely evening dear. Hugs and many blessings.
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your seasonal decor, Diann and this year's display was as cute as a button. You always have so much cuteness in the works year round. Pyrex are the best aren't they? They are some of my favorite bowls to use and the pretty colors make them extra special. Thank you for dropping by. Warm hugs.
DeleteSo 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
ReplyDeleteI have been collecting the brown crockery for ages - all inspired by my Granny's bean pot which she gifted me years ago. I love pulling them out especially during the fall season. Well, how cute is that name- Gooseberry. Oooh you are right I am going to have to look for more of that pattern . Hee! Hee! Thank you for the sweet visit and for bringing a smile to my day, Ginny. Hugs.
DeleteLike Cheryl says the cross stitch is called Salem Event by More Little Stitches on Etsy. I love it and might have to buy it for myself. I am sure thanks to your post, she'll be selling a lot more in the coming weeks.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Sandra for the info. I stitched this years and years ago and couldn't find my pattern in my stash. I could not remember if I showed it on IG or not which I am sure I would have listed the designer.I do remember it was a delightful stitch and I loved just using a few floss colors. I wish you a lovely afternoon . Warm hugs and blessings.
DeleteI've been doing a bit more research on the cross stitch and have found a design called Salem by Irina Veber which is exactly the same as your stitching. I'm thinking there might be some copyright issues with the person selling on Etsy as she says it was designed by her.
ReplyDeleteWell that is interesting, Sandra . Thank you for letting me know about this. I will update this post with the info. just in case others are interested. I will make a label to add to the back of my stitch too with this info. .Big hugs.
DeleteI love each and every treasure of your Autumn displays. Perfection!
ReplyDeleteAaw you are so very kind, Elaine. I enjoy using my thrifted treasures along with the quilts and stitching. The combination of clutter just makes my heart sing. Hee! Hee! Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteEverything looks gorgeous and heartwarming! And I love crows. I also love your creative talent!
ReplyDeleteAaw shucks . thank you so much, Linda. I have an affection for crows especially come fall time. It was fun to pull out all of the "fall goodness" for the season. Hugs and blessings.
DeleteLove your foyer filled with crows, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Robin. I tend to decorate it the same every year, but I do enjoy all of the crows and pumpkins for the early fall season. I hope you are having a lovely afternoon. Warm hugs.
DeleteLots of eye candy in this post, Melisa. I see so many stitched pieces I would love to do :) Just need more time, right? Great find on the Pyrex and doilies.
ReplyDeleteGosh , I know what you mean, Jeanna- we need more hours in the day. I had a great time decorating the little hall for the fall season. Soon Halloween will be taking the crows places. LOL. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a great display! Love the crows and the assortment of brown pottery together! How you get so many items in one little space is amazing. You are certainly gifted!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL I just pile it in, Terry. Hee! Hee! I have always enjoyed layering one item after another in a small space. My eye does not do well with an empty space. Hee! Hee! Can you tell? But I had a ball using all my Stitchery and crocks together. Thank you for bringing a smile to my day. Warm hugs and Happy quilting.
DeleteWhat a fun fall tour~Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAaaw Betty, you are the sweetest and thank you for taking the time to visit my wee hallway which is filled to the brim. It is always a joy to hear from you. Warm hugs and many blessings.
DeleteAaaw you are so very kind. Oh I have a small home too-so I take advantage of every nook and cranny for storage. Plus I use the attic, garage and she shed. I have been a collector for years.I think I took after my Grandparents on that end ( Hee! Hee) , but I do love to collect anything that reminds me of them .Thank you for the sweet visit. I hope you are enjoying your week. Warm hugs.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about your fall display! You have inspired me to maybe add a bit more treasure to my own displays! Thank you for sharing your lovely creations with us! I look forward to your posts!
ReplyDeleteAaah you are so sweet, Vicki. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I had a great time mixing all of the thrifty finds with my stitches and quilts. Some of the pieces bring back fond memories. Enjoy your day and Happy decorating. Hugs and blessings.
