 |
| I have finally caught the "cow bug"! |
 |
| I have decorated the kitchen in black and white...with a little pink and blue thrown in. I bought this cow picture at a yard sale several years ago. It is framed with an old window. |
 |
| The tablescape is done with black and cream transfer ware plates, plaid place mats ( I topped them with an oval battenburg lace place mat) .... |
 |
| sweet little Mary Moo Moo cow... |
 |
| Got Milk? |
 |
| H's place setting is just like mine... |
 |
| I carried on the cow theme with this wreath... |
 |
| I made this wreath a long time ago... |
 |
| I used to sell them in my booth... |
 |
| I added some blue to the counter top vignettes... |
 |
| This is my new bread box that I bought at the auction this past Saturday.... |
 |
| The large Cobalt blue pitcher is a rare piece of depression glass (Royal Lace) It belonged to my mother. |
 |
| I added some cobalt blue salt and pepper shakers to the existing vignettes on this side of the kitchen. |
 |
 |
| We were 80 degrees yesterday and this morning it is 32 with a wind chill of 18! H went out and cut me some cherry blossoms this morning, they look pretty sick, I think they froze! |
 |
| I added a little hand painted cow to this vignette... |
 |
| and an antique lidded dish. This dish was used to serve food on the Santa Fe Railroad dining cars. My dad was a railroader for over 40 years and collected lots of railroad memorabilia...I'll do a post and show you pictures someday. |
 |
| This little lady is trying to make a call ....lol |
 |
| She is on a stack of old milk crates. This one is from Binghamton NY( not far from where H was raised.) |
 |
| This 1942 one is from Lubbock Tx...about 100 miles from here. |
 |
| This is an old Clardy's milk crate. |
 |
| I had to show you this old bonnet that my Grandmother made. She used to wear one of these whenever she worked outside. |
 |
| Here is a collection of old milk jugs. Does anyone remember getting your coffee cream in those little glass containers on the far right? |
 |
| This is an old Borden sign that used to hang on the warehouse here in Clovis. It is huge ...about 4ft x 8ft. I used to have it hung in the kitchen at our previous home. I don't have a wall big enough for it here, so I have it hung in the garage! H has his collection of meat grinders mounted on a board under the sign. |
Pennyyyyy!Che meravigliaaaa!Mi piace tutto!Starei ore e ore ad ammirare la tua casa romantica!Brava!Baci,Rosetta
ReplyDeleteI love the cow picture. It is gorgeous! That cobalt pitcher is to die for! Beautiful kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThat cow picture is so cute with all her girly flowers and bows. She looks great in your home! Love that cobalt blue pitcher. Beautiful. Yes, I would say you have moooooved into the cow mode!
ReplyDeleteJudy
Love all your very cute and pretty goodies. Your hoosier is great. I had one but sold it which I know realize was a really big mistake. Thought I wouldn't have room for it in our kitchen. Just shows not to make decisions too quickly when you move into a new place. Everywhere I looked in your home I saw all your wonderful goodies. The best is your cow pic, she's really pretty. Happy days
ReplyDeleteI want that wreath it's gorgeous!...mooo love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen and all your decorations! The cow is really cute with its pretty wreath of flowers!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Penny,
ReplyDeleteO MY!! Where do I start????
The Cow picture is darling....
Love all the vignettes around your Kitchen and I know I have told you before but I have that same card holder that I really have to bring down from the attic because I love how you use it in so many different ways.
The bread box is delightful as are all the diary memorabilia.
And the wreath is stunning!! Love it!! I envy the size of your Kitchen...not for cooking but for decorating!! LOL!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Love the fancy cow in the window frame...perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh I love Mary Moo Moo and all of your bovine decor! I am also a BIG fan of Depression glass. I collected the Cobalt Moderntone pattern for years! Thanks so much for sharing at the Rock ‘N Share linky party. Hope to see you again soon! Blessings, D@TheShadyPorch
ReplyDeleteI love the burner covers - such a neat idea. You kitchen and cow designs are to die for. I am trying to decide who I want to incorporate more roosters in my kitchen!!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh Penny!... I just love everything!... your cow is so beautiful with the roses on her... too sweet... and I love the new colors you are adding everywhere to your home... I also love that your home is filled with precious family heirlooms, like mine is... your grandmother's bonnet is priceless!... I need to go back and look at all of it again... don't want to miss a thing... xoxo Julie Marie PS Something happened to my "followers" and I lost most of the blogs I was following... signing on again... I don't like bloglovin, and I have almost confirmed that "followers" is NOT going away, just "reader"... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteHi Penny,
ReplyDeleteLove your painted cow pic. What a fun find from a yard sale. Your kitchen is gorgeous. I of course love the black and white and also have it in my home thoughout. I have a love for the cows too and painted many through the years. Your home is always inspiring and I love all your vignettes.

the cow pic. nice..... also your wreath. i just have one lil question. how do you dust all of your goodies. must take forever. but.... it would be so worth it, as you have one very beautiful home.
ReplyDeletelove it so very cute with all the charm and spring colors of a wonderful country home

Your kitchen reminds me of my sister's when you had the cow bug! Now she's moved on a to a more modern look! I love the Borden's sign!
ReplyDeleteYou have so many pretty things to look at, Penny. The cow painting is cute and so is the teacup wreath you made. I used to have a bread box just like yours and I threw it out years ago. Those pot covers on your stove really caught my eye. What a great idea! Thank you for sharing at my HOME.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi

Better the cow bug than the sickness kind of bug. I have that and am not real happy with it. I should try the cow bug for a change. Your accents are all so adorable!

Mooooooove on over, girl! I love cows, too! How can one not love those sweet, gentle faces, right?? Your kitchen is filled with so much history. Whether from your collecting or from your family. Love how the two are integrated! Lots of pics that were so much fun going through along with the narrative. Thanks for inviting us over!!
ReplyDeleteLovely Penny!! I've been collecting cows ever since 1986 and LOVE the country look and pop of black and white they give. Your collection fits so perfect in your kitchen! I love the blues too...the cobalt is another fave of my own. You've got the lovliest home I've seen! And the wreath of blue and white dishes is awesome. I'm so excited to have you share your beauty with us for my party!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, and blessings to you!

Penny! When you catch a 'fever' in this case - 'cow fever' you go all out! LOVE all the cow details from the picture to the crate - beautifully done and that wreath is stunning! Pinning! I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
ReplyDeleteKathy
MOO-VE on over and make room for the cows! lol! That cow picture works perfectly in your home Penny. Love the touches of vintage blue you have thrown in the mix. The Borden sign is fabulous! I have an old milk crate and a few milk bottles, love them. The lidded dish is wonderful and would love to see your other railroad items. Thanks for sharing with SYC. I am wanting a few lambs to add to my farmhouse basement.

Hi Penny, your post is beyond adorable. I adore your lovely treasures everywhere. A vintage collection of awesome things. The cow touch with the picture on the wall is a gem. I too love cows...they live all around us in the country and I was raised on a dairy farm. Go cows.
ReplyDeletexo, Jeanne
Hi! I think this is one adorable post! That cow near the phone is a hoot and the wreath is so pretty! Love all your cow touches and your sweet Mary's Moo! I have one eating watermelon! HeeHee!
