Bargain Cloche and Grain Sack


Okay, read those stickers and weep!  Just kidding, I don't want to make anyone cry.  Aren't all of the markdowns on this cloche crazy?  This photo looks like it has tons of etchings on it, it's really not quite this noticeable.

If you have a Tuesday Morning close by, it's worth running over there if you want one of these.  Mine had several cloches left.  I bought some real lemons when I went grocery shopping today, figuring I'd have enough to at least do the picture justice - laughter, right? - FL grows lemons as big as softballs, so I don't know where these puny ones came from.

I Won!
Give-a-waaaay, I MUST share this awesome custom grain sack I won at a giveaway with Miss Mustard Seed.  She hand painted it just for me!  If you want one of your own, I'm sure you can order one, get on over there!  I was undecided as to what I was going to do with it, hang it on the wall or make a pillow out of it.
But before I got to the picture taking point, I knew I'd love it as a pillow right here!  Whoops, hang on, you just might slide off this bench!  One more giveaway I won:  These charming gifts from from my dear friend Jeanette at Sweet Jeanette.




I'm going to steal use your inspiring ideas on how to best display this.  In the meantime, while I could visit Betty Crocker, I'm going to visit Lemonade Makin' Mama instead and get her lemonade recipe!  (The next time I take a picture, I'll take the stickers off.)  I'm linking with my friend Linda at Coastal Charm and Southern Hospitality:

  15. Hello Kim ~I've just strolled in for my first visit...I've enjoyed taking a peek at your past posts. You've got so many wonderful ideas. Your blog is so beautifully inviting.
    We share similar taste for so many of the same creative design elements.
    The cloche is a fortunate find. I better head over to Tuesday Morning and see if I can be as lucky to find one for myself.
    That feedsack will make a beautiful pillow. I can't wait to see the reveal.

    As spring approaches I'm looking forward to applying the inspirational palette of colors into a few DIY projects, with a little baking/cooking in between.
    Don't you love the aroma that fills the air during this season?
    It's definitely invigorating.
    I will come by your charming blog again.
    Come by for a visit. Your company would be nice.

    Sweet wishes,
