Hello, Friends.
How was your weekend?
We
had a very uneventful one…and I’m not complaining. I took Mom to Asheville for
an appointment on Friday and we stopped by our favorite antique store on the way home. I
found a vintage dry sink in very good condition and at a very good price. It
came home with me.
I look forward to decorating it seasonally. And the cabinets will provide some badly needed storage.
It
rained most of the day on Saturday, so it was a good day to stay inside and do
some decorating. I’ve decided that I am going to celebrate the USA’s semiquincentennial
by decorating with patriotic décor all year long.
I
started with a pencil tree that holds my White House ornaments as well as some
odds and ends from Hobby Lobby. This tree will change throughout the year as I
add some stitched pieces, and I’ll likely replace the existing ribbon.
Then I started on the tiered floor stand…
And moved on to the Hoosier cabinet…
This is just the bottom shelf of the Hoosier and it has already changed since I took the photo above. I'll show you more soon.
I
also did some baking on Saturday and made some orange ricotta cookies. They
turned out great. A ‘cake like’ cookie with an orange glaze…yum.
Here is where I found the recipe if you are interested.
Sunday
was cross stitching day with my friends on zoom. I had a start and finish which I’ll
show you on Friday.
Thanks
for stopping by for today’s post. I hope you have a wonderful week.
See
you soon,

Just lovely Americana decorated tree, Jeanna--I think it is beautiful...
That dry sink cabinet is a lovely piece--it looks like good extra storage as well as having wonderful decorating possibilities.. Nice buy!! Hugs, Julierose
Wow, you have a lot of patriotic items to decorate with :) I’m planning to make a quilt to celebrate the sesquicentennial and have a few r/w/b things to bring out.
Love the dry sink. I used to own one from my aunt that looked similar. It was a great place back then to hide the TV, which I loved. Pencil tree is very nice too. Wishing you a fun week ahead.
Your dry sink!! Oh so pretty. Do you drive a pickup when you go to antique stores, just in case? ;) I adore your star spangled tree, your WH ornaments are beautiful. I just saved your cookie recipe. I'm embarrassed to say that I've never baked with ricotta cheese.
That dry sink is a beauty! Your tree decorations are perfect to leave up all year this year! What a special way to celebrate all year long! I plan to try that cookie recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Love your dry sink - what a find! Looks like you had fun decorating, too. Thanks for sharing that recipe - those cookies sound yummy!
Love your dry sink. A great find. Your decorating is lovely. The cookies look yummy.
I love your dry sink and beautiful decorations.
The cookies look good but I must resist looking at the recipe!!! There are still cookies in the freezer left from Christmas.
You found a great piece when you discovered the dry sink. What fun to decorate it for the seasons.
I love your tree dedicated to the USA's 250th! Your ornaments are gorgeous. I had a friend when I was younger whose mother had a dry sink in her living room. It was always decorated so nicely! I'm sure you'll do the same. Thanks for the recipe!
What a beautiful piece of furniture! I have never seen one of those before. Looking forward to seeing how you decorate it. xx
Sounds like a perfect weekend. Love that new piece of furniture!
Ooh the dry sink is gorgeous, Jeanna. Great acquisition. It was so fun to see your patriotic decorations. I may decorate a tree in the patriotic theme all year too. Thank you for the inspiration.
Nice dry sink, I wouldn’t mind having one, no room, but I’ve always liked them. Looking forward to seeing what plans you have for it. I keep my yarn with no project in a tall Amish basket, keeps me from buying new yarn it holds only so much. Faith@FarmhouseWorthy.
Those White House ornaments are gorgeous! Cool dry sink find, too.
