Adding to my Majolica collection

 I love majolica pottery and have many of the cabbage leaf pieces. I have plates and serving pieces in different shapes and sizes that I use quite often. While surfing ebay one night I came across this set of seven dessert size majolica fruit plates. I knew I had the perfect spot in my kitchen for them.

 I hung them over the slider in my breakfast area.

The back of our house is up high, the view is amazing!

 Love the way they filled in the empty space above the door.

 Spotted a few other pieces that I loved, but I was good and only ordered these for now ;)

 Today I spent my morning in the hospital with the hubby. He had surgery on his knee for a torn meniscus. He's home and doing well, he starts PT tomorrow for 6 weeks.
 Thanks so much for stopping by. Your visits and sweet comments make my day!
                          Have a super week!

An unexpected visitor

 Look at the size of this woodpecker! My husband was sitting at the counter earlier today and all I hear is OH "bleep" GET THE CAMERA!! The hubby was joking around and said this woodpecker looks like he's on steroids, he's so big! We have two woodpeckers that come to our feeders everyday but they are 1/2 the size of this guy.
 Look at that pretty face...
...and look at the size of that beak! I'm guessing he could do some damage!

  Have you ever seen a woodpecker this big? We sure haven't!

            There he is getting ready for take off!
Have a great weekend!

Country French Tins

 I made a quick stop in Hobby Lobby last week. I haven't been there in a while so of course I couldn't come out empty handed! I found these cute country french tins.

 Love the colors...

... and the cute lids.

 I decided to put them on the top of my kitchen cabinets, the colors go so well with my Fitz & Floyd fruit plates.

                        A nice little change!

~First Impressions~

They say it's always good to make a good first impression right? Well that's what I hope people get as they walk up our front walk to the entry.

 New planters filled with a variety of flowers.

 Still love my red Roo!

 I've had this boxwood wreath for a few years, I just added the burlap bow.

    Thank you for always stopping by for a visit!
 I'm joining Alison over @ The Polohouse for Favorites on The First. Hope to see you all there!
