Every summer I like to display some of my many strawberry-themed items on the dining room hutch. I also like to have seashore-themed items on at least one shelf of my hutch. I've had a busy week and asked my 10-year-old granddaughter to take the following pictures.
Here is the bottom shelf. There is family heirloom ironstone ware, a set of strawberry votive holders (with honeydew candles), a lovely strawberry pitcher, a covered strawberry candle holder, and a summer-themed tag and fun ATC crafted by my friend J. Oh, and a little Kitchen Fresh vintage cookbook.
Here is the middle shelf. It features a pretty oversized teacup, a crocheted green strawberry, a McCoy strawberry teapot and salt & pepper set, a jam pot and a pretty card featuring a strawberry teapot.
And the next to top shelf. It has shells, painted sand dollars, a cake dome filled with sea glass and shells with an "Oceanside" tag, a pretty card, an ocean-themed candle lamp, and a 1970 ferry schedule for PEI.
The very top shelf stayed the same with a Proverbs 31 sampler and 2 "tea for one" teapot sets in summery flowery motifs.And that is a peek at my summer hutch!
I love to see your hutch all decorated for the seasons Mrs T. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteNikki,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!! I am so thrilled to hear that you like seeing my decorating! Your comment just made my day. That's so neat that you think of me when you see strawberry themed things. (A really neat thing is that even with all of the strawberry themed items out there, I don't have any two alike.)
It encourages me to think that the girls will always remember this time. These two are at such fun ages and are very capable. It's so encouraging to me to see how much they enjoy crafting, cooking, even hospitality. A true blessing from the Lord!
I LOVE this blog! That hutch is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing all that you do. Yes, your family and friends will never forget the impact the Lord has made from your life. - darlinghill girl
