~*Thank You, Thrifting & Spring Tweaking*~

Hello again dear blogging friends...first of all I want to thank those of you who left well wishes for the kittens' surgery. They have recovered well and were so glad to get home. I don't think I ever posted pictures of them before so I thought I'd show you what they looked like when they were a month old.
The kitten in the front is Bubba (the only boy), Lil Mama is the Calico (she looks like Mama Cali), and Chewy is in the back. Below is Tinkerbell, Tink for short (she was the smallest in the litter). I'll try and get pictures of them now at six months old. They are my buddies. Every morning they are on the porch waiting for me to go to the barn to feed them.
Now on to my thrifting finds and tweaking! I found these milk glass goblets for .99 cents a piece. I'm not really sure they are goblets, but I don't know what else to call them. I may use them as candle holders.

I also found this small apothocary jar for .49 cents...I added faux eggs in pastel colors.
Would you believe the eggs in this nest are candy? Yep they are...they're the Cadbury eggs I've been buying to nibble on.
I've been tweaking my hutch in kitchen. I love sugar bowls and found this one thrifting, too. It was $2.99.
I found this stand at the thrift store several years ago and never used it. I never knew what to do with it and I saw on one of the blogs I visit that they had cups and saucers on theirs...I wish I could remember where I saw this idea so I could give the wonderful blogger credit (if it's one of my dear followers, could you please let me know...thank you!).
I added these little rabbit figurines to the hutch. They were thirft store finds from several years ago.


I was needing to see some green around my home so I picked up a few new plants on my excursion...
Do you remember this milk glass container from several posts ago? It is now home to a lovely little violet.
Another flower for an old crock...
As always, I appreciate your visits very much...thanks for stopping by!

  3. Hi Kim! I just love those kittens. I wish I had one. :) See they make me smile. Your tweaking is all beautiful. I finally bought an apothocary jar and Jos broke it by accident. I am starting to set out my Easter decorations today.

    Hugs ~

  5. Hi Kim - Your kitties are so sweet. And fun, too, I'm sure. You found such wonderful treasures. Thanks for letting us see them and enjoy your finds. Your kitchen hutch looks wonderful. I love the teacup display. Now I'll have to keep my eyes open for things to display some of mine on. Don't eat all the Cadbury eggs! ~Adrienne~

  13. Your kitties are so cute! Holy Cow! Those eyes! They are just so cute! Hope they continue to stay well.

    I don't think I could sleep in a house knowing those eggs were there and not eaten! Cute spring decorating. Love the thrift store stuff. I am usually not that lucky here!

  14. Those kittens are the cutest. I wouldn't mind a cat but the two grown children are alergic and would never be able to visit.

    What great treasures you found thrifting. I never have luck. I absolutely love the bunnies. They look like they are made from the same material that the Wade figurines are made from that you get in Red Rose Tea.

  22. You find the neatest items and use them in such creative ways! Thank you for sharing your Spring decorations.

  23. Everything looks great! Those are odd milkglass pieces. The rim makes me think they are probabaly not goblets, but not sure what else they could be. LOL! But they are very pretty and I can see them as candle holders, candy dishes, even for small plants. Are they tall enough to put silverware in? They would look awesome on a buffet.
    The kittens are adorable! And I love the bunny figures!
    Have a great weekend!

  26. OMG! Those kittens are soooo cute! How did I miss your earlier post about them and their surgery? Your thrifting finds are fabulous...add that special touch of spring to your home.

  27. The kittens are adorable. I've been wanting a new kitten and been hinting to my husband. With 6 kids, 2 dogs and 1 cat though, I don't think he's going for it :-) I have a teapot that belonged to my grandmother that matches your sugar bowl. I never realized there were other pieces, although I guess I should've. I just never thought of it as part of a "tea set". I'll have to keep my eyes open now, there's probably a creamer too. Thanks so much for sharing that.
    Blessings,

  30. I love the simplicity and coziness of your style. I so enjoyed the tour today of your spring additions. I hope you don't mind this question from one who is decorating-challenged: how do you store these cute seasonal items? Are they just relocated to different parts or your home or do you store them like Xmas decorations from year to year?
