FIRKINS AND SAMPLERS...

Just a quick post...I wanted to show my firkins that I purchased from Lori Rippey this past week...and also my little collection of samplers.  It's a beautiful day here in Michigan and I am itching to decorate for fall...but I have a lot of errands to run..so decorating will have to wait till another day.

The sampler above the little shelf is one I purchased from Western Reserve Antiques in Holly last weekend.  It's dated 1833.  The little firkin is one from Lori..I love the little wooden handle.  The shelf I just bought on Sunday...it was painted white...but I mixed up  a couple of colors to make it a mustard shade and then antiqued it with some Tudor Brown wax.  I really liked the little hand carved designs in it. 



A little stepback cupboard that I have no idea what I'm going to do with yet...but it was a bargain and so sweet!  That's it for now...have a great day...I'm off to the grocery store!

    They look wonderful on the shelf with the samplers and the new cupboard is a nice space to display more;)

    Good morning Bobbie!
    Samplers are so warm - I did some several years ago but they aren't as 'old' looking in subject matter that I would have liked but I did them and they will stay.
    You have a nice collection going.
    What a cute step back cupboard - hope you leave it the red color.
    Blessings
    Karen
