Show & Tell Friday--Laundry Cubbies--Insides

Last week for Show & Tell Friday I shared my laundry room cubbies and my friend Marian requested a peek into each one, so this is for Marian.......


This huge corn bowl--not one of my favorites--was one of my husband's purchases. It reminded him of the old corn ware that his grandmother had--but this bowl is huge and it's hard to find a spot for, however it does lend nice color to the shelves. The watermelon bowl I found at a Dollar General store years ago and the paper mache watermelon I've had forever.


The basket was a thrift store find and the darling little pillow was made by my friend Robin as part of a laundry room swap we did a few years back. It says: Where oh where are all the matching socks? I don't think we'll ever know the answer to that question.

The watermelon bowls again from Dollar General many years ago and the wood mammy and watermelon game board from a thrift store and the little black doll holding the kitty is from a swap I did with my friend Emily Franz a few years ago.

The chicky shelf---the 2 little white salt & pepper chickens were my grandmothers and the other chicken given to me by my oldest daughter sits in an old McCoy bowl my mother gave me.

This poor little shelf needs some more things added to it--but that's a good thing. The little sheep is from a swap and the other things were from yard sales and thrift stores.

Another chicky that belonged to my other grandmother, a cannister that I found at the thrift store--I just love the cross stitch sampler look of it, a little apple that I made and one of my potholders in my collection.

A rooster weather vane the husband bought for me, a little corn husk doll that was part of a wedding gift almost 26yrs ago and a neat little red retro metal box.

The mammy shelf--I've collected these little pieces from the thrift stores over the years, except for the large mammy in back and she is a really neat vintage quilt applique piece that my mom gave to me a few months ago-she's one of my favorite pieces.

An old iron--that still works, china tea cup and a mammy shelf sitter that I made several years back. I love her cotton boll fabric she's wearing.


Old sewing drawers that the birds have taken roost in, a piece of cottage ware that was my grandmother's and a neat pincushion on a bedspring.


The shiny stuff--all thrift store finds.

One of my favorite shelves, because it's so dainty and farmhouse-ish. All thrift store finds and the little sugar bowl and plate just almost match in design. I would love a whole set of these.


And for the very last one my .50 cent copper tea kettle, raggedy andy cookie mold and red rose potholder--all from the thrift store. Speaking of which I must go for now as I'm off to the thrift store to see what treasures await me today. Keep your fingers crossed!

Don't forget to stop by Kelli's and see all the other wonderful Show & Tell Fridays.
