It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
by chuckofish
…a glorious day in fact. Til is hiding behind my hosta (I think he’s embarrassed by the weeds and grass) and the flowers are blooming outside
and in
and I finally painted and hung the shelves in my downstairs bathroom!
I haven’t quite settled on what will be on the shelves, but it’s a start. The little, flat metal figures are Little Boy Blue and Little Bo Peep, their sheep, a dog, and a pig (I’m not sure what role the pig is supposed to play, but it’s cute). I’ve had these little figures since I was a kid and recently rediscovered them while doing some ‘attic excavation’. I like them on the shelf. So what do you think?
Next week I’ll introduce you to my newest purchase — an antique table from the Canadian Maritimes. I like to think of it as Scottish in origin, but who knows. Until next week, enjoy the weather and do some fun puttering around the house!

The shelves look lovely! And I’m glad that the flowers are finally blooming.
Glad you like the shelves! And I hope the weather isn’t too hot there.
The shelves look great! I think you definitely need a plate on them. Love the figurines–I vaguely remember them. And I love Til.
You’re right and I’ve already moved things around a little, but I’m still on the lookout for the perfect things to go on the shelves. And I’m assuming that you are home safe and sound now? Hope the trip was great and I look forward to reading all about it!
