August Sunflowers in my Late Summer Vignettes

Hi Friends,

I have a few late August vignettes to share with you today.

In a few vignettes in the den I have added sunflower florals with some yellow shredded paper for filler. I have been collecting vintage bottles for a long time I love these aqua bottles.




I place a couple of roosters in this wine box added some raffia and a few sprigs of sunflowers and pip berries.


 Just another vignette a canning jar I filled with shredded yellow paper and added a yellow homespun fabric bow and floral.


I have a small collection of cigar boxes and this King Edward cigar box I added a vintage glass fishing net ball and some floral to make up this late summer vignette.

It was great to get some of my August sunflowers displayed around my house for late Summer décor.

Thank you for checking out some of my ideas to use collectibles in and around the home.

So until the next project. May God bless you and your family.

My Out Door Happy Place

Hi Friends,

It's another glorious day here at My Little Colorado Cottage. 

This is the cottage gate to my happy place, my garden. 

  

Today I just had to show off a few blooms in garden, these blooms make me happy!


This wired milk crate is one of my yard sale finds this summer and I thought it would be a great planter for annuals.


My yard is always a working in progress.  Some of the perennials I planted last summer are coming up nicely this year.


I'm going for a kind of rustic,  kind of cottage, and kind of rural feel to my outdoor living space 

What do think?  Thank you for checking out my outdoor happy place.

May God bless you and your family.

Have a wonderful day! I'm Vicki the Colo-Junkett

Late Summer Vignettes in my Kitchen - Using Vintage a Tin, Box and a Box Grater

Hi Friends,

I've been putting together a few late summer vignettes in my kitchen.

I have added sunflower to a vintage America Cheese box I have placed on a shelf above my kitchen cabinet, that I found at a auction years ago.



I also added some sunflowers to this beautiful blue tin I received form a friend a few years ago among a few of my vintage hens and roosters collection.





I hope I have given you some ideas and tips on how to display some of your vintage collectibles.

So until next time,
God Bless you and your family.
