Dressing up for Spring!
I've been dressing up my home and my fun dress form for Springtime! She loves her pillow ticking skirt! And she adores wearing her vintage jewelry!
I'm letting her borrow my $3 Gap jean jacket I found at the thrift store.
Here are my sweet vintage bluebirds. They look happy like those birds I hear outside my window! They know Spring is almost here!
I love pastel dishes with flowers. They are just so pretty and cheerful!
My favorite teacup! I'm thinking of painting my kitchen that lovely shade of soft aqua blue!
Delicious pink plate. Not vintage, but a Rachel Ashwell plate from when she had a line at Mervyns. Wish I had bought more of them back then!
My mama bought this yummy plate for me at
Gatherings, one of my favorite antique stores.
Oh dear, I just realized that I have all my favorite dishes on one hutch.... hope my boys don't find a way to knock it over!
Love this cute "dishes" flash card!
These soft pastels are so calming and peaceful.
This pretty vintage Madonna was a $1.50 bargain at the Salvation Army.
Beautiful chintz and that shade of aqua blue is perfect. Isn't my 1/2 pt. pitcher so cute?
Here is the top of my hutch with more yummy vintage goodness. My mom gave me that hatbox lid that has lost it's box.
It has the prettiest vintage wallpaper.
Graceful curves on this pretty white pitcher.
One of my favorite plates. It was my husband's grandmothers. Isn't it gorgeous?
It's so lovely here today. I hope it is warming up where you are. Happy (almost) Spring!

You have the most romantic china! I love those pastel colors... they are perfect for Spring! And the "dishes" notecard in your frog holder is so sweet!
oh, I am in heaven...its all so beautiful!!!
Such a beautiful collection of gorgeous things! I am really loving those cute little birdies!!
Debbie
i adore all of your vignettes and the colors are my favs.....U R right...they are so cheerful and scream Spring.
The little birdies are the perfect accent too.
oh, everything looks so pretty Michelle...your lovely pastel dishes...the sweet little bluebirds...and your girl all decked out for spring...beautiful post!!!
Not stalking you ~lol...I just browsed your whole blog and enjoyed every minute of it.
I always tell my hubby that I would LOVE to live in Texas...hope to visit in the next few years so I can hit some of the big fleas..like Round top and Warrenton.
I love Ca. too and the town we live it has tons of thrift stores...our little down~town has about 8 antique stores. I am very happy where I live but there are times I dream of a small little cottage and a place where the cost of living is not so high!
Noticed your parents were from CA....I was thinking they must be close to Bakersfield if you visited six flags. I am in Clovis/Fresno.....it gets a bad rap but we are nothing like L.A. and it still has a layed back~ home town atmosphere.
Anyway...I was trying to get some decorating ideas from you.....pretty inspiration :)
I love your plate's what a beautiful collection!! love the hat box top. I don't own any vintage hat box's but always on the look out!!I feels like spring here too!
Rebecca

Dear Michelle,
I LOVE everything! You have it all displayed beautifully!!! I love how you dressed your dress form. She looks so fetching and quite ready for spring in her lovely outfit and jewelry. Your hutch is beautiful, I love how you have it lined with the vintage runners with lace and all of the pretty pastel floral china is beautiful! That is my favorite kind too. I love your aqua teacup and saucer. I have bowls and small plates in that same pattern. I think your kitchen would be lovely in that shade.I love the plate that was your husband's grandmother's it is gorgeous! The dishes flashcard is so sweet and the hatbox cover is lovely! I love how you displayed it atop your hutch with the white pitcher and other pretties! The little birdies are the sweetest! Thank you for sharing your pretty Spring vignette! It is nice here today too, very Spring-like. I am so happy!
Love, Paula

Everything looks so lovely! I love the dress form. I have one that I display in my dining room. She's wearing a Vintage Gunne Sax pink prom dress, and she also wears a vintage pink hat. I'll have to post a picture of it on my blog so you can take a peek and check it out :) Also, LOVE that Aqua door...what a find!
I hope you will stop by and visit my new blog :) Have a lovely evening, warmest, Brenda
Just had to say I love everything in that cabinet. So pretty. Thank you for sharing and putting a smile on my face. Blessings, Martha
Oh, Michelle, everything is lovely! Your dishes, dress form and little bluebirds are all perfectly enchanting! We had a lovely day today here in Central Texas so I am keeping my fingers crossed that spring is on the way! Vicki
Hi, what a beautiful post today. I have to get one of those dress forms. I can play dress up with her, and she has to wear what I put on her. My girls are grown now, and I can't dress them up anymore. lol Love your dishes, and the birdies are so sweet. Your boys are adorable!
Debbie
Lovely post...Happy Pink Saturday!PS I am having a pink blog giveaway!

Your china is beautiful! I love the sweet tea cup. Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment.
xx, Michelle
Thanks for whating your beautiful, beautiful things with us--what a lovely way you have of displaying your favorites!
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
All your dishes are wonderful. I can sure see why you'd want to have them all in one place. Everything looks beautiful. How do you do that with your boys around?
Patricia :o)
PS: LOVE the little blue birds.
LOVE your cabinet with all the beautiful floral dishes, and the post you did on the blue and white was so gorgeous and inspiring. Really enjoyed looking back thru your posts.
Have a fun St. Patty's Day!
Debra
Each of your treasure are very lovely. Your tea cup is gorgeous and I can see why you would want to paint a room that color.
I just found your blog and I love it! Your colours are lovely and delicate; just my style. It's nice to 'meet' you. Have a beautiful day, I'll be back!
Blessings,
Sandi
omg i am in love with those vintage little birds!!!
I see some china there that I have in my house too! I have a whole set of the stuff that goes with that aqua teacup. It was the china that almost wasn't, I saw it at a sale, walked away from it, couldnt stop thinking about it and sent my husband back to buy it. LOL
Everything looks so lovely!!!!
I love all you pretty plates and I love your colors!
So sweet..and that Gap jacket is awesome!
Have a wonderful pink day..xo Tami
How beautiful all your pretties are together! It all tugs at my heart as I am a collector of sweet pink roses and little birdies and such.
Maureen
I've found that having fragile treasures around healthy boys is completely possible. It only takes a little planning, and high shelves.
Your lovely treasures are definitely worth preserving.
I don't even know where to start you have shown so many lovely things.. Your dress form is sure is a knock out and the bluebirds really are the sweetest things ever. I have some outside thinking they may nest soon in one of our bluebird houses. I love those little guys! Oh another thing is the white dishes with the pretty pink dish on top... Wowee that looks nice! Those white dishes are certainly a killer-
Thanks for sharing some of your beauties*
You have the most beautiful home. The pictures are beautiful....I love the blue that you might paint...gorgeous.
Valarie
Hello! Just found your blog and how beautiful. Can't wait to look around some more!

Lovely lovely rose plates and McCoy and the flower frog is so sweet.
Oh I'm so glad I found your blog again! I've seen it before and kept forgetting to add myself as a follower before I clicked out...but today I remembered!!! I love all your treasures:)
Everything is beautiful; your treasures, your blog, your photos, and your children. I'm now a follower! ♥
Those blue birds are just the cutest things!! I love your mannequin - the rose on the jean jacket looks so pretty and spring like!

What a pretty spring post! Love all your pastel colors and your dishes! I also LOVE your chippy door! I found three chippy white doors last year for $1.00 each at a garage sale that were taken out of an old house. Two have porcelain doorknobs and one still has the glass doorknob! I knocked over 12 people to get to those gorgeous doors!! HA HA Not really. I love them and will probably use one or two in my bigger booth space.

I remember when Rachel Ashwell had a line at Mervyns! I bought and still have some of her sheets! Thanks for stopping by my blog and the Little French Flea!
You are one of the Pink Girls, and I see my good friend Julie, a Vintage Chic, visits often. With three little boys you just have to be a dishes collector. The flash card is a must find. You are such a wonderful decorator. I have so enjoyed my visit! Elizabeth
Loving your yummy decor and I see you have a thing for Bluebirds too!
Beautiful children too.
Have a wonderful Easter!
