The Heart of The Home

The adorable Sheila is having a Cupboard Party at Note Songs.


Which presents an issue for me.

I have no cupboards at the yellow house other than some kitchen cabinets which are not pretty.

That leaves the mega mega bar.

We could land a helicopter on this bar or perform a autopsy...just kidding { bad nurses humor}.

Underneath the huge bar I have much storage capacity.


Three cabinet and three drawers hold a lot of kitchen supplies.
Which I will not bore you with.


The bar end goes to infinity......


That's another of my old bread bowls flanked by some blue pottery I collect. Joe bought the bread bowl for one of my birthdays.
Yesterday was our anniversary and we had a fabulous weekend together.

Please join Shelia at Note Songs for her Heart of The Home Favorite Cupboard Party.


I am also linking with Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday.

  17. Olive, I had to laugh at your comment about an autopsy table. I was in a shop recently and the lady had such a table. She told me it would make a great island or buffet. No Way! I love your big island and the dough bowl. The platter is really pretty too. Happy Anniversary.
