I found this cheerful tablecloth for five dollars.
See the sweet birds?
I topped it with a white pitcher filled with branches from the flowering trees in my yard.
Sweet, sweet Spring!
The tea cart in my dining room got a new look, too.
Of course I had to have this tea cart with what else? Roses.
Anyway, the chippy drawer was also found for five dollars. I used it for more plate storage.
On the bottom of the cart I placed a floral tray that belonged to my Grandmother and a bowl of cups.
The silver also belonged to my Grandmother.
And finally, I found these aprons for just a couple of dollars each. I was hooked- apron collection now in progress.
To display them, I decided to use a simple peg rack for three (or four?) dollars from Hobby Lobby and painted it green.
So there you have it. A little bit of this, and a little bit of that, that turned out to be a whole lotta of fun.

I put up a towel holder this weekend so I really can relate to your apron bar. I think it's the perfect color for those 40s vintage patterns. -- Jane F.
