Kitchen Vignettes+ Giveaway Winner

I'll admit it...the whole reason for this post is to show you this cow tray I picked up at Target today.

So cute! It was love at first sight!

My birthday was at the end of March and I got to go antique shopping alone (no kids).

It was fantastic! I picked up this demi john while shopping.

I have another tray from Target in my kitchen.

I keep it above my stove to add a little interest to the all white back splash.

It is made out of some type of hard plastic so it is easy to clean if it gets greasy from my cooking.

I have wanted a crown crock for several years and was thrilled when I found it in Illinois last spring.
 It was only $12.00. Quite a bargain!
 Perfect for holding all of my wooden cooking utensils.
 I love the bit of green from the rolling pin.
 I also got it in Illinois while shopping with my friend Heidi.
 It was half off at a thrift store that had a lot of antiques.

One of my favorite prints I own is this little fern.
I've never found a good place to hang it so I keep it in the kitchen where I can enjoy it everyday.
 A fisherman's float may be a strange thing to keep in the kitchen, but keeping it up on a high counter away from little hands is a good way to keep it from getting broken.

I've shown you this vignette before when I shared  how I painted my salt and pepper set.

I got this brilliant idea from Kelly.

I hated all the ugly cords from all of us charging our phones, so they are now corralled in a basket.

I found a nice narrow one in my stash so it doesn't take up a lot of counter space.

I recently found these dish towels that are the perfect size to keep in a chicken wire basket.

I really like to keep my dish towels out.

It makes it easy to grab one and frees up drawer space.

Deep dark corners on counter tops don't get used so it's the perfect spot to put together a little vignette.

Placing everything on a tray helps it from looking cluttered.

My kitchen is very basic and a bit dated (you can see it here).

 I like to keep a vignette on my island to help me focus on something pretty.

I love to burn candles in the kitchen.

Once again the high counters keep dangerous flames away from little hands and the candles
also cover up strong odors.
