New Babies

Here are my week old baby ducklings,

when I went down to feed my chook's

and duck's last week, I found that my

duck had finally hatched a little family. 

So here are the proud parents with there 

little brood. I think we may 12 to 14 little

duckling's.

Mama duck with some of the brood.

Papa duck and brood.

I will try and post some more of this 

family when I can get near them better.

Love and Blessings From Carol

I am not ready to show kitchen cupboard's

as they not quiet finished and bit untidy at

the moment. So please here the two display

cupboards, I picked the two up for $200

from a dress shop that was closing down.

They have lights and also all glass , so when found them. 
I had just the place for them in the nook in the passageway to 
display my treasure's and teacup set's, 
And give soft lighting  in passageway.

Lets look inside

top shelves

The two top shelves

have some couple of 

special treasures and few

of my teacup sets from ebay

and thrift shop. 

The little bear on the 

left shelf was from my

sister who now lives

in the USA.  

Second shelves

The shelf on the left

have some family

passed on treasures and

same collected pieces.

 The shelf on the right

       a few special treasured

             gifts and family passed

      on treasure's.

  

         

                                           Third shelves

This shelf is mix of my collected

things, family on passed treasures

 and teacups and saucers.

The next shelf has mainly

family passed on treasures,

the plate behind the small

       red plate and knitted holders    

    is  a serving plate from

         my mothers Grandparents

           wedding gift of dinner set. 

Last shelves

These two shelves are

just bit's and pieces.

The wood work

pieces are what my

children done at school.

there are also some little

men made from metal in

the left shelf that are loading

a cannon, son made them. 

So that's a look in two of my

favorite cupboards. I have joined

others at  

“Heart of the Home – Show Us Your Favorite Cupboard” party hosted by  Shelia over at Note Songs!
