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.

My Daughter found this cute basket cost $4.00.
 Look's like may be picnic basket as the top lock's

redecorate it. May paint either 
white or pale pink, would love
feed back on the colour we should pick.

 She also found this very cute bunny,
that seem to say I belong with you know

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!
