Spring Veggies...April 2018 Seasonal Hutch Decor


I know it's May 1, but April was an extremely busy month, and it got away before I could share my April hutch decor. I choose "Spring Veggies" for my theme. As usual, I have my white everyday pattern, "White Satin" by Nikko on display in my hutch. I also collect white teapots and creamers which are added throughout.


This vintage soup tureen (stamped 1957 on the bottom) cost me a whopping $2.50! I got it when one of my favorite thrift stores ran a 50% off everything over $1 sale one weekend. On the back, it says "beans" and has a different motif, so you will probably see this again. 


This sweet little relish dish was .50 cents. The wicker plate it sits in has seen better days, but when I took them apart, it looked lonely! It is also a vintage piece. The moss covered eggs came from Hobby Lobby last year.


The spring veggies salad plates are also vintage. They came from a different thrift store than the soup tureen, and although I can't prove it, they seem to match perfectly - as if they had been made to go together. I got all eight plates for $5. I placed one of my cabbage plates behind it for a peek of color. 


These carrots came from Hobby Lobby last year after Easter. I paid maybe a $1.50 per bundle. They are made of burlap and raffia.


This precious daisy gravy boat was also a thrift store find. The cabbage plates behind are by Bordallo.


The cute little covered lettuce bowl was a gift from Karla Boling. She had made it for her mother, years ago. When her parents passed away, Karla gave me several things from her mother's collection that she knew I would cherish. Isn't it cute?


This little vignette sat on my kitchen table all month. These green plates came from the thrift store. Nothing special - made in China, but I liked them. The little carrots are from Michael's this season. I used my 40% off coupon.


These little rabbit farmers are some of my favorite Easter decorations. I bought them eons ago at Big Lots, of all places. They're not cracked. They're supposed to look that way. Aren't they pretty? They look so vintage, and I love the colors.


I pulled a couple of teacups from my "White Satin" by Nikko pattern. A couple of handmade green napkins completes the setting. It's all nestled in a white metal tray from IKEA.


I once read that a tablescape vignette should have different heights and textures. I think this one hit all the marks.


Up top you can see a few miscellaneous items. The green platter was $2.25 at a thrift store. The lettuce bowl was $1. There are a couple of "Dress Me Up" platters from Southern Living at Home that I bought years ago. I like that I can change out the ribbon on them. The yellow platter gives a splash of color. It belonged to Sister Winnie May.

I'll be taking all this down today to make room for May. What's the theme? You'll just have to check back in and see!


I'm so glad you stopped by my neck of the woods!
