Hi everyone! Tomorrow is my daughter’s 18th birthday so I will be taking a little blog break for the rest of the week. We like to prolong celebrations when it’s something as huge as turning 18! We have a fun filled next few days planned.
I’m going to post the March book giveaway a bit early. So look for that on Friday the 26th and I’ll leave that post up through Monday, March 1. For those of you that are new to this blog, I have a book giveaway at the beginning of every month. I don’t do giveaways from outside sources. I like to giveaway things that belong to me or that I’ve picked out especially for you. This is my way of saying thank you for reading this blog when you have so many to choose from! I really enjoy sharing parts of my life with you and I appreciate how supportive and kind you all always are!

But in the mean time, I though I’d share a few photos of my favorite dish thingie with the latest arrangement of dishes inspired by some salt and pepper shakers.
I found these great vintage looking rooster salt and pepper shakers at TJ Maxx. Aren’t they cute! I love that they look old and worn and have that red checkerboard band around the top and bottom.
I have so many favorite dishes but I really heart these red and white harlequin dishes! I think they go nicely with the checkerboard pattern in the shakers. That’s a vintage dish towel underneath it all.
Have a wonderful week! Don’t forget to come back for the book giveaway and I’ll be back with a new post next week.
Happy 18th Birthday to your daughter!
We have a Grand who is coming up on that number, next month!

You have such a warm kitchen! And a very Happy Birthday to your daughter!

Happy Birthday to your daughter!!!
Hope she has a great day.
Happy birthday to your sweet "little girl". I guess I should say new adult but they will always be our babies won't they? Have fun with your celebration. The chicken s&p and the dishes are so cheerfully pretty:>)
Happy birthday to your daughter. My son will be 18 in March. I can't believe it.
I love your red and white dishes. So pretty and so you.
I bought the exact same ones for a friend of mine that loves chickens! So cute!

I keep seeing all the great stuff you find at your local Goodwill and I decided to go into mine. I hope I just was there on a really off day, cause it was total garbage. If at first, you don't succeed, try, try again. Happy Birthday to your daughter and enjoy your time off.
