UPDATING MY BEDROOM SHELF

 Simple Pleasures #53

I can't believe that it has been eleven months since I wrote this post about the shelf in my bedroom.

I was not happy with the window frame I was using and wanted a change.

After a few months, I took everything off the shelf and I am embarrassed to say it set there naked for several more months. 

This past spring while I was out thrifting, I came across a vintage oil painting of a vase of flowers.

I loved it and for $6 it quickly went into my cart.

After bringing it home I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it and so I tucked it behind a dresser.

This past weekend while doing some work on my bedroom I came across it and knew I wanted it to go on that shelf.

After placing it on the shelf I knew that I wanted to add the other

items that were up there previously. 

I placed the three antique bottles at one end.

So happy that I kept these three for decorating as I have sold most of the bottles that I had and they seem to be harder to find these days.

My little bird was added next. 

I love this sweet little bird.

Last but not least I added two antique books.

Perfect size for this narrow shelf.

I am very pleased with the final look. 

Of course, as we all know final is a relative term.

Gluten-Free Potato Bread

Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that I love bread.

Okay. I don't like rye bread, but other than that I love bread. 

Eating gluten-free threw a spanner into my bread eating, but I never give up finding the perfect bread.

This gluten-free potato bread recipe sounds delicious and I have just the person in mind to bake me a loaf.

One of the things I like is that there are plenty of substitutions included.

You can even use a sweet potato.

What I'm Reading And Watching

With all of the stress in the world I decided that I wanted some stress free cozy mysteries to read and to watch.

Have you found Darby and Joan on Acorn TV yet?

If not you are in for a treat.

When an English nurse (Greta Scacchi) investigating her husband's death and an Aussi detective (Bryan Brown) fleeing his past collide, they embark on an outback odyssey.

I am on the hunt for a few things for my apartment.

One of the things I need is a full-length mirror. 

As much as I try to avoid looking at my entire body these days I do want to make sure I am presentable when I leave home or that I haven't forgotten anything important like my pants.

My towels never seem to get dry when I hang them on the towel bar so I need some towel hooks.

This Delta towel hook is attractive, inexpensive, and has over 2600 five-star reviews. ( I didn't know that was even possible)

Amazon

I just ordered this for my pantry. Tired of tripping over things and not being able to see what is in there. 

The price is right and I can roll it out to get to things in the back of the closet.

How do things disappear under my bathroom sink? 

This should definitely help and maybe I won't buy things that I already have two of. 

Amazon

How cute is this? 

I am looking for just the right spot to hang it.

As I seem to be having computer problems I am going to stop here today.

Thank you for your visit.
