Some time the smallest of treasures make the perfect decor accents.
Such is the sweet vintage umbrella accent created with flowers,
a little chalk board tag and ribbon of burlap.
Oh I can't take credit for this design.
The talented Lynn from Shabby Story
came up with the idea.
I thought it was perfect for springtime, so when I found a vintage umbrella,
I had to try one as well.
The umbrella was already the perfect neutral color
with ruffles all around and strap still in place, perfect for hanging.
I was so excited to find it.
Hanging in the entry on my coat rack with
a welcome message.
It looks like an April showers accent
to greet my friends and family.

Another use for the chalk board labels
is on canning jars.
Here on my kitchen bar, I have a message to greet.
Hello!
Take a seat and welcome to my kitchen!
Before
After
Wouldn't this idea be special for a visit to a sick friend?
Right the words Get Well on the label.
Or
A pretty vase filled with flowers
reading
Happy Birthday!
The sky is the limit.
I love canning jars.
From vintage umbrellas to old canning jars,
simply old treasures
show us
they still have joy to share with us.
Wishing you
many
joys!
Thank you for stopping by,
Celestina Marie
