New jar labels-2104- Organizing my Kitchen!



Do you love my new chalkboard tags on my vintage jars?
The shelves above my fridge have always been a handy place to hold odds and ends. Know it is even better. I bought these vintage jars a few years ago at Brimfield antiques and I love them. 


When I was preparing muffin batter about a year ago,  I thought I had added sugar to the batter but it was salt. Listen, I have a salt addition but even I could not eat those salty muffins!

I have been careful since then.  I think these labels will help! I found them at Target while Christmas shopping. Similar ones can be found online but for me the red border around the black label, meant for Christmas, are perfect for my kitchen where red abounds! 


Now I am looking  for  places to put  labels, think it is addicting.I used actual chalk to write on the labels and I love the effect but there is also a pen that writes like chalk and is permanent. 


 Humpty Dumpty, the stuffed guy I made, sits on the middle shelf. It was made by first sewing a egg from cloth and then drawing on it with black marker. Kind of a an egg thing going on in my kitchen. 
Come back for my more organizing ideas from my homestead. 
I love my labels and no more mistaking ingredients!

Thank you for visiting the Homestead,
Karen

Owls in Home Decor

Have you noticed how popular owls are? Home decor is no exception and I think the trend is here for a while. This white owl lamp from West Elm is full of rich texture that really is accented in white. Perfect for White Wednesday at Faded Charm.

Owls have always interested me, shown here in my pencil drawing, enjoy...

Even Target has a great contemporary style owl lamp.
White with a black lampshade, always so classic.

I love the etching style black line drawing reproduced on the border of these pillowcases. Must haves, from Urban Outfitters.

a little owl has even flown into my etsy shop, taking refuge under a branch...

Shades of Light offers a more country version of the owl lamp. Reminds me of vintage Bennington Pottery, love this one too...

I believe this creature will be seen in jewelry and home decor items for quite a while. They seem to me endearing, of course wise, retro and fun but they also represent flight, wonder and the best of nature.

ENJOY!
