Show N Tell Friday
It's Show and Tell Friday at Kelli's. Today, I would like to show my old ladder. I got it at a yard sale for $5.00. It is displayed in the corner of our living room. I change the decor on it seasonally or whenever I get a whim. The sign on the top rung is from my good friend who lives in Kentucky. She gave it to me for my birthday last year. I says, "Count your life by smiles, not tears. Count your age by friends, not years". The second rung has a beehive, bee and bee runner that I made. Utah is the "Beehive State" so I have a few "bee" things around my home. The third rung is holding a summer pillow that I stitched. Sorry, it's kind of hard to see. The fourth rung has a cute doll from Honey and Me. I LOVE their stuff!! I made the wall hanging with Civil War fabrics that the doll is sitting on. Of course, every home needs a star or two, so I hung that for good measure=). When I first brought the ladder home, my family thought I was nuts~~but they like it, and so do I. Who knew ladders could be used for something other than work!! Have a sun-shiney weekend. Toodles~~~

really 5$? good to buy in a garage sale... but here in europe no people make it... Happy weekend! Mine's up too hope you can drop by!
What a great idea, I like to change out the decor seasonally to. I think this would be a neat idea for setting up on a front porch too. Thanks for sharing!
Oh it is so cute...I don't decorate country anymore, but it is still in my heart! I LOVE the ladder and all the cute things. Thanks for showing it!
I love your ladder, Julie!! And what a great display that you have on there! I'm sure it looks wonderful season to season. I bought a ladder on Saturday, I hope to give it a little TLC and bring it back to life. :) I hope you have a great weekend!
What a clever, amazing idea!!! I like that. It would give the room so much character I'd think!! Super.
There is an open invitation to stop by and view my show n tell project this week. Hope to see you there if you haven't dropped by already.
Great place to dislpay all those things that are special to you. I bet it's a great conversational piece.
Something else indeed! What an awesome idea! I love the whimsical touch, very cute!

Another clever and adorable prim display! I love it, Julie!
Thanks so much for sharing. I love seeing all of your wonderful decorations and ideas.
Hope you're going to have a wonderful weekend...
That was a great deal and I really like the idea! Have a great weekend.
Hi Julie
You sure do keep your family on their toes with your creative and clever decorating ideas.
I love how you have used this ladder to display some of your favourite prim items. What an adorable display, I especially like the sign on the top rung.
Thank you for sharing
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend
Love

Cute idea. Love it!
Now I have to grab the ladder at
my moms before she tosses it!
Great idea!
Hi Julie...
A ladder and a old door? ;-) You are good at finding such great stuff! I love the look of your ladder. It gives a warm and cozy feel when you look at it. I bet your home is so beautiful to come and visit. Like going to a country store but homeier. You have such a good eye for detail. Thank You for sharing!
Hugs,

What a neat way to display treasures!
What a wonderful find and I love how you decorated it! Your treasures are adorable!

Julie,
What a deal! I love your ladder and the way you have it displayed! I still haven't done anything with my little Americana one, but I'm working on it this week! I think I'm going to take it outside for the summer months, then bring it in for the winter!
You have a great week!

Hey Julie,
I had to stop in and comment again! Congratulations on the win over at Kindra's! I scrolled down and saw Country Girl At....Heart. I was getting excited there for a second!
Well since I didn't win, I'm glad it went to you. I can picture it there with all your great prim stuff!
Congratulations!
Tammy
There is nothing like an old ladder for decorating versatility. I have one in my living room on which I have hung a baby quilt that was made for my husband and one that my grandmother made for me. It was a $5 find as well and so big that we cut it into 2 pieces and use the second one to hang quilts in our bedroom.
Yours is simply lovely. Mine has the round rungs so I can't sit things on it. Now I'll be looking for one like yours!
Smiles,
Lea
