Yellow

Usually I would post my Diane Phalen Calander picture for the first day of the month, but that I will save until tomorrow, because I just discovered that Angela over at Cottage Magpie is extending her Color Yellow Challenge a couple more days. Yippee!! I just saw Nanette's post yesterday with all the lovely yellow things that she has, and was afraid I had missed out on the fun.

I do love this color and have a lot of it in and around my house.

This is a corner cupboard in the kitchen that I can't reach easily, so I took the door off several years ago and set some pretty old do-dads and things up there. I'll pick out and show only the yellow.

A stack of Fiesta bowls and plates.. (ooops.. I do use these for soup and sandwiches sometimes). These are not old, but I like them anyways.

An old Fiesta creamer that belonged to my mother.
My mother's Wise Old Owl pitcher that I blogged about before, and The Pussycat which I found at a garage sale a couple summers ago.
On the top shelf is a ceramic watering can that was also my mother's and a little dog I picked up at the same time as the pussycat.
Now for the "Useful" yellow things. My ironing board.
My new watering can for the outside flowers.

These I every single day, usually many times.
This is my favorite sweatshirt at the moment. I love the turtleneck collar for cool spring days. ..AND some fun play things. I have lots and lots toys and books and could fill a whole week's worth of yellow with those. But here are just a couple. My tin doll house from when I was a little girl. I only have one of the people left.. but was able to find a lot of furniture.
A dress I made for one of my big fashion dolls..
..and one of the Bleuettes is dressed all in yellow at the moment, so she'll get in the scene.
These beauties are perhaps my very favorite yellow things of all. They are singing gloriously right now, and the males are splendid. They are called Goldfinches, and a dozen or so of them visit my feeders all day long. I can watch them from my kitchen window. Wish I had a better camera for close-ups though!


So I think you might have one more day yet to join in. It is so much fun to see what everyone else has and picks out to show. :)
