I LOVE SHELVES...and A WINNER

DONNA at FUNKY JUNK INTERIORS is having her weekly meme
on SHELVING this Saturday..
So, here is some of MY shelving/shelves...
*
I just discovered the other day that...

I LOVE SHELVES..

just LUV them...

I guess I have a SHELF FETISH....

O, MY...at my age, just the word FETISH makes me nervous. :)

While thrifting, I found this little spice shelf...
it was a natural pine color

and I grabbed my favorite creamy white spray and went to town...

Now, I'm not real sure where to use it or what to put on it....

This was a very simple, pine shelf that I found at the thrift store...

I found these gorgeous iron swirly, rusted brackets and had MR. SWEET attach them .

I LOVE the way it turned out..

...I don't display many items on it...

I think just the shelf itself is pretty enough !

I'm using the same sweet shelf here, in the living room alcove, holding a few ironstone pitchers.

This is a tiny wooden shelf that I've had so long,

I can't remember where in the world I got it...

probably at a fabulous garage sale, tho !!
Most of the time, I don't sit anything on it.

I also picked up this tiny little green shelf...

this little lidded tea/coffee pot seems to have a pewter lid...I thought it was silver for awhile

but it never shines...even with a good cleaning with WRIGHTS SILVER POLISH...

'Course, this shelf is green and.....I'm not really into a lot of green right now but this is all chippy and worn and I hate to start all over on it...

......maybe LATER in the spring..

This sweet little intricate shelf was at a flea market once...a long long time ago..

It hangs in my kitchen..

with ivy and a little cast iron fairy...

...and a little cast iron bird, on a pedestal...nestled in the trailing ivy at my kitchen window....

This little shelf gets a new look pretty often...

 Shelving in my VERY narrow entry hall allows me to use pretty
things in here without taking up any floor space.

 My olden shelves full of numbered baskets is one of my favorites.

MR SWEET made these shelves to fit over my 2 dining room windows...
I actually need to take everything down, clean and go with something different for awhile..

I ordered this little shelf and quilt holder years ago...
from somewhere like...THE COUNTRY DOOR or someplace like it.
That's my mama's work of art quilt hanging there...
I also need to take it down, toss it in the dryer with a softener sheet to refresh it...
*heavy sigh........maybe sometime this spring...!

This complete wall of shelving is, by far, my favorite.
Mr. Sweet was going to build the bookshelves for this wall but by
the time he bought all the lumber, it was going to cost around $300.
and we just couldn't afford it.
I went thrifting one day and when I walked into one of the stores,
there, leaning up against the back wall was this entire book shelving.
SOMEone had remodeled their home and removed these...
I nearly fainted dead away when told they were $80.00.
I called Mr. Sweet, had him measure the said wall...
then I measured the bookshelves...
I said, "Can you come right now?"
He said, "I am sitting at a red light, as we speak"
O HONEY
I was so proud of these bookshelves, I didn't know straight up from down.
I enjoy them every single day.

I almost always leave you with a little something to eat or drink...

 ....strawberry sherbet and ginger ale..
