I love handmade! Over the last few years I’ve asked my husband to make me gifts rather than buy them. He hates to shop and lately I’m the same way. Handmade means someone took the time to think about the person they’re gifting and come up with something that they think is perfect for the giftee. Here’s a few of the things my wonderful man has made for me over the years.
This is my favorite photo of the Eddie and I. He took two old single-trees, cleaned them up and put them together to frame our photo.
Three spice racks made from oak, cedar and pine and now full and hanging in my country kitchen! Most of my most used spices in one spot and easy to pick out what I want.
Shelving runs lengthwise in my 30 ft kitchen on both sides.
He made these in two different years to hold all of my old kitchen decor.
I hate using plastic storage containers now. I had a large stockpile of 1/2 gallon canning jars so I moved all of my dry goods into the jars. Eddie made me this unique cabinet to go over my pie safe and that holds a lot of our food.
Staples are in airtight containers and easy to put my hands on. No more smelly plastic containers.
Eddie made me a baking tin cabinet from some wormy chestnut boards from the farm.
My round baking tins and loaf pans go in the top shelp. The baking sheets and bread pans go on the bottom shelf.
It fits perfectly beside my range and the spice shelves are directly above it.
This is my newest piece of handmade gifts from my husband! appliance/baking center in the kitchen.
I’m the luckiest girl alive to have such a loving and creative man to live with. He doesn’t understand why I like the old, primitive look because he likes the more modern look. I keep telling him I’m just a country girl at heart!!
Country folks!!
Good clean country living. 🙂

Aside from the pictures with Declan last year that was probably the last picture taken of us together. I personally think it’s time for a family photo again with Declan. Maybe we can set that up the next time you visit. Heather has a camera with a timer we could use to get it done!!
