The
Cranky Queen needed a gift for a Bridal Kitchen Shower...but she wanted something different from the "usual" wedding gift chosen from their registry...No one can ever say that the
Queen is ordinary~
So with a little thought, I made this pillow from old vintage kitchen curtains & fringe. Don't you just love the pattern. I placed a pocket on this pillow and tucked a recipe card & a wooden spoon in it to go along with the party theme. Of course, I added a cook book and some cute recipe cards that matched the pillow. On the card, I wrote the typical
Congratulations,
Hope All of Your Dreams Come True,
Here's To A Happy Life...but I also included funny sayings such as
"If You Want Breakfast In Bed, You Better Sleep In the Kitchen"&"When the Fire Alarm Goes Off, Supper is Served"
So when the honeymoon is over and hubby needs to sleep in the kitchen to get his "breakfast in bed", he can use the recipe pillow to rest his head~
KEEP CALM & COOK SOMETHING!

With that title I just had to read your post. So cute! I'm thankful for people like you who CAN think outside of the box,
ReplyDeleteTOO smart...Thanks for this! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog title, wonderful photos and snippets of thought with them. Read your profile too . . . can just about hear your accent. If I listen too long I'll sound like you too. I always tend to pick up accents almost immediately. And I sure can hear yours in your profile. It goes very well with the Crank Queen loveliness of your blog. :) Why frankly Scarlet it is a wonderful blog and all. Love the background. Shabby Blogs does some great stuff, huh? And, your post. Quite Cranky funny. Neat, neat gift. Unforgettable I'd say. Enjoyed my visit immensely! Okay, it might make ya truly cranky to hop to my blog by my link here on the comments cuz I'm using my Google account today instead of openid. It'll take 2 clicks to get over to my WordPress blog if you do. I'd like to know how cumbersome it is, if you do hop by that way. I'm tiring of using he open id b/c of the errors. Thanks, Jenn (Time Traveling Thursday w/Liz)
ReplyDeleteYou are too cute! I mean CRANKY! LOL! That is a wonderful gift and if it was MY shower..it would be my favorite gift of all! I LOVE Southern writers and now bloggers! You all (I mean y'all) have the greatest sense of humor. Too many blogs lack that...mine included, I think. I am a true blue follower now. I would steal your idea but at my age one doesn't get invited to many weddings...just funerals which can also be fun if you're the right nationality.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever read those mystery novels about the 2 "amateur detective" sisters in Alabama...I forget the authors name and the town (probably the capital) it has the Vulcan statue...they are hysterical! I also love that new show, Hart of Dixie. I think I was Southern in my last life!
P.S. If you can't tell...I'm a Yankee...I had to fess up.
What a fun blog! I love all your vintage family photos and I collect vintage Christmas angel's, mostly Lefton, kind of like your Logan collection.
ReplyDeleteLovely pillow... Love the addition of pocket to it .. !!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I'm glad you came by to visit!!! LOVE the name of your blog!! And your blog....I'll be looking around for awhile!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute! Always love a handmade gift - really special! Linda
