Click the photo above to visit our host and enjoy more vignettes!Today I am going a little bit country.... well, Im inspired by my trip last week to Lancaster, PA....
IN one particular shop I saw many items depicting one of my favorite primitive symbols...
The weeping willow has always meant a lot to me... as a teacher traveling 25 miles to school each day I was always thrilled to see the weeping willows along the stream bank in the rural town in which I taught begin to "green" it was my first harbinger of spring.. thus the hope that summer wouldnt be far behind!!
But more than that, this country design also has a symbolic meaning that is dear to me....
It is the Colonial symbol for eternal life...
so I got rather excited when I found this adorable light in a crock pot with the weeping willow design...
.
Paired with the bowl I already had collected and my Willow figures, it spoke to me as a clear remindet of our lovely trip to Amish Country...
Seeing the Amish children with the animals on the farms was so heart warming...and the best other item I could balance this vignette is my mom's vintage Fapco hen.. I grew up seeing this hen on the bar that separated our kitchen from our dining room as a child....It is at least 80years old as my grandmother had given to mom as a house warming gift..... one of my favorite treasures...
So there you have my Tabletop Tuesday ... the hutch in my kitchen....

All these years, and I never knew the story of that hen! Very sweet :)
