Yesterday my friend Eloise, pronounced E - Lois, met me for lunch and then took me round to a couple of antique/collectable shops.
I had this "blank-slate" wall in my kitchen, next to the refrigerator, for which I had been keeping my eyes open for "just the right" thing to hang there.
Of course, I had no idea what "just the right thing" would look like, but was pretty sure I'd know it when I saw it.
It doesn't even need to HANG on my wall, but is instead very content just to LEAN there.
Cranberries!!! Imagine that!!! How PERFECT for this county in this state since we produce more cranberries than any other county in any other state!!
I brought the ladder and swag home with me and stood them up against that nekked wall in my kitchen.
I attached a few tin cookie cutters to the swag.
The LINENS had no business living at the beaches of Florida, Sister Pam and Joe find they have much business there indeed!
We speculate that a good many of these pieces were made by grandma's own hands - - -
Now - - - there's one more nekked wall in my living room to which I must turn my attention - - - I'm thinking maybe an old window frame - - -

What a great find! It looks terrific with all your specila things adorning it.
Look at you getting all decorate-y! That is absolutely darling. And is the ladder red? So cute! I have an old quilt hanging on the ladder in my living room, but I really like the linens on your ladder.
That looks perfect there. Good choice. It must be so nice to have such nice treasures from your family.
You definitely live in cranberry country, Keetha! That ladder looks fantastic, like it was meant to lean there, and the family heirloom linens have found a perfect home!
Just makes me wish I was interested in decorating something. It looks Grrrreat!
I like it and it is nice that you can out your special things on it for others to see
Love the ladder and it looks perfect in that spot. I like how you can display the 'family' linens. Cranberries are amazing and to think they are grown in your area! hugs, Linda
So is it bad if I covet your ladder??
Wait?! Was that an invitation to come visit? Only if E-lois agrees to take me along antiquing too.
Nice finds!
I love the ladder and it is decorated so cute.
