Un petit quelque chose ~

Do you ever find yourself with a long to-do list and end up spending time doing something completely frivolous instead of what you should be doing?

I think, for me anyway, this is a coping mechanism.  Last week I had a whole list of things that needed to be done..and what did I find myself doing. Creating a market display in my kitchen! Totally for my own amusement and because it will be fun to look at.


After Easter I really hated the thought of putting these wonderful cabbages away for another year, so I decided to add a few things and enjoy them for a bit longer.


I created the little chalkboard out of an old plaque I bought a long time ago at Michaels and never used; it is always handy to have a can of chalkboard paint in the garage. It's just the right size to hang, as I did here, or perhaps I will  use it later on an easel.

So...here is my little Market and just like I thought I am enjoying it thoroughly

Now I suppose I must go back and spend some time addressing those items on that to-do list, not near as much fun, but alas, necessary.

I hope that you have a wonderful carefree day!

  1. Hello Adrienne,
    Your still life market garden is so charming. How it must cheer your day looking at it! This seems to us a perfectly good way to spend time, after all, when one is in good spirits all the jobs on the to-do list get completed in record time!

  2. I like to keep my do lists short so that I can tackle them in a few days! The serious jobs like arrange to have the house painted are ones that I think about but never actually write down! One needs to have fun and perhaps we could start to write lists of fun things to do too!
