To remind myself of that I made this spring themed hutch today. The hutch itself is a sanded, painted and glazed Michael's hutch. It's pretty but what I think makes it special is the hand painted "china" displayed in it. The plates and platter started life as those plastic seals that come out of milk and juice cartons. I painted the yellow flowers and green stripes and then sealed with a scrapbooking dimensional product to give them a china like finish. On top of the hutch is a glass bead vase of hand made daffodils and a ribbon trimmed basket of rocks "collected from vacation spots." I also added clear plastic "glass" to the upper doors. I love the warm and sunny feel of this hutch.

I luv it
Those Michaels hutches are fabulous aren't they
What a clever idea using the lids for the plates
So pretty! I love your "china!"
I've been seeing robins here lately and a few daffodils too. Maybe spring is coming!? :)
You did a super job, especially on those plates! They do not look like seals to me at all.
It is so pretty and springy! But I am not sure I believe you that spring is coming! LOL! I see signs of it---they are pruning the peach trees and daffodils are blooming but yet they are calling for more winter weather Tuesday here! Yuck!
