My Peek-A-Boo Display


Misi did it again, but this time she solicited help from Robyn at Primlish to present the Display Chain.


This week it is about peek-a-boo, or hiding your everyday life items behind something prim.


The picture I have chosen is my coffee pot. It hides underneath a vintage grain bag from Ohio. I left top and bottom open, slid over pot then tied off the top with a cotton cord. Works great except for the blue digital numbers on the machine. Solved that problem by turning machine sideways.


I use an old grain sifter as my cookie cooler board and hide extra rolls of toilet tissue in an old crockery churn. The 'in use' roll sits on the dasher handle. Telephone? Well, it hides in a big beautiful round bottom basket. The only other thing I hide sometimes is my hubby, he blends in with the old wrinkled leather sofa! :)

  6. Oh Pamela...you make me laugh! I'm so impressed with your clever coffee-pot-in-a-bag idea! And after reading this I may need to move the butter churn to the bathroom.

  8. What a wonderful way to hide the coffee pot. I have been wanting a wood coffee house to cover mine. Your great idea would be so much easier to find a place to put the cloth bag when the coffee pot is in use & less of a pain for my hubby. Thanks & blessings to you & yours!
