Kitchen Snippets

New holiday themes in the kitchen always begin with the window ledge........I display my most favorite things there.......








 Now on to the prim pine cupboard............

Little cross stitch I did years ago.........love the Santa moons........


At least I was able to find this manger set...........still looking for the other one!!!


That's it for now, we are having a big snow event with big chill temps..........I've started baking yesterday so it is toasty warm in here, and will be very busy this week!!!  Hope you are all safe and staying warm!!!  Thanks for stopping by..........

Snippets of Christmas

Finally took some pics of my Christmas decor around the house!!!  I brought out the decorations around TG week and was so busy with the craft show, no time to take pics.  My decorations remain the same as in previous years, they are all my favorite things and I love seeing them over and over again!!!  No need to buy anything new as I don't have deep pockets like so many out there in blog land.  And   Christmas is filled with memories for me, everything I have has special meaning to me and that's how I decorate my home, not with the latest fads.

The only thing I am upset with is that I can't find my manger set!!!  It was my mother's and is chalkware from the 1930's or so........I was so organized last year and put everything away in new boxes.......it remains a mystery!!!

We'll start in the living room.....

Some of my favorite folk art....













Now on to the dining room, lotsa places to decorate in here!!!


I love floral arranging and it gives me the most satisfaction.......the shiney brights are my mom's and my grandma's.......










Most precious chalkware lamb, a gift from my niece..........



I love the red, raspberry and pink colors together............will close for now, post is getting too long!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!!!!
