This is what I see every morning as I walk into the kitchen. I LOOOVE my Kitchen Santa, I got him at Kohl's last year for 1/2 price!
Here we go across the windowsill. I have lights on here and greens and some small santas, mostly from craft fairs years ago! The little sleds were from a craft fair too. I love the 2 little Santas on the ends, they have cinnamom stick arms and legs:)
Santa in his rocker.
A Santa in a chair, he has to relax a little before the BIG NIGHT:):)
Cute pottery Santa from the drug store!!! And a Santa on a sleigh.
Another pottery Santa
Leather like Santa and the other Santa with cinnamon legs:)
The gingerbread house is a luminary! It look so pretty at night!
These are canisters! I got them at the place where I used to work about 10 years ago! SO cute!!!!
Top of the fridge.
The snowman on the left with the lantern I made 100 years ago when I took ceramic lessons!!!!
I still love him!
This one has a tea light.
The shelf between the kitchen and breakfast room. I put white lights then the "snow".
These little reindeer are ornaments but I like them here.
Lots of times I "add" to my pieces. Found this little sign for this snow guy to carry.
On the breakfast room table.
The sun was streaming in this morning!
The hutch that my hubby made me!!!!! It gets decorated for every season:):)
Love the lantern on top and the lamp!
The server in the breakfast room.
This is a Williraye piece. My hubby collects Williraye pieces.
Creamer, sugar, S and P that have snowmen on them. Came from Walmart many years ago.
I even replace pictures in here for Christmas!
Snowman holds dishwashing detergent.
Found this last year on clearance for $2.00!!!!! It holds my scrubbie!
The utensil holder came from Target several years ago. The red utensils from the Dollar store!
A dear friend gave this lamp to me many years ago for doing some decorating work for her! I just LOVE it!
Warmer that makes the kitchen smells like cinnamon;)
Oh how I love Christmas and decorating for Christmas!!!! It just makes me happy! It is ALOT of work, but I truly enjoy it. We are having a small Open House next Sunday so I think I am all ready, decorating wise for that! Here I will share the kitchen. Hope you enjoy! I ahve collected these for many years and each one has a different memory! Am I the only one or do any of you remember WHERE you bought each piece??? I do. OK, I'll be quiet now and let you enjoy!!!! Some how this ends up at the bottom sometimes, I don't know what I am doinmg wrong. I also want to tell you, don't forget, you can click on any picture to ENLARGE it!!!!

ReplyDeleteThat does it. I've put "meeting Pinky in person: on my bucket list. You and I have so much in common. And I LOVE every single decoration, Santa, and the way you have it all arranged. I can imagine coming into your warm kitchen, looking out the window with a mug of coffee, and feeling completely at home. So glad you have this blog - and beautiful Christmas layout and banner.
ReplyDeleteHo Ho Ho!!!
Pinky everything looks so cheery and festive! You look like you've had a good time decorating! I love the hutch your hubby built, and all the decorations on it, very cute! I do remember where I bought things, I'm funny about things like that!! I have my new manger posted that I got in PA at Perennial Pleasures...hope you have a great weekend! Liz
ReplyDeleteLots of cute Santas and snowmen, Pinky. You have quite a collection. Love the added snow around. I like to use ornaments for other things too. That deer is a cute one and is perfect standing like that.
ReplyDeleteHi Pinky! Oh, I love seeing your pretty kitchen all decked out for Christmas. You have the cutest things! Love those lights under the 'snow'!
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping in to see me and I'm your latest follower! :)

Shelia ;)

I am 90% decorated and keep thinking of the short time from now when I have to put it all away!

ReplyDeletei am glad i wandered here to take a peek at your blog and its post, ms pinky. blogging is rarity for me these days and i have to fight to find time to visit the lovely bloggers in blogland...so i knew that assuredly i was visiting here...
your collection of snowmen and santas are surely a delight to melt the harshest of scrooge's hearts :) and oh goodness, what a lucky gal you are to have a darling and gifted husband to create that grand hutch for you!
our family wishes you and yours the best Christmas ever :)
Oh wow, everything is just gorgeous. I LOVE all of your Santas, they are just fabulous, and the Snowmen are wonderful too. Wow, you really decorated every nook and cranny and I just love it. So pretty. I'd love to be there to sip a cup of coffee and just enjoy it all. Stunning. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeletePinky I would say you are Mrs. Claus!!!! Your kitchen is all decked out. I can not believe all that you have done. Some people say they are done but their decorating is not up to your caliber. I can see nothing but sheer homey goodness coming out of that festive kitchen. Really fun to see it all, Merry Christmas, sweet Pinky!!!
ReplyDeleteWow Pinky!!! I absolutely have always loved your kitchen windowsill. What a lovely spot to display things and enjoy your backyard from!!! Your Santas and snowmen are wonderful and you have been busy!!! You are like the energizer bunny - you just keep going and going!!! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteWow...you really have a beautiful, Christmas-ey kitchen. I love your Santas. I bought a chef santa from Kohls last yr. after Christmas...bet it is the same one. I gave it to my daughter as I have another one.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for coming over and following. I hope you will come back often...and I am following you right back. :))
xo bj
I have a few collections too...with Santas being my biggest one...and yes, I remember where most came from.
ReplyDeleteI'm spying what I think is a driftwood Santa to the left of the hutch...is that what it is?
YES, Anne! Good eye!!!! I ahve several!
ReplyDeleteYou have done a beautiful job - both on the house and the blog post.
ReplyDeleteI have a major collection of snowmen, snow PEOPLE, and reindeer and moose. That way once I finally get them up I can leave them out as long as we are in the snowy season. Santas always feel they want to be packed up before mid January.
It is nice to meet you and when I am feeling better I hope to find my way back to your corner of blogland.
Hi Pinky..... I love all your snowmen... they remind me of smiles and happiness...... and your kitchen is so pretty..... love looking out the window...so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have been busy. Not sure where you get all your energy but I will take some for sure. I love snowmen, they are may all time fav too.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you've got a great collection of Santas and snowmen. Adorable!
