A Christmas Kitchen Bar Vignette

I set up a little vignette on the kitchen bar a few weeks ago and am changing it so thought I should share it. As you saw with my mantle post I have TREES on my mind this year! And as a total aside a whole section of lights on my big tree went out last night:(:(:(  I went and bought some lights today to string in there. Anyway, I set this up as a little tribute to my Mom. Her nickname started out as Rosebud and then got shortened to Buddy but whenever I see one of these sleds I think of her. This is a little ornament that used to hang on the tree and I added it to a Santa figure.

 This is actually a Byers Choice Santa. I love, LOVE them . Joe wanted to start a collection of the carolers YEARS ago but I said we didn't have a place for them. But I have a FEW pieces now:):) I am sorry for the quality of the picture but it is gray and cloudy today and the camera would not take this without the flash.

 My checked runner with trees at the ends.

 It is SO hard to get a shot of this bar without including surrounding areas, so you are getting a peek at some kitchen decor..

 I love the big sugar pinecones, they kinda look like trees too!

 The pine tree is sitting on an old wooden and iron sled that I LOVE!!!

 I had to add a few antlers too

 the tree also has a tree stump base.  Here you can see details of the sled, wooden seat and iron frame.

 I found these cute reindeer candle holders this year for a steal:)

 added some dreid hydrangeas too
