It is all About "Frosty" in the Breakfast Room!

Good morning! I hope you are having a great week. I had intended to post this yesterday but my pictures disappeared? So, I am a day late but hope you enjoy. I have paired down my snowman collection and plan to purge more. I do love them but want to do something different next year. So, here is the breakfast room, all dressed up for Christmas. I placed a couple of my snowmen in some cloches. I like this wire one. I sat it on a cutting board.

 The hutch that Joe made for me....that you have seen a million times:)

 This little guy was a gift from my neighbor 2 years ago. Love him.

 A pottery snowman under another wire cloche. The other one came from a craft fair MANY years ago.

 My snowman lantern.

 I LOVE my snowman lamp.

 The reindeer came from a craft fair also.

 This guy was a gift from Yvonne at Stonegable, several years ago. Thanks, my friend!

 These shelf units are actually plant stands and are over 30 years old!

 I also change the artwork seasonally.

 Thanks so much for your visit at this busy time of year!!

TUESDAYS AT OUR HOME

Christmas in the Kitchen

I like to decorate the kitchen right after I do the breakfast room. We do cook so I try not to overdo it as it has to be functional too. Here's what I did this year. I start with the buffet area and do what I call my "Gingerbread Bar". It started out one year with a gingerbread luminary candle holder. From then it grew to this, and I love it all. I didn't get a close up of the candle holder, it is the piece on the left.

 These are Mr. and Mrs. Claus holding their gingerbread houses. They are Byers Choice dolls.

 This large, lit gingerbread house was a gift from Joe several years ago.  I add the "Kindles" which are the little bakers also by Byers Choice.

 I found this runner several years ago too and knew it would be perfect for here.

 These candy trees were found at CTS (Christmas Tree Shops).

 This was found at CTS also and Joe drilled a hole in the back for a light for me.

 On top of the fridge is a snowman made of SUGAR!, my scale with a snowman and a lit package.

 This year I put Christmas dishes in my glass front cabinets above the gingerbread bar.

 And these little packages.

 I created this little vignette on the counter by the sink.

 I placed the lamp on a sled and surrounded it with snowmen and flocked trees.

 Love the matching lampshade. This was a gift from a friend years ago and I treasure it.

 Looking around the kitchen, another Mrs. Claus and my candy tree that I will share later.

 and a baking Santa. Both are from Kohls.

 My utensil holder is filled with red utensils at Christmas.

 An Led Candle sits here. The holly dish was made by my best friends Mother and that is where Joe puts his wallet when we come in.

 On the breakfast bar we have more snowmen.

 And I found 2 plaid LED candles.

 This Snowman came from Kirklands and goes SO well with my kitchen tree. I will share that later as this post got TOO long;)

Thanks for your visit at this VERY busy time of the year! I can't believe how quickly Christmas is coming! I hope you are enjoying your Christmas season....or whatever holiday you observe. 

XO, Pinky

Christmas in the breakfast room

Good morning. As you are seeing this it is like Spring here: going up to the mid 60's today! The weather is crazy but I am NOT complaining! I love it. Today I am sharing the breakfast room all decked out for Christmas. I am using my snowmen again but am thinking I may do something entirely different next year!

 I try to do it a little differently each year. I did not add snow on the shelves and I added more trees.

 I did the top differently too.

 I used 2 garlands woven together, my large lantern, a prancing deer, a tree in a clay pot and a demijohn decorated with things from my stash.

 Most of the snowmen are hand made that I got at craft fairs years ago.

 This is me:):)

 This one is not hand made but was a gift last year from a dear friend. Thanks Doris!!!!

 I do not wish for snow but he is cute:) The deer were also handmade and purchased at a craft fair.

 I did a little scene in this small lantern.

 Some sun shots early in the morning.

 Now some at night. I love my snowman lamp and lantern.

 I decorate the windowsills to (somewhat) hide the cords from the candles.

Thanks for your visit, I so appreciate it. I hope you are having fun decking your halls too! Yesterday I went and did my friends tree and stairway garland and will share it soon too. I have so much to share with you this season!
