Winter Galvanized Tiered Tray

Good morning!

It is definitely snowman season here! We finally got our first real snow of the season ..

 I love to decorate this tiered tray from Sam's Club ( about 3 years ago) for the seasons... It is filled with snowmen.. most of them found at thrift stores and church rummage sales.. The red and blues fit right in with the "Let It Snow Bungalow" hanging on the wall...

 It gets moved between the center of the kitchen table to the counter... I love it on the table with the hutch behind it..There is the Winter Seasons in chalk hanging on the dining room wall..

 A little chalkboard sits front and center..Lots of buffalo check ribbon ...greenery.. red berries and even some cotton branches..

 The little snowman on the doily was a gift from my sister in law this year .. he is cute !

 Santa mugs, 2 strands of battery operated lights and painted mason jars..

 Thanks so much for your visit ! have a great week!

Winter in the Galvanized Tiered Tray

 Happy Thursday!
I am here to show you my galvanized tiered tray dressed up for winter! Even though here in northern Illinois it's not very wintery ..40 degrees and rain is not normal! Personally I would rather have snow than rain! And yes that is a tree in the background.. it is the ice skate tree that I keep up through January..

 Front and center is a little chalkboard ( with hopes of snow !) Lots of Little snowmen decorate the tray, with lots of flocked and icy looking greenery ..

 The mason jars on top are filled with greenery and tied with red gingham fabric ribbons..

 I do love changing this tray out for all the seasons and holidays.. it goes between this spot on the table and the end of the kitchen counter..

 The kitchen hutch has also got a snowman theme .. My snowmen don't come out with the Christmas decorations.. they have their own season which is now !

 I loved the buffalo check ribbons at Christmas and they seem very wintery to me so they stayed.. Pretty soon it will be time to switch it all up for spring! But for now "Let it Snow!"

A January Finish

 Good morning!
January Prairie Schooler is finished! I put the last few stitches in this morning and had to get it mounted and put on the chest in the foyer..

 I used blue check homespun on the bias for the backing..and both the stitching and blue homespun are mounted on sticky board..then glued together with small pieces of sheet metal on the back to attach to the magnets that I have glued to the frame. It is so easy to change It out monthly..

There is greenery .. small glitter houses..pine cones.. plaid and black check ribbons..snowflakes..a vintage scale..and a pedestal plate.. the January stitching is on a stack of coverless books...

Last year I stitched March through August ..Sept, Oct. and Nov. I didn't really like so I won't be stitching those so that leaves February and December to get stitched!

A Chalkboard Winter Mantel

Good morning!
When Christmas is over.. I can't go cold turkey on all the trees and lights.. so... The snowman tree in the family room stays up through January ..

The white and flocked garlands stay on the mantel with a couple of the glitter houses.. the chalkboard got changed up from Christmas to winter..

I saw a photo on Instagram with a pillow like this and sent it to my daughter who got a Cricut  cutting machine for Christmas.. she brought me this yesterday ..she cut the words out with her Cricut using iron on vinyl and ironed it on this pillow .. love it so much!

Hope you are staying warm and cozy! It's an icy mess here .. I would rather have snow! Have a wonderful weekend!

A Winter Finish

Happy Tuesday.. Hope 2017 has started out great for all of you!
I finally got around to finishing this Country Cottage Needleworks Winter that I finished stitching on New Year's Day..

It's on display in the kitchen using a clipboard frame I got on clearance at Michael's..Love it! The colors in this one are perfect aren't they?

I used blue gingham on the bias ..and made a bow out of green gingham ripped in a strip that I tied knots in to give it more stability. I covered a button with the same blue gingham.

All 4 seasons are finished Winter.. Spring..

 Summer

Fall

Winter In the Kitchen 2016

 Good morning!
Hope you are all having a great week!
I have shown you bits and pieces of the kitchen decorated for Winter ..and I am putting all those together here..

 Of course the seasonal chalkboard ..one of my favorite decorations!

 I have a couple wintery vignettes on the counter .. the lantern is a light up wax melter from Walmart ..Love it ! a snowman plate from Goodwill and a cow creamer ( also from Goodwill !) sit on top of a white pedestal cake plate.. next to that is a wrought iron basket filled with white greenery ,a little tree,a plaid lined basket with a pedestal inside holding a glass jar with a winter scene ..( epsom salt , a truck ornament and a bottle brush tree)

 This vignette has a couple vintage chickens in a cloche ..mason jars, another cow creamer snowflakes, greenery and bottle brush trees in a wooden tray..

There is a winter chalkboard on top of the hutch with a flock of chickens and greenery ..

I keep moving the galvanized tiered tray between the table and the counter .. which do you like best? Two years ago when we did a little remodel I painted my kitchen hutch ( after I tried to  sell it on Craig's list and had no takers !) My kids didn't even want it for free :) A little homemade chalk paint and I love it ! It is another of my favorite places to decorate for the seasons! I am going to paint my kitchen table ..not liking the oak at all .. trying to decide the same cream as the hutch or the grey I used inside the hutch .. Hoping to get that done in the next week! So what do you think ? Grey or cream ?

 This was it in all its oak glory :)

 Much better now! I filled it with snowman ..snowman plates , transferware with a winter scene and of course some chickens ..Those Little snowman cups were 99 cents at the Goodwill .. I also keep moving that Winter stitchy wreath between the hutch and the wall ..

The galvanized tiered tray ..another favorite seasonal decoration spot..okay all the decorations are my favorites!

Love all the cute snowmen! For the past couple years the snowmen have not come out with the Christmas decorations ..I save them for January and February ..

 This vignette has one of my vintage scales , a snowman plate and cookie jar ..another cow creamer ( they keep multiplying !), bottle brush trees, plaid ribbon, faux cotton branches and snowy greenery ..I still have 3 trees up ..the ice skate tree that you can see here is in the dining room..the snowman tree in the family room and a little tree in the foyer..still loving all the Winter decorations!The Winter Seasons in Chalk hangs on the dining room wall connected to the kitchen ..

Thanks for stopping by!
