Christmas in The Kitchen

Happy Sunday! 

I love decorating our kitchen for Christmas and can't wait for you to see it!

 The galvanized tiered tray sits on the counter.. The windows are trimmed with greenery and pompoms with a wreath hanging in each one..The centerpiece on the table is a thrift store picnic basket with greenery and a glitter house.. The car and camper salt and pepper shakers were a gift from my daughter.. the table runner I made a few years ago with stamps and fabric paint..

 The chalk painted hutch is full of Santa cups.. vintage and new  .. all found at thrifty places! The cow print on top is from Hobby Lobby.. there is a pompom garland and white lights with a evergreen garland on top!

 The only tree in the kitchen is the candy cane and chalkboard tree.. it is a skinny little thing that came from Target last year but it is perfect in this spot..some of the ornaments are stitched some drawn.. The cross stitched piece is a Prairie Schooler design mounted on a metal tray..

 Love this little skinny tree with all it's red and black goodies!

 The seasonal chalkboard leads in  to the kitchen from the family room..The kitchen light gets dressed up with greenery and ornaments

 A Prairie Schooler stitched piece mounted on a grapevine wreath hangs on the hutch..

 love all the Santa's!

 This shelf has a silver tray turned chalkboard .. glitter houses ..some fabulous transferware plates and a Santa Christmas box that was a gift from my sister in law..

 The galvanized tiered tray and in the background the seasons in chalk for Christmas!

 Over by the sink this vignette has a couple Fitz and Floyd pieces,, The vintage scale, a vintage Santa cup ( got that last week in Colorado) The big Santa is Fitz and Floyd .. The wreaths in the windows are trimmed with red check bows and cotton branches..My daughter got me those cute owl salt and pepper shakers dressed in their winter clothes!

 This vignette has some vintage chickens with greenery and ornaments in this wire cloche..cows chickens and ornaments fill the tray..

 The platter is from BHG at Walmart.. the Santa server on the left is Fitz and Floyd from the Goodwill ..the big Santa sleigh is also Fitz and Floyd...chickens are from Homegoods and there is a little snow scene in a vintage blue Mason jar

Flocked Tree Love!

Happy Saturday! 

I'm here with the last of the living room trees! This flocked tree came to live here 3 Christmas's ago.. I love the way this tree looks.. there are lots of ornaments.. and it just looks so peaceful!

 This year some vintage shiny brite ornaments from my mother in law gave the tree a little color..

 Under the tree is the cross stitched nativity piece from Plum Street Samplers.. a nativity and a glittery church..

 Wreaths with flocked greenery hang in the windows..

 DIY book page ornaments .. lots of glittery deer ,, and I love this little bottle brush wreath I found at Macy's last year after Christmas for about a dollar!

 The Santa tree filled with stitched Prairie Schooler Santa's in the background..

 More of those vintage shiny brite ornaments..

The Frasier Fir 2016

I am here to share our only real tree out of the 13.. Every year we get a Frasier Fir.. This year I thought it was looking a little small .. but its pretty big.. and was big enough to hold all the ornaments..and there is a lot of ornaments.. this tree holds all the collected over the years family ornaments.. plus stitched ornaments and some vintage ornaments!

 It sits in the tree stand which gets put in a thrifted galvanized tub...there are both white lights and colored lights on the tree..

 I showed my neighbor a photo of a primitive wooden star and she said her husband could make it for me .. An hour later with a little stain and drybrushed cream color paint it was up on top of the tree. I added some faux cotton stems and red berries to finish off the star tree topper... I love it and think it looks perfect on top of the tree!

 There are 4 trees in the living room... 2 with the village and the big flocked one here on the front right..

 A Mickey ornament from Disney World..

 I found this really wide ribbon at Michael's a couple weeks ago for 70% off and used it to wind through the tree. it;s like a burlap with red glitter stripes ,,

Lots of homemade ornaments ..these 2 are both from Country Cottage Needleworks..

The Little Plaid Tree In The Foyer

Good morning!

Today I am here to share our little plaid tree in the foyer!

Last year after Christmas I found these plaid wrapped ornaments in red and green for 75 % off at Michael's .. This year I found the plaid ribbon at Hobby Lobby so the little tree in the foyer got all plaided up :) The reindeer ornaments are from Walmart .. the little white branch berries are from an Estate sale..

I put the basket with the tree in it on top of the little white stool I found at A flea market this summer..The basket is from the Goodwill...

The green cabinet is filled with Santa's .. pine cones ..a mason jar filled with a bottle brush tree..the vintage scale ..and a DIY JOY sign..

The stairs are decorated with a faux evergreen garland with real Frasier fir branches tucked in.. cotton branches, plaid ribbons, black check ribbons, and JOY letters from Hobby Lobby that I painted and distressed are hanging from check ribbons..

The Christmas Village 2016

Happy Monday!

Let's take a tour of the Christmas Village ! 

But first LOOK ! The SDSU Aztecs won another Mountain West Championship!

What a game it was ! The temperature at kickoff in Wyoming was 18 degrees! They won 27-24 .. It was so exciting! My son #91is the punter and one of his punts was 75 yards!

 On to that village :)
The village is wrapped around 2 0f the 4 trees in the living room .. The flocked tree with all the gold and lace is new this year .. I had to throw the other one away last year , and I got this one at Walmart 6-1/2 foot with lights for $60.00.. It is a gorgeous tree!

 My daughter and I made the book page tree topper a couple years ago and I still LOVE it! This tree is covered with lace and gold ornaments.. The Happy Holidays ribbon came from Michael's a few years ago..

I put each of the trees on Rubbermaid bins so that the village can go underneath it..

 My husband is in charge of the setup of the village ..and he uses boards, bins and whatever else he can find to stack the village on..

 The ice rink... Santa on the bridge greeting everyone in town..

 The village is so big.. I can't get it and both of the trees in one photo!

The Santa tree is on the other end..

Dollar Tree Santa Wreath

Good morning!

About a month ago I found this Vintage looking Santa ( wooden board ) at the Dollar Tree for you guessed it $1.00 ! I couldn't decide where to put it so it became a very inexpensive wreath!

 Remember last year I made this wreath from a Dollar Tree sign?  The reindeer wreath hangs in my downstairs powder room..

I purchased 2 flocked -pine cone-berry picks (50% off) so there  is one on each side ..from Hobby Lobby and the grapevine wreath .. I also used one faux cotton branch split into two parts( You know I love my cotton branches!).I didn't glue any of it in so I can change it out if I decide to in the future.. The ribbon is from Michael's at 70% off! Right now its hanging in the family room on the garage door.. and I love it! It took about 15 minutes from start to finish!

The Santa Tree

 Good morning!
All the Santa's are out and on the tree !

 This year these are only 2 new ones .. both of these stitched on my airline trips back and forth to football games!

 This year I added white faux fur strips that look like the trim on Santa's clothes for a little garland..I only have 3 more of the yearly Prairie Schooler Santa's to stitch .. but that's probably a good thing since the tree is really full!

 I love getting these out every year and putting them on the tree !

Ronnie's favorite spot in the living room so she can watch for all the squirrels and chipmunks!

We are off to freezing cold Laramie, Wyoming  for the Mountain West Football Championship game .. Go Aztecs!
I will be back on Sunday with more Christmas posts for you!
