December CupboardScape

Hello my friends.

Today will be my last post of the year.

Thank you all again for another wonderful year.

 

I bought this stocking on the antique trail

this past August.

Bob made the tree from an old door.

He sold quite a few again in all sizes.

I decided to keep one.

He also made the sign.

We sold these back some 15 years ago.

Making memories is so very important to me.

In other news,

it was a rainy chilly day yesterday.

Even Tundra did not want to stay out very long.

Our family Christmas was great.

We enjoyed telling stories and laughing.

I hope everyone enjoyed my 2024 

 Christmas decor.

Another year n the books.

I will be away from blogging until the  

New Year...

however I will pop in ad visit all of you

that post in the coming weeks.  

Plan on doing  whatever I choose

on my vacation...but I do have plans.

My hope is that everyone has a very

Merry Christmas

and

Happy New Year!

Holiday Blessings To All!

A Keeping Room Christmas

 Today's post is our keeping room.

I always call this my untraditional Christmas.

No red Christmas items in this room. 

Only my chairs and stone fruit have red in them.

Hope you enjoy this look.

Not all Santa's have to be red.

Just love the white and orange.

Close up of my tree.

Oranges, browns and golds.

This is why I wanted to get this stitch piece finished.

I bought this brown ribbon on the antique trail.

It was a steal for $2.00.

I placed it most everywhere.

Even the basket by my chair got a little festive.

In other news,

Thursday morning I got a call from my mom

that she lost power.

I left work early and Bob and I 

went and picked her up.

There is no way I would let my mom

freeze in her own home.

It was 19 degrees when we left her house.

Our family Christmas party is today.

She will stay with us until Wednesday now.

Hope everyone is getting ready for their

own Christmas festivities.

Have a magical weekend my friends.

Warm Weekend Blessings To All!

A Kitchen Christmas

 Hello friends!

Today I have a few pics of my kitchen.

Did you spot him from the last pic?

This was the cabinet I purchased on the antique trail

back in August.

Since I found my mule chest,

decided to put this one in here for now...

until Bob gets out laundry room done. 

The Christmas tablecloth has been washed

and ready to go.

I made these gingerbreads eons ago.

Decided this year to put all of my antique Santas

that I have thus far here with my bowls & pitchers.

Top of the refrigerator.

A lil display by the sink.

This is a Red Bird coffee jar from the 1940's.

In other news,

not sure what is going on with blogger now?

My blog roll has folks I followed years ago,

which are now coming up in my feed.

These bloggers have not posted for years.

While my newest bloggers I have followed

seem to have disappeared.

I so apologize for not commenting.

If anyone has any suggestions  on why this has happened.

would greatly appreciate it.

Counting down the days now 

to both Christmas (13) and my vacation (5).

Looking forward to both!

Well off to work.

Christmas Is Coming Blessings To All!

Drysinks For The Holidays

 Hope everyone is enjoying the pics thus far.

Today's display is on our drysinks

by the front door and hall area.

This is one of my antique feather trees.

This year I added my antique spun cotton fruit.

Maybe Santa will get me a few more tis year.

Another elf for the kids to find.

The lid lifts up for when someone would have

cleaned their dishes.

 This is why it is called a drysink.

One would clean their dishes with a rag...no water.

Below is a feather basket, pantry box

and a blue bucket.

Now for the opposite side.

A daylight pic with the sun peeking in.

Do you spot another elf?

I do realize I took this pic now before my tree

was completely trimmed.

So sorry about that.

It is is just trimmed in homespun ornaments this year.

A simple one.

Santa decided to go into the pipe holder...

instead of the chimney. [wink wink ]

In other news,

I had not heard they were 

getting rid of Windows 10.

My newest computer has that program on it.

Will need to check with the Geek Squad

when I go there.

Will let you know then Saundra.

I am on vacation starting December 18th

thru the New Year.

Looking forward to it and will be unwinding.

Yesterday morning my drive into work

was both rainy and foggy.

Not the best conditions for driving in the dark.

Hopefully it will be better this morning.

Well off to get ready.

Pre Holiday Blessings To All!
