December CupboardScape

Well friends,
we have come down to the finale
for my 2025 Christmas tour.
I sure hope you enjoyed this as much
as I did putting it all together. 


Today is also my final CupboardScape for the year.


All about the gingerbread.


To make these yummy cookies,
you need a bowl, measure cup and flour sifter.
Of course it also helps having the cookie cutter.


A handmade ginger I made eons ago.
It resides underneath my antique shoofly.
A shoofly was used to keep bugs out of food.


Here is a close up of that gingerbread man.
Paired with some faux muffins.


Rolling pin also needed.



The larger gingers I made years ago.


This metal gingerbread I bought at
Hobby Lobby.
It was red so Bob painted it for me a brown.
Then I added a different fabric ribbon and raffia.


Hung up this vintage striped stocking.


Also this ladies striped stocking.


Finished off with a bonnet,
and included two pitchers.


All on my pine cabinet here in the 
heart of our room...the kitchen.


I don't often show this angle,
but the screen door leads into
our keeping room.
When we found this old screen door,
I asked Bob to hang it here
because it remined me of the screen door
my maternal grandma had on her farmhouse.
I use to love slamming that door.
You can also partially see our stove.
In  other news,


I mentioned we were going to dinner
 on Monday night.
Santa greeted us at the door.


The entire ceiling looked like this.
It was so festive in person.
They played Christmas music and the ambiance
was just magical. 


They even had a Santa hat on 
each of the barstool chairs.
Bob had their famous Chicken in The Rough
broasted chicken,
while I had fish and chips.

So this will be my last post until January.
I want to wish everyone a 
Very Merry Christmas
and
Happy New Year!
I will continue to read everyone's blogs,
I just need to focus on the next two weeks
taking care of my mom.
I just hope all goes well.

Again I want to thank all who comment.
It is most appreciated!
Keeps me going believe it or not.

See you in all next year my friends.

Seasons Blessings To All!
Janice

  3. Don't think I've ever seen knitted stockings with a seam up the side. OMG, I can hear my great grandmother saying "don't let the door slam". My cousins and I would just go out and let go of the door so it slammed shut.

  8. A great way to end your wonderful tour Janice - love all the gingers and your kitchen is the perfect place for them to hang out. Your dinner out location does look fun and festive, especially since they let Santa dance on the table. ;-) Wishing you and Bob a very merry and joyful Christmas and your situation with your mom will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. It was exactly 3 years ago today - to the day - that I lost my mom.
