Christmas in the Kitchen

Holiday parties...so much fun...
today we're in the kitchen, that I just finished decorating.
I'm just showing the "big picture" today,
because I have some fun detailed posts coming up.


I DO want to share the details on this great old spatterware bowl.



a couple of months ago I found it at Amy's Etsy Store
from All Things Home.
It was just what I'd been looking for for Christmas!






My tool caddy with blue Mason jars stays on the table.
It's usually filled with faux hydrangeas,
 and now some winter greenery.



Sitting on a red toile tablerunner from TJ's, purchased several years ago.



On top of the kitchen china cabinet


And on top of the fridge





Baby chandy above the sink



And a milk carrier full of paperwhites...
(more on them a little later)












More fun coming...

I'm linking up with:
At the Picket Fence for Christmas in the Kitchen
The Charm of Home for Home Sweet Home


I'm about done with the decorating...
I need to relax and enjoy it!
How about you?


xoxo,

    I'm interested in your collection of beautiful trays. Do you keep them out all year? I really like the curvy edges--so pretty as your backsplash.

    I love it all. So festive and delightful. What can you tell us about the cloth under the splatter bowl? I have similar cloth with blue embroidery with cream lace crocheted at the bottom. Not sure what it is for but I love it.

    Festive and Beautiful! I love your red and white bowl! Perfect for Christmas! And I could just kick myself! Last weekend, while on our trip, I saw a tin plaid "lunchbox" like yours in one of the shops we stopped in. It piqued my interest, but I couldn't imagine what I would ever do with it. I walked past it several times. I finally passed on it! It looks so pretty with your Christmas decor ...I should have brought it's twin home with me!!! :)
