Kitchen China Cupboard for Christmas

I think most of us are pretty well into the decorating.

As I've mentioned, the bigger things are finished,

now it's time to "play".

One of the areas that's fun for me is in the Kitchen.

I can go a little crazy with the vintage Putz Houses and Churches.

Since I didn't put up a big tree,

I'm using a few vintage Shiny Brites here and there.

The Transferware misfits were begging for some "sprucing up".

(I guess that qualifies for a Christmas pun, tehe)

I don't have "sets" of anything; dishes or decorations.

I just grab the little houses, churches and trees where I can find them.

Brown Transferware and Red, both happily live here in the Cupboard.

During the Fall the Brown gets center stage.

But Christmas to Valentines Day is all about the Red.

I've started collecting "White Churches", 

so several of those find their way in here:

Someday I'll surprise you with a new grouping of items up here,

but for now it's so much easier to keep what I have

and just change out the seasonal things,

like greenery, florals, and ribbon.

The Birdhouse, Chalkboard and Laundry Basket

are pretty much stuck here...

Winter Greenery, Plaid Ribbon, and a Christmas Wreath were an easy switch-up.

I love mixing Tartan Plaids, so you'll find a real variety here in the Sitting Room.

I'll be sharing the rest of the the fun in here coming up.

xoxo,
