A Very Merry Christmas in the Holiday Cupboard

Hello there friends. I know you all are feeling it too, just one week till Christmas and it seems I don't have everything accomplished that I've wanted to do. I still have a few pics to share from around the house. Here we are in the Garden Room where the Holiday Cupboard is my fun spot to decorate. So I'm squeezing it in with a few more posts around the house next week. 

This year, I just went with my love for my little houses and churches. I have some of my collection on the Christmas Sideboard in the Hearth Room, but the rest of them ended up here along with old tins, nativity lambs, and red transferware.

My smaller ironstone tureens live here year round, but the transferware changes up with the seasons. It's Christmas, so the red is showing off this month. The red transferware is a little harder to find in our area. Brown is much easier to find, so I'm always on the hunt for anything in Red. Most of my transferware collections are a mismatched hodgepodge, but it's great that they all mix and match.

No matter when I start decorating, it seems I'm tweaking 

and changing things up until it's time to take it all down.

The coffee table/bench is an example.

I started out with this old enamel spongeware bowl with pinecones...

and then I fiddled it into this.

But that's part of the fun of decorating with vintage goodies.

Here's another look at the area of the room that I don't show vey often.

Have a great weekend, everyone. 

Are you all finished with all your Christmas preparations?

I think winter has finally hit us.

We've had rain and frozen our booties off all day Friday.
