I like a little whimsy in the kitchen, it's the favorite place for my great-grandson to be.
I've already shown you the island.
And this side of the counter with the Ragmop Santa and the Toy cloche.
Since eating is a huge part of Christmas, the corner needed a couple of changes.
A little vino to drink and fruit of all kinds.
Cheese is always good with a little champagne from the chef.
Then of course "sweets" are the best of all. A fun assortment of faux sweets under a cloche.
Don't forget the Christmas Cloche Party on the 10th. We always have so much fun. If you don't have a cloche, remember, hurricanes, apothecary jars or anything you can decorate inside or under is great.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I always appreciate your visits.









WooHooness! Your kitchen looks wonderful! Good for you! I've just taken all of my Fallness down yesterday and now I'm trying to decorate for Christmas. Tree is up but that's it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your corner vignette! I may borrow your idea of all the fruit in your little metal bowl. I love that.
be a sweetie and how is your MIL?

Looks great Marty!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I don't start decorations until the weekend before - yep, I know I'm Scrooge!
Marty, trying to get inspiration & momentum - going to start decorating this weekend. "just no tree this year" :( we will not be home & time is running out. Your kitchen island is sooo cute - I know the grreat-grandson enjoys being in the kitchen with you - have a wonderful Christmas.
