I Will Honour Christmas In My Heart

I will honour Christmas in my heart,
and try to keep it all the year.
I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future.
The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me.
I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!

 The Kitchen is decorated in a Candy and Gingerbread theme for Christmas.....
We will start with this wall........

On the side of the hutch, is Tree #11!!
This 4 1/2 foot Tree is decorated with candy, gingerbread and kitchen ornaments!!
It is topped with a bow made of red and white ribbon and candy picks tucked into the top!!
There are 2 different sets of peppermint candy lights on the Tree!!
A pair of child's skates rest at the base of the Tree.....
Next to the Tree on a stand is a Mr. Christmas Ball ornament that lights up and plays 10 different Christmas Songs!!
Back to this wall that is the focal point of the Kitchen........
On the shelf ( that my Dad built) to the left of the hutch......
One of a set of vintage Salt and Pepper Shakers and some Christmas picks tucked in here and there.....
On top of the hutch are my Kitchen Santa's!
A Bow and a large candy cane hang in the center of the hutch......
Top Shelf......
Middle shelf....

Candy Bar on the Bottom Shelf.....
Santa's Sweet Shop!!
All these jars were bought at yard sales, flea markets and thrift shops!!
We are not tempted to eat any of the candy because I use it from year to year!!

Looking over at another wall in the Kitchen.....
The sofit......
This was a blank chalkboard that I bought for 80% off at Michael's and I copied the design of this ornament......
On the counter top.......
A silver tray from Dollar Tree that I spray painted both with chalkboard paint and red spray paint.......
A lighted Santa planter in the corner......
My Coffee and Tea Bar.....

  3. Love love love it all! What is cheerier than red in a kitchen at Christmas time? There are too many things vying for an 'I especially like' mention. The lady head planter - fabulous! The crocks with the rolling pins - AWESOME.
    So glad you took the time to share on your blog with all you've got going on. You always lift my spirits.

  9. Debbie, I can get lost and caught up in touring your kitchen, there are so many cute things to look at, the snowman teapot caught my eye and the Apple canisters remind me of my aunt, she had a set like that when I was growing up.

    Loving the Christmas season!!

    Thank you for being a frequent visitor of Oh My Heartsie Girls parties to share your blogs.

    Wishing you and your husband a very Merry Christmas!!

  18. Debbie, I'm stopping by to wish you a very merry Christmas! I need to follow your example and use only candy that is over a year old. I'm guilty of dipping into the candy containers this time of year. Ha!
    Your kitchen candy land is full of treats! Merry, Merry!
