Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!
I am so happy you decided to stop by my Christmas Blog!!
The majority of my Christmas decorations are placed in the same room every year and I know that this is not what most Decorator's care for but to me, it like seeing old friends again when I decorate each year for Christmas as many of my decorations were gifts from family and friends...........
I do try to add a few new things and change up things a bit but for the most part, these decorations are part of my Christmas Traditions and bring back a lot of treasured memories.....
I made my Dad's recipe for Sausage Filling on Wednesday afternoon.....
Never again!!!!
It was just too big and a hassle for us to handle.....
For years, I got a larger turkey breast until 3 years ago when Joey won a whole turkey.....
Since then, he talked me into doing a whole turkey for Thanksgiving.....
You can tell by the look on Joe's face that he is a bit perplexed as to where to start to carve!!!
Love this picture of my boys!!
Giving kisses!!
You can tell that she has Joe wrapped around her little paw!!!
We go several mornings a week to leave her out when Jim and Danielle are at work as they leave at 3 am.....
I finished decorating our entire house before Thanksgiving so I had to decorate our car a bit too!!!
And Joe bought himself a pair of Christmas slippers so of course, I had to get a pair too!!!
Mine have jingle bells on them so I "jingle" when I walk!!!
Yes, they say "Get Lit"!!!!
LOL!!
I want to wish our son, Jim , and his wife, Danielle, a very Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary today on the 28th!!
Today, I will be showing you the rest of my Kitchen decorated in a Candy and Gingerbread theme....
In my last post, I shared my Sweet Treat Christmas Tree and Hutch in the Kitchen.....
Click HERE if you missed that post....
We will start here where I left off at the stove....
On the side of the stove.....
You may remember that I re-did the sign in the corner hanging on the soffit.....
It originally looked like this......
I "dabbled" with it a bit.....
You can read about it HERE if you like......
Underneath it, I hung this lid from a cookie tin.....
I won this cute gingerbread stocking in a Blog Giveaway....
Bought this sign last year in Gabes......
Hanging above the stove on the tile......
I thought it was only fitting to move the "Fresh Daily" enamelware sign here above the stove....
I made the valance last year from vintage fabric.....
I hung candy cane and lollipop ornaments......
I hung a "Sweet" sign and a bow made from candy cane ribbon above the chandy......
I placed candy canes in the cup chandy that I made and hung ribbon candy ornaments and peppermint candy ornaments from the arms of the chandy......
On what used to be the sill of the window.....
Santa Salt and pepper shakers......
Red and white trees......
In the center is my other Kitchen Tree......
It is a vintage Tree that I found in my neighbor Elly's attic which I placed in a vintage red and white enamelware pot, also from my Elly's house....
I decorated it with candy ornaments and also a candy garland.....
I lit it with battery operated lights.....
I topped it with a vintage copper cookie cutter.....
The right side.....
I thought this sign from Gabes was the perfect sign to hang above my Beverage Bar.....
Hanging on one of the cabinet doors is a wreath that I just made......
In the corner.......
My Christmas Beverage Bar......
Joe had to go out and buy our 4th Brew Master after he just could not get used to having a coffee pot with a carafe!!!
A snow man tea pot that a friend gifted me....
Our Christmas mugs....
Candy trees.......
Peppermint candy covers from a light set that no longer works......
I hung a cute gingerbread cookie ornament on the lamp shade.....
On the door of the refrigerator are felt magnets that I made as a child, tracing them from a coloring book.....
I think I was 10 years old!!!
Above the door way into the Dining Room......
The counter bar......
On the side of the counter bar......
I filled the hanging copper baskets with candy ornaments and candy canes.....
The garland above the counter bar......
Red and white candles on the red mercury glass candle sticks.....
I could not find a plaid runner I liked so I used a rag rug......
A candy cane fabric place mat made by the woman who was my Co Chairperson when I ran our church's Craft Fairs.....
I made the curtain from vintage Christmas fabric.....
On the side of the counter bar.....
I simply wrote "Sweet Treats" and hung 2 ornaments from the chalkboard as my artistic painting skills leave much to be desired.....
A vintage masher and mason jars......
And that completes my tour of my Sweet Treat Christmas Kitchen!!!
My Kitchen decorated for Christmas is one of my favorite rooms of the house!!!
Next up on my Christmas Home Tour will be the Dining Room.....
Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

So many fun treasures to peek at in your home, Debbie. It's always a joy to visit.
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun tour. I will be back to take a long look. There is too much to see all at once! Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving! The puppy is so sweet. I'll be back around. Have a great week. I know you read did you see my book deals over the weekend?
ReplyDeleteYour car is just adorable! I always smile when I see a vehicle decorated for Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tour of Santa's Sweet Shoppe. Everything looks so lovely and you gave me so many wonderful ideas to incorporate into my decorating. I love the vintage tree in the enamelware pot. It looks and sounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well. I have never tried dressing with sausage; it sounds very yummy. I so appreciate you sharing your home and crafty ideas, Debbie. You are always an inspiration. Look forward to the dining room tour. Hugs, Melisa
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, Debbie. And so glad you could be with your family, including the newest member! The beverage bar is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteAw, Debbie...totally love everything, but the little girl baking lid---so adorable, and love your signs, and the gingerbread land!!! So, adorable. Nice to see you could share your Thanksgiving. We are so tightly locked down here, we had to throw our dinners out the car windows to the kids. Still pondering what I'll do inside for Christmas with only the two of us---LOVE visiting your home, though! HUGS, Sandi (still not getting notifications) ???
ReplyDeleteJust love your kitchen and the gingerbread house and candy shop theme. Adorable and so is that puppy. :-)

Oh what a fun tour through your delightful kitchen! What a fun Christmas "field trip". Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have a link party on Sundays called "Sundays on Silverado" and I'd love it if you'd share your lovely Christmas decor there!

Your sausage stuffing sounds great. My Polish grandmother always used sausage in her stuffing; it adds a lovely flavor. I enjoyed looking at all the details of your kitchen; you did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteKathy,

What fun slippers! Thanks for sharing your cute gingerbread land at Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteThat puppy just won over my heart! Loved reading your post, Debbie. Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJ's.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much Christmas goodness and fun here, Debbie! Looking at all of the photos would get anyone into the Christmas spirit. And, Faye is adorable! We have a 15 year old Yorkie who has us wrapped around her paws, too! I'm featuring this post tomorrow at the TFT party. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie. I always have a very hard time decorating the kitchen, to the point its not fun for me really. You post gave me so many ideas, I especially loved the black chalkboard coffee station.
