Gathering some things....

 Good Morning All!

Last night I was going through some Christmas things that I'd been gathering

to do a "new" theme in the kitchen...thinking of calling it Candy Land...hmm...

so I took out this Santa that I ordered for Avon a few months ago he'll lonely

because I waited to late to order Mrs.Clause and she had sold out...ahhhhhh!

got this snowman toilet seat cover at Bed Bath & Beyond this past weekend..

I have seen these in catalogs before and always wanted one....

I'm thinking of doing a tree in the kitchen a small to medium sized one and

use these ornaments to go along with my theme..got them at the Dollar

Tree 4 ornaments for a $1 you can't be it right? :)

I know these are kitchen snowman towels...but I'm actually thinking

about using them in the bathroom with the snowman seat cover, I don't

think my kids will notice!

The candy stripped paper plate came from Walmart and I was thinking

about incorporating them into the decor/theme some how & besides

they were cheap! I'm looking into getting some real candy stripped

plates and using those also...I don't know if y'all have noticed but those

plates and the whole "Candy Land" seem to be "in" now...

love...love these little trees...one morning  I stopped by a yard sale to look around
and happened to notice this box on the ground under a table..it was filled with
these trees! i couldn't believe it! so I got as many as i could :)

ok...here's my dilemma....


i'm debating  about maybe doing some sort of Christmas scene in this red cabinet...
there is an outlet behind it and I could plug all sorts of things up!:) maybe cover
the inside with some wrapping paper...use some "fake"snow..put in a village???

now the idea with these peppermint lights is to maybe use them outside on my
toparies...not sure tho'...OH! I could do a tree inside the red cabinet and use
them on that tree...hmmm I'm gonna have to think about this some more..
well in the meantime...Have a good weekend !!!

Happy Decorating,

Fall decorations for the kitchen....

This is a red cabinet my sister-in-law gave us...well me! you know men
don't care about stuff like this! :) and I just love it... she had it sitting in her
garage ....can you believe it...I was so happy to get it....

and.... its one of the many things that I decorate when the seasons change...



got the pumpkin vine at Hobby Lobby..wanted one last year and waited too
late.... as I often do...

I have another vine in the family room which i'll post later...






aren't these chickens cute! got them last year on clearance from my
other FAVORITE store...Pier 1 !!!










see this cabinet was screaming for some decorations!



on to the kitchen...would love to do something with the cabinets...paint
them a color but my husband might not be to happy..

wouldn't they look good painted RED....WHITE...or if i had the nerve BLACK? :)




and YES...crossing my fingers for stainless steel appliances one day!







see the pumpkin tucked in? got them (there another one across the room)
at Hobby Lobby and if you could see the back of it it's empty...it's cut in half
if you can imagine...hollow on the other side so it can be hung on a wall...
neat huh? I thought so for $6.....









pumpkin on the other side that I was telling you about...


sign says GIVE THANKS...got it at Fred's on clearance last year...


need to glue the stem back on this pumpkin...it's been tossed around
in the attic...:)








just HAD to have a red tea kettle..















I'm really enjoying blogging more that I thought I would..maybe it's
giving me a sense of accomplishment...

I hope you all enjoy the pictures and will continue to have a blessed week!
