The glass flour and sugar canisters get a
little sparkle with a lighted wreath
tucked behind them.
The scoops are Spode tea cups.
This year I added my Mother's old cookie
cutters to the wreath.
This counter is to the left of the stove.
This is the right side.
I repurposed empty olive oil bottles and filled
them with vegetable oil, olive oil, and vinegar.
Christmas wine stoppers on top. The old
plaid thermos was found thrifting. I think I
will fill that with hot chocolate sometime soon.
I pick up hand crocheted pot holders
whenever I find them in thrift stores.
They are usually always under $1.00.
Most of them are just 25 cents. I now
have a nice little collection of Christmas ones.
Just look at how sweet they are.
I sometimes find old Christmas tins too.
A few of the Christmas cookie jars
sit on top of the refrigerator.
We've been eating lots of Christmas cookies,
the wonderful homemade kind.
I know just who is sending cookies
and I open that package right away.
Larry takes care of any crumbs.
He sprinkles them on ice cream.
Cheers!
Lovely decoration !Wish you a Merry Christmas and may this festival bring abundant joy and happiness in your life!

Rita, I always love your kitchen! Everything is so festive. I love all the special touches you give everything, like the wine stoppers in your oil bottles. My mother had that very same oval tin with the two handles. I had forgotten about it until I saw yours! Maybe hers made it's way to a thrift store near you! I'd like to think someone is enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to put the lights on the wreath behind the glass. I am going to start collecting vintage pieces. You have inspired me. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteHi there and Merry Christmas!! Isn't it something how a simple item like a lighted wreath can make a small place so festive. I love how it looks behind the glass cannisters!
ReplyDeleteYour every post is EYE CANDY for me! I will leave my comment now and go back to look at every picture one more time before I leave!
ReplyDeleteRita, I love the wreath behind the canisters and the handmade pot holders. I'm going to start watching for those! Merry Christmas! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Rita, I'm a new visitor. I love the wreath you put behind your canisters, and especially your mother's old cookie cutters. How special. And using the Spode teacups as scoops is such a great idea. I also like how you used old olive oil bottles with Christmas stoppers. I never would have thought of that. It's a great idea. Everything looks so lovely and festive. Can't wait to look around some more!
