Red & White Christmas in the Kitchen

                                                             Happy weekend!
                   
                                        It seems like December is speeding by
                                        and before we know it Christmas will be
                                        here.
                                            I am still enjoying putting some Christmas
                                         touches here and there in our home but mostly
                                         just enjoying the cozy ambiance.

Our kitchen/dining room has  my collection

of red and white transferware china all year

so it only takes a few little touches of greenery

and mini lights to five it a festive look.

Little details

I love this little cup and

saucer holder for displaying

my china.

A few bits of greenery added

to my shelf displaying some

        of my red and white transferware

and I am all set .

Transferware platters with small trees

and a Christmas Blessings wooden rope.

                                           Well just a little peak at a few Christmas
                                                     touches in our kitchen.

                                                            I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

A Rustic Fireside Tea

           Hello everyone,

We went from very mild weather to a cold

but sunny day here today.

After, our walk it was nice to come

back indoors and have a hot cup of

tea by the fireside.

Our family room has a more rustic look

now as we replaced our old fireplace

with a large propane stove a couple of

years ago and we added the rustic pine

boards to the wall behind.

Our summer cottage is all white so

having a warm rustic look in our

family room gives us a cozy place

to enjoy on cold winter days for a change.

I love the old snowshoes that

     I bought at a yardsale a few years ago.

Sheep sugar cookies and a cup

of tea by the fireside with my

blue and white transferware.

Plaids and furry throws to

cozy up in.

We got a bit of snow again after

the rain we had a few days ago.

My planters look so much

better with a little snow on

       the evergreens and winter berries.

Hope to be back soon with more

Christmas  pics.

My husband and I took a trip to

Quebec City last week to enjoy

all the beautiful Christmas  decor

in Old Quebec......so I will share

a few pics of our trip as well.

Hope you are enjoying the season!
