The Christmas Tour Continues......

Welcome back, Glitterinas!

Let's continue our tour of all 

things holiday at 

Five Gables Farm!

Into the woods we go......

oops, I mean into the 

kitchen....

I enjoy decorating the island in here.

This year we have a feather tree with

lots of tiny silverware and mercury glass

ornaments....

This tree is standing in an old galvanized 

bucket that Papaw gave to me.

I thought it was a mini trash can, but it has a small 

spigot on the side, so I think it must have had a different purpose.

Oh well, it's purpose now is to be cute....

do you like it, Glitterinas?

One of my Christmas glitter spoons is joining the other 

shiny items on this tree....kinda cute, huh?

I am lucky to have two nice windows above my sink.

I decorate here with things that I really 

enjoy looking at everyday.

Here's a very important question....

.....and here's a few more holiday touches tucked 

around the kitchen!

Snoopy is one of my very favorite 

cartoon characters.

When Husband and I went to look at dish patterns

before we got married, my Mom asked him to 

please not let me pick out anything with 

Snoopy on it!

Boy, she had lots of confidence in my taste,

didn't she?!

Well, no Snoopy dishes for us.....

but Husband did paint some rather cute

Peanuts ornaments for me.....

Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy and the whole 

gang look very festive on their sparkly, silver 

tree!

I like the way the red berries on this garland show 

up on the white in the 

hall bathroom.

I like having touches of Christmas all 

around the house.....

.....aren't these Santas cute hanging out on the guest room bed?

Let me share just a few more pretties with you....

When I was a little girl, this elf sat on a 

kissing ball that hung in my bedroom door

every Christmas!

Now, he's the elf our grand-darlings search for

when they come to Gigi and Pop's house!

Do you remember getting these as party favors 

many, many Christmases ago?

The three smaller Santas are from my 1st, 2nd, and

3rd grade school parties.....

......the larger one always sat on our piano filled with 

little peppermint candies!

Gracious, these guys are almost as old as I am!

Glitterinas, thank you so much for taking a Christmas tour with me

and for letting me share some of my favorite 

holiday decorations with you!

Little Gingerbread Girl and I want to wish you and your

family a wonderful holiday season.....

......filled with joy, peace and many warm hugs!

Happy Birthday, Jesus!
