Christmas in the Kitchen

Since I broke my foot, my darling hubby has done most of the decorating, but I thought I would tweak the kitchen just a bit.  

I love Mrs. Santa and her little helper Miss Mousie.  They are all ready to cook up tons of good stuff for us to eat.


 Since food is my theme, I placed a faux cupcake on my antique scale.  I love the little Mouse and her sweet little apron and bonnet have lots of stockings, packages and candy canes on them.


Love her cute little tail with the bow too.

 A little red ribbon tied to a topiary fills in the space nicely.


 On the back counter, my little angel keeps watch over the kitchen in my favorite rooster cloche.


Santa took over the back corner- - - 


Mr. Santa Chef is arriving in his golden sleigh filled with tons of goodies. 


 A brass candy scale filled with faux donuts and a bundle of wheat.


Santa Chef is a Goodwill find from last year.  Isn't he just the cutest ever!!


 He's surrounded by all kinds of fruit, flowers, pinecones and pulled by some sassy roos.

Just some fun and whimsey for Christmas.    


Now let the baking begin.  Are you knee deep in flour too?

My friend Barb from The Everyday Home has a fabulous online shop and she is having a wonderful 2 day sale, Dec. 14th and 15.  So be sure to click on over to the Farm House Decor Shop to browse and shop for some of the most unique and beautiful french/farmhouse decor and furniture you will ever see.

    So sorry to hear you broke your foot. I don't think I read that in earlier entries. Your kitchen is very welcoming. Mine alas is a mess with all the Christmas preparations going on. I'm hoping that by Christmas Day it'll be looking much better.

    Love it Marty. I just smile everytime I see your rooster with his cute gingham ribbon. So festive and pops off the white. It will be fun in there to bake. Enjoy.

    Your Santa chef is so cute and a Goodwill find to boot!! I hope your foot is better soon. There is never a good time to have a bum foot but during the busiest time of the year is the absolute pits!! Your kitchen looks great.

    Your kitchen looks great! And I am so sorry that your broke your foot. A year ago I fell and broke my wrist and had extensive surgery. It's been a long year coming back. I'm not 100% but I am so thankful that I am able to use my hand to do the things I love this year.

    Marty, your Christmas in the kitchen is so charming! I'm so sorry to hear you have broken your foot. Not fun anytime but especially at this time of year. I've been laid up too with my back so my decorating has been cut back about ninety-five per cent this year. Heal up quickly and have a lovely week.

    Christmas blessings,
    Sandi
