Candy Land Christmas Tree





Our kitchen is "beginning to look a lot like Christmas".....

The tree is decorated with all kinds of goodies.....

Look outside!  The grass is still green...the trees still have most of their leaves....this morning, I cut a rose bouquet from the garden and H picked tomatoes & peppers .....and it's the middle of November!!    Crazy!

I am carrying the Nutcracker theme from the entryway  into the kitchen...come on in and have a cup of coffee!

The Nutcracker in Candy Land.....that's what I'm calling the kitchen.

I have the tree decorated with all kinds of goodies....

I hung a beautiful piece of leaded glass in the window behind the tree...

I also hung this gorgeous crystal sun catcher that my late aunt made for me many years ago.   I have had it hanging in the entryway and realized (duh) that it does get any sun in that north window.   I think I will enjoy it much more in this south window!

I bought that sweet Santa hanging on the Hoosier at Hobby Lobby, he has such a sparkle in his eyes!

I am putting some Christmas things out on the kitchen counters, so I will be back soon to share some more pictures....

This is the harp table in the entryway with a Nutcracker Ballet vignette on it.   Here is the link if you would like to click over there to see some more pictures......http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2013/11/nutcracker-ballet.html

Make a promise to yourself to slow down this year and enjoy your holiday decorating!
