I dressed the chandelier that is over the island in a more simple fashion this year.

And I shall leave you with this image of what greeted me when I awoke this morning..

Have a wonderful day!

    As always, so much to see. I like how you have your yelloware bowls displayed. Mine are all in a cabinet, unused and unseen, as they fit nowhere in my house but were perfect when we had our house in Galveston. Which was of a totally different style.

    I don’t think I can read another of your Christmas posts LOL. Each time I do, it inspires me to go dig in my bins and bring out a few more of my decorations. And by the way, I don’t think you should scale down your tree. It is magnificent and the focal point of your entire Christmas display.

    What a gorgeous sight to wake up to, Shirley. My favorite part of Christmas- the lights at dawn and dusk. Everything looks gorgeous- You did a great job and I can almost smell the cinnamon in the background! xo Diana

    Your kitchen is beautiful … I would probably never leave. Your vintage items are so unusual and go so well in your kitchen. Got a lot of ideas, but will have to wait till next year as I am done decorating.
    Simply beautiful – thanks so much for sharing.

    You are a master decorator! I love the dozens of Christmas touches in your kitchen. That milk jug filled with “snow” was the sweetest surprise. What an amazing tree, Shirley! You really captured it at it’s best! Beautiful!

    Magnifique, my dear! Simply magnifique! I love the little touch of the “snow” in the milk bottle. How neat!!! GREAT idea to add that bejeweled piece to the top of the tiered stand!!! It really dresses it up! The whole vignette on the countertop is terrific, and I LOVE that little sign!!! I will have to copy that…not that Ramon would pay attention! ๐Ÿ™‚ All he knows is that he wants his 3 squares a day…no matter WHO has to cook them! ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚
