Christmas in the Kitchen

There's not going to be a whole lot of writing right now- it takes less time to post pictures and if you're anything like me, you don't have time to read long blog posts these days.....  I'm linking up with Rednesday, I want to find time to read every post over there - I know there'll be lots of Christmas....  And, I imagine there'll be a lot of beautiful Christmas at Share Your Cup Thursday too.

Shiny Brites

I bought a couple of these at Home Sense this year - it runs by batteries, the interior colors change - red, blue, green

I was jealous of Carla's Stencil package - Carla blogged about her corner shelf too - and here you can see her stencil package.  I remember having these at home, not that I was ever allowed to spray the snow.....

I've had this tin for years but always used it for cookies, it moved above the cupboards this year.

Mom always kept her light fruitcake in this tin.

Another tin of Mom's - I have to use blocks of wood to raise up my items, you can't see them but you sure can in a picture - just to let you know, we're not looking at blocks of wood all over the place.

I found this tin last year 

I like fruitcake but nobody else here in my family does.

This beautiful piece of holiday Pyrex sits on the kitchen table but the light is so much better for getting a good picture in the livingroom..

Erica sent me this sweet Annalee Christmas mouse - so cute  - thanks!

I found this great old candy tin the other week.  This tree belonged to my grandmother, I remember putting the little ornaments on it, sadly, they're not all here anymore, I've never seen one like this before.

Just some Christmas - the pine cone people were Mom's

I'm making good use of all my little dolls with hair this year!!

I had to include this pic of my Christmas glasses -my new ones on the left which I have found out are called Christmas Valley - the ones on the right I found last year - straight from North Pole, New York
