Kitchen Christmas Decor - Update 2015

Welcome back to my holiday kitchen!  Read on to see what's new this year....




New Ornaments

This year's additions to the candy tree included a couple of pink and white candies and a few snowflakes.

The candies were found at Wal-Mart for $1 - Baby Girl and I each got one of these.

The snowflakes came as a surprise in my package of decorative cookies that I received from the Oodlekadoodle store (on eBay).  I already had two little gingy figures and an artificial peppermint that I decided to glue into the center of the snowflakes.  The small additions really helped the snowflakes blend in to my candy tree.

Like these snowflakes?  I saw them in packs of six at Dollar Tree.  Leave them plain or upgrade as you wish.

Peppermints

These peppermint salt and pepper shakers look adorable displayed with jars of faux candy canes and gingerbread men.  The shakers were a treasure hunting find at .50 for the set.

Gingy Towel

I received this towel as a gift from my parents last Christmas.  Since it contains a recipe in the design, I made sure to lay it out flat next to one of my gingy boxes.

Gingy Rug

This rug was a birthday gift this year, also from my parents.  I think it looks absolutely perfect in front of the stove!

Gingy Table Cloth

Another birthday gift, this table covering is absolutely adorable!  I loved the way it looked on the kitchen table...until I realized that if I left it there it would be completely stained up by the end of the day.  The Little Man does his best, but those not-quite-two-year-old hands tend to spill and drop quite a bit ;)

I decided to be really clever and use it as a Christmas tree skirt instead.  That way it could still be out and enjoyed in the kitchen, but stay much cleaner.  

Or at least I thought so anyway....The Little Man finished his snack....climbed down from his chair....walked over to the tree skirt....picked up a  corner of it....and proceeded to use it as a giant napkin and wipe his entire face!  Sigh....:D

Gingy Cloth Tree Skirt

Here is the table cloth turned tree skirt complete with our stuffed gingy family.  Once the face wiping fiasco was over, the cloth has stayed nice and tidy :)
