ITS A SWEET TEA N' SALTY AIR CHRISTMAS






















Welcome home to Christmas! Christmas is the heart melting season, a time for rejoice, love and awarness of what family and friends really mean  to all of us. Here we celebrate the birth of Jesus and that includes brightly lit fresh pine trees, sweet baked goods and togetherness .



Had a great time with a heavy plastic flanel backed tablecloth, fun to sew and made so many things such as the bunting in the front with a huge bow to match.

A Faux Wood Stove For My Rust Oleum Contest Entry!

Hi there, come on in to my fishing shanty, wink wink. That was my title for my contest entry, subject was Let there be Light. So first things first ...gatherd all my items needed. A no longer needed 2 drawer night stand, that would soon be the star of this fun project. Other items included were a piece of plexeglass thst would become the door along with a few scraps of wood, a seen better days iron dish drainer that would be a log holder. Lots of Rust Oleum paints, some empty cereal boxs that would become logs. Also an old iron candleholder that would decorate the door. A string of led warm lights that would set the scene for the warm and light.  First things first...cut out the interior of the night stand .


 I also added a dryer vent tube, also a string of mittens to dry by the warmth made from an old sweater.



It sure was fun creating this contest entry and added so much joy to my holiday season! Thanks so very much for stopping in

 I really like the shutter style doors and the fact it is wood I decided on a red . The best part is I can have all my mess of kitchen gadgets and stow away fresh baked goods until I am ready to serve them. When I want I can close the doors and have a n






I white washed the inner doors and used a wood rocking tool , hung things for fun and use on both inner doors.  That's a triple batch of Swigger sugar cookie doe in the making.

 I strung some lights and attached my cookie cutter collection favorites.

 I had fun decorating the corner aside the cabinet I used my vintage ladder as a start and added some greenery , tin animals some cozy blankets some trees I crafted and sold in my shop And my wooden vintage bread box is chilled to the brim with snowballs for sale wink wink!
 And grandmas sifter , cant forget about that.







 A rag wreath that I crafted and sold similar in my shop.
 Everything at my finger tips. I had a shelf that fit perfect so I was able to display my favorite Christmas dishes. The bottom hold al my baking dishes, tins and what nots.
