Everywhere I look around the Summer House,
there's sights of Christmas...
Bless their hearts, they have such huge, fluffy beards and curly eyebrows,
you can hardly see their little faces...
I do LUV Mark Roberts fairies...
such works of art...
...the EGGNOG is a favorite...
and the DARK CHOCOLATE with WHITE MINT...O, HONEY
Homemade LAUNDRY SOAP, in the cutest jar...
it smells sooo good and I can't wait to wash clothes with it.
Our beautiful girl, STACY LEIGH, made the soap...she is so good
at this kind of thing...
Yes, every where we look, we see SIGHT OF CHRISTMAS
Lots of Peppermint throughout the SUMMER HOUSE....
...and what do you do with box after box of grands favorite cookies and cakes...
and you want to keep them handy thru the holidays...
and your wicker tea cart is going to be used for other things thru the holidays....
and, you think and think of how to present them openly
without opening all the tins and boxes....
You get out the adorable RED metal cart you bought
at CANTON a few years ago...
You fill it up, decorate it up and put it in a corner....
...it looks pretty, it's handy and takes up very little floor space...
still plenty of room in the dining area for 2 tables on
CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT
AND of course...
we never forget, for a split second, the real

That red cart is an inspired thing...a great extra pantry of sorts.

Why, this says 'home SWEET home"!
ReplyDeleteWow, love the shots you took. The candy canes in the glass, I just love that one the most. I have a thing for that white and red stripes. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas.
Fun post! I love how you decorated the Canton Cart! I had to laugh at your KFC post.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought of you when I drove through What a Burger today. For some reason the were really busy. So I was told to pull over to the far right lane. Which was weird but there was another car in front. They had to walk out to bring my food. It was a young guy. When he handed me my change from a 20.00 there was like .68 cents or so. I gave it to him. I heard him as he walked in the door and yelled that I had given him a tip! I smiled that something so simple made his day!
Looking like Christmas for sure . . .
ReplyDeleteLove the little read cart and the large buffalo throw . . .
My oh my, you have many Sanaa's, Eli's, fairies and things to pretty up the Guest House.

Christmas is especially beautiful and whimsical at your home!! I have been crushing on Linder white chocolate truffles, I think I am in trouble with those, they sure are delish!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like everything is ready, shining and tempting. If a cart load of cookies doesn't tempt those grands to stop by what would? I know I'm tempted! Merry Christmas sweet friend. Enjoy this week before the big event!
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas goodies cart! I could never have one at my house because I would eat from it daily. I'm the girl that eats the Christmas cookies out of the freezer! Shhhh...
ReplyDeleteLove the red cart! You are so creative to use and display it so creatively. And it is red! You have the most fun decorations. Love ya! Sheila
