An old white box...a bare spot & a plate rack...

Morning..... been busy in the kitchen adding bits of this and that for Christmas..went to a wonderful tag sale on Sunday and found this old white box.....I love it!!!!

I had been wanting something special for my island and this is it....

One thing led to another and I decided to add some holiday cheer to "the waste of space" above the cupboards...do you look there in other peoples kitchens I know I do ?!

Then I went down the basement and got the plate rack John made for me last year...

it fits perfectly above the stove...don't know why I ever took it down...well thats all I wanted to show you...going for a walk now to see if I can ~~steal some more greenery from somewhere~~....I mean find some greenery lying about somewhere....; )

So glad you came by...I love reading the notes you leave me....xoxo

What a beautiful plate rack! Love the way you displayed your pretty treasures. It's looking a lot like Christmas at your place...

Linda said...: Greetings, Chrissy!

This is my very first visit to your on-line home. I love your style and presentation of your blog. I very much enjoyed my time with you today and will return.

Your photo of the white box inspired me to paint one of my Dad's old wooden boxes and fill it with greenery for the holidays. What a beautiful idea!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
