Click HERE if you missed that post!!
UPDATE:
Not long after I posted this post, I got a call from my dear friend Anne Marie's husband Tony....
That God took my dear friend, Anne Marie, home to Heaven on Sunday......
Heaven gained another Angel....
She put up a good fight but it was a fight that she could not win....
Please Click HERE to read about the secret I was keeping, respecting her privacy, since last June....
This was one last gut punch that the year 2024 had to get in....
I am continuing my Stock Up Plan in anticipation of the proposed tariffs which will raise prices on just about everything...
I placed an order to Sam's Club stocking up on some over the counter medication, especially nasal spray and Tylenol Sinus medication...
And all my flavored Creamers!!
576 creamers.....
I believe this should last me about 7 months....
Today, I will be starting my Tour of the Kitchen decorated for Winter....
I am continuing my slow change over from Christmas to Winter/Valentine's...
This is what this wall looked like for Christmas....
I will be starting where I usually do...with this wall that serves no purpose except for me to decorate it........
I always say this is the focal point of my Kitchen....
On the left side of the hutch....
I added a small red cardinal to this shelf....
I switched out the Christmas apron, that hung here, with a Valentine's one...
On the chalkboard that a co worker gave to me....
A vintage Lefton red cardinal pitcher....
On the left side of the hutch above the Tree....
The star, hanging on the side of the hutch, was gifted to me by my nieces....
And I made the snowman sign....
I decorate this Tree with birds, primarily red cardinals, for Winter....
I hung a red cardinal above the Tree.....
I topped it off with a bow made from a red plaid and a red cardinal ribbon....
I tucked some red berries, a snowflake and a bird into the top of the Tree....
I also used bird houses.....
Red hearts....
Crocheted snowflakes.....
And I tucked white buffalo snow into the Tree....
A lantern with red cardinals on it....
A red cardinal tea set that Joe bought in Wegman's....
Along with a mini red cardinal tea set....
I bought the quilted place mat with birds on it at the now closed Country Folks Gift Shop....
Another lantern with cardinals on it....
I like to decorate under the desk area too....
A Valentine's heart hangs from the drawer knob...
I placed a red place mat with a white snow flake on it over the vintage metal picnic basket...
A tea pot with birds on it was a church flea market find.......
I made the snowmen out of clay pots....
The snowman cutting board was a gift from my nieces....
To the right of the hutch....
And another red cardinal on the other shelf that my Dad made...
Valentine's towels hang on the side of the stove....
I tucked a Winter floral bush into the vintage Planter's Peanuts can that holds my rolling pin and masher collection...
And this is where I will leave off for today....
In my next post on THURSDAY, I will continue sharing how I decorated the Kitchen for Winter with a touch of Valentine's...
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

So many special touches! I love the mix of snowmen, hearts and cardinals! The cardinals, especially, brought a smile to my face! So many sweet reminders of your Joe!
ReplyDeleteLove all the black and white dinner wear. Lovely touches every wear.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb..lovely touches in your pretty kitchen!
ReplyDeleteHugs...Barb
I'm really sorry about your friend. That's so hard. #TalkaboutitTuesday
ReplyDeleteOh, how I wish I could visit and see this in person. I love the way the black and white check contrasts with the bright red. Love all the Cardinals and the Valentines. Everything is just perfection. I would love to see what you store it all in. I went all out in my kitchen until about 3 years ago and then just ran out of space to keep everything. My husband was never a big fan. Anyway. Love the desk and all the snowmen. And the the soft candlelight. Just precious.
