STRAWBERRIES in the KITCHEN !!

All of Christmas is taken down and packed away in the Kitchen now. I have to finish taking Christmas down in the Den then the entire downstairs will be done and I will start decorating for Valentine's Day.

But in the mean time, I thought I would show you what the Kitchen looks like now.

I set up this little vignette on the Hutch.....

I have a lot of Coca Cola items in my Kitchen along with tea pots and many other vintage things.....

My Birthday is the end of this month and when we visited my friend Anne Marie a few weeks ago, she gave me my Birthday gift from her......

She had wrapped up in cellophane a beautiful Gift Basket but in my eagerness to open it up, I forgot to take a picture of how beautiful it looked. I could really kick myself.....

The Tea pot and the 2 Tea and Toast sets are what she gifted to me along with French Vanilla Tea, Chocolate Chip Dipping Cookies, Strawberry Jam and the Adele 21 CD ( which I LOVE)!!
Thanks so much , Anne Marie!!

I do have some of my Valentine's Day candy out and the little cup cakes and pies are actually ornaments!

Love the pretty Strawberries on the Tea Pot......

And on the Tea and Toast sets....


I love how this plate is shaped.....

So dainty.....


And here is my Hutch.....

Every thing is back to normal now with Christmas put away....

I did keep the bowl of cookie cutters out.....

And of course, I have to get my candlelight shot in......

I don't know if when Anne Marie picked out the Strawberry Tea Pot and Tea and Toast Sets, if she realized how many things with strawberries I have in the Kitchen....

A picture of a basket of strawberries.....

A strawberry pie plate.....

Strawberry picks in my canning jars.....

And more on the counter bar....

See them in this arrangement.....


Just had to show you that I am using a vintage juicer as a candy dish for Joe's Candy.....
Everyone who knows us knows that Joe loves his candy.....

I might as well show you the other side of the counter bar.....
I keep my ID badge and all of my pens for work in a vintage refrigerator container...
This is what they used before Tupperware.....

I did not realize all the strawberry items that I have in the Kitchen either.....

I wanted to show you the pass through from the Kitchen into the Den which used to be my window.....

I left the garland up after Christmas as I will be hanging some hearts from it soon....

I bought the mercury glass candlesticks at Wegman's Grocery Store after Christmas on Clearance.
I decided to place my two vintage yellow fiesta ware tea cups and saucers on top of them.

I left my vintage utensil ornaments on the chandy and added a cute ornaments about Sisters that my sister gifted to me....

And in staying with the tea cup theme , I placed a wire tea cup filled with a set of 20 white lights on top of a red vase......

I also added some coca cola glasses on this shelf......



And of course, lit up.....



This is how it looks as I am sitting in my chair by the computer in the Den.....

You can see into the Kitchen.....

Stay tuned for upcoming Valentine's Day and Winter decorations.

I will give you a hint...There is still a tree on the side of the Kitchen Hutch and it is not a Valentine's Day tree.......
