As I mentioned in Monday’s post<\/a>, I am doing minimal Christmas decorations this year because we will be traveling.\u00a0 However, since our kitchen<\/a> already has plenty of red<\/a> in it anyway, I added a little Christmas with some items I had on hand.\u00a0 It’s simple with just the right amount of holiday cheer.<\/h3>\n

\"Kitchen<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

My friend Randy gave the little Spode plate to me last year, the cow creamer was a hostess gift from Jordan, and the red and white napkins are from the wedding rehearsal party<\/a>.\u00a0 All together, they make Christmas.\u00a0 By the way, I am a tradionalist and like my red and green for Christmas decorations.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Kitchen<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This red pail holds the kitchen utensils every day.\u00a0 I paired it with a holiday plate (a hostess gift), a teeny tin, a red and green dish towel ( a hostess gift), and the pine cone to make another vignette by the stove.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Kitchen<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I made this MERRY sign<\/a> last year.\u00a0 It sits on the hutch with red candle holders that started out black.\u00a0 Again the greenery adds to the look.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Kitchen<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jordan’s friend Anna gave me this sweet kitchen towel as a hostess gift.\u00a0 Wow!!!\u00a0 My friends pick out great hostess gifts.\u00a0 It hangs on the towel bar with some red and white towels I bought at a street market while bicycling in France<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Kitchen<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The kitchen table and bench<\/a> were the last spots to get some red and green.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Kitchen<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

My mother, the quilter,<\/a> gave me this table runner that she made several years ago.\u00a0 It comes out every year.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I made this paisley pillow<\/a> for Christmas and won the comfy throw in my exercise class.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, with just a little effort and time, the kitchen looks as if there is a holiday coming up soon.\u00a0 Now it’s time to start packing for our trip!!!<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
