Christmas Sideboard...

I like to set my sideboard up

as a sweet bar,

for Christmas...

 

It makes sneaking a cookie easy..

 

 I also think so much work

 goes into Christmas Cookies

it's nice to have them out and seen...

 

I am just beginning to bake for this year,

so it's a little sparse still...

 

if you would like to see a Christmas Past,

here is a link...

 

this was also before

 I painted my sideboard,

so it's a little before and after too...

 



 

glittered stars

twinkle from the mirror..

 

all sorts of tree renditions.

line the upper sill...

 





my Victorian Scrap boy

and his swan,

take center stage...

 



since,

I've just begun baking...

 

vintage ornaments stand in as

low calorie sweetness...

 



 

I like to have at least one Candy Cane

each year...

 

I was thrilled to find PINK!

 

if you are looking

Whole Foods is carrying them this year...

 

small cut glass plates,

stood on end

with tea lights at their feet...

 

look so pretty...

 

 

as does this sugar bowl

with a tea light inside...

 

 

creating sparkle and drama...

 

 

my cake didn't make it to the sideboard

in time for photos...

 

but, I thought it was so cute

I wanted to show it off...

 

I used a cake stencil

from Martha Stewart...

 

Can you believe Christmas is almost here...

already!

 

I hope you are finding time to enjoy

all the beauty of the season...

 

I'll be at

Inspire Me Tuesday

and

A Return to Loveliness

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by....
