Christmas in my Kitchen

Blogland has been buzzing with all the wonderful parties going on. I've been trying to keep up with it all, joining in and also visiting everyone, but let me tell you, it's been hard! My son has been sick all week long, so that hasn't helped matters either, I guess.

I'm sharing Christmas in my kitchen today. I don't decorate a whole lot in the kitchen because my kitchen is kinda small and also because there's a whole lot of cooking & baking that goes on in here.

I added a small tree, my baker's tree, if you will.


There are cute ornaments on this tree, like this pastry stand of goodies.


My nephew bought me these glass snowmen bakers (set of 3) from Williams Sonoma last Christmas.


 What baker's tree would be complete without a red stand mixer?


I added a few Christmas pieces to my glass door cabinets, a gingerbread house & a couple of snowmen.  The red & white polka dotted trim that I added this summer, see here,  is still going strong!



This little gingerbread girl sits on the countertop.


On my kitchen table, I have this Santa Claus centerpiece that I've had for ages.  (I think it's starting to look that way too!)



I hope you have enjoyed Christmas in my kitchen.  Watch out though...flour will be flying around here real soon!

    Love it, Gina! Your little trees ornaments are perfect! I did that type of theme for my little kitchen one, too. I especially love the tiered stand. Great idea puttng the gingerbread girl in a jar with snow and a little tree. Love that idea. Your cabinet looks great ~ I love the way you have everything set up so that you can see it clearly.

    Wow! I love it all! The kitchen cabinets are adorable! I did not put up my gingerbread themed tree this year. This makes me wish I had. It seems they just keep coming out with more and more cute ornaments. The mixer ornament is the best I've seen!

    How cute! Love your little Baker's tree. My kitchen is small too, but since it is open to the living room I always like to add a little Christmas cheer here and there. Your kitchen looks great.

    Mucho love,
    ♥Ana

    Oh my gosh I was looking at your kitchen and I just bought some of the red polka dot trim at a nearby educational store but haven't put it up yet. I hope it looks as cute as yours does.
