How is it possible that Christmas Day is only nine days away? Ever since December 1st, I have intended to show some of my Santas which are on display in the kitchen.
A little alpine tree tucked next to the antique marble-top chest in the kitchen hosts multiple Old Saint Nicks hanging from its branches. Most of the ornaments were gifts from friends over the years and families when I was teaching; that makes them treasured pieces. I will show just a few.
Woodland Santa is a Fitz and Floyd and was a gift from a friend.
Several years ago, my parents gave me this Santa and his sleigh. I love that it is made to replicate a 1940s style.
This vignette highlights several vintage pieces. The Santa mugs, egg nog bottle (from a local dairy), the candle holder and scales are all old.
On the planning center, Santa is ready to bake some Christmas cookies! The cookbook is from my childhood and has been referenced many times during seasonal baking times! The springerle rolling pin was a wedding shower gift to my mother and she has given it to me, knowing that I enjoy such items. My grandma gave me the traditional rolling pin when I got married and I do use it.
