December kitchen window



My December kitchen window is already done so I thought I'd post it a little early, before things get too hectic. The next few days will be busy...full of family, fun and turkey. 

My window is full of trees, deer and tiny, white lights.


I made a new tartan flannel valance. Tartan is great all year round, but it is especially cheerful at Christmas time. I love tartan! This plaid is a deep forest green, with a bit of black and red, and goes well with the woodland theme. 


This wonderful Kolene Spicher print has beautiful shades of green...


and the German lead putz deer and vintage bottlebrush trees pair well with it.



I added these tiny seed lights to the garland. Although I usually like just the lantern and candles, these little lights give the scene a dash of sparkle and look magical when the overhead light is off and the room is dark.




My favorite Christmas scent is bayberry. The mercury glass votives hold bayberry candles and they make my kitchen smell wonderful! My grandmother always burned a bayberry candle at Christmas so the scent takes me back to Christmases of long ago.





December is right around the corner!

Thank you so much for the lovely comments many of you left on my last post. I appreciate your visits and am always happy to hear your thoughts...especially when they are so kind and gracious. It was a great anniversary!

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy the day with your family, your friends and the bounty on your table. 

Annie and I made turkeys today...the pinecone, pipe cleaner, googly eyed kind...they are magnificent!

Welcome new followers!

Enjoy the day,
Robyn

  4. Robyn, it looks so wonderful. I love all the details. The deer seems alive with movement, and I think the tiny lights do add so much sparkle. It looks like a magazine photo. It would make a lovely greeting car photos. It all came together so well. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. Blessings!

  7. what a wonderful window. Bayberry is my favorite scent also and I recently read that if you burn a bayberry candle all the way down on Christmas it will bring good luck to your house all year.

  23. I love how you revamped your window for Christmas! I love the tiny trees and the deer. Where did you get those? And yeah, tartan is good all year round, so I suggest you leave that curtain hanging even after the holidays.
