I enjoy spending time in my kitchen. Whenever I was little I spent a lot of time with my Gram in her kitchen. I'd watch her make pies, helped her cut squares for her quilts, play cards with her or just spend time talking with her. I wanted a kitchen that was as welcoming as her kitchen was.
I thought I'd share a little corner of my kitchen with you.
I like to keep things handy for my family to snack on. There's usually something yummy in the cookie jar or on the cake plate. I love having my Keurig available for a quick Cup O' Joe. I keep the K-cups handy in the bottom bowl. Above it are various breakfast bars for when we're on the run in the morning and we don't have time for a good breakfast. I have started to collect juicers. I have two on the table that I bought at thrift stores and the green one on the window sill belonged to my Gram. The school chalkboard was given to me by a friend. I like to change the message on it using my Chalk Ink markers. Click Here to Visit the Chalk Ink Website!
Thank you for stopping by...I always enjoy the company.

Welcome to my kitchen at Christmas!
Now for an upclose look at some things...
My new Christmas plates...from Giant Eagle.
My newest Gooseberry Patch cookbook.
Garland above my double ovens decorated with cookie cutters.
Thrift store urn with a glittery bulb.
My church sale table cloth.
Garland on my pantry area...
decorated with miniature porcelain...
and pine cone bulbs recently found at TJ Maxx...aren't they sweet?
My kitchen tree decorated with mini utensils. The tree skirt is from Dollar General several years ago...it's really cute (darn it...should have gotten a close up!).

I also want to thank those of you dear blogging friends who commented on my last post...I'm so glad you're not tired of my snow pictures. Glad you enjoyed them because our temperatures warmed up and now all of that pretty snow is GONE! And, I did make the picture of our home into a Christmas card.

Welcome
to the second part of my kitchen tour. I hope you all will bear with me...this post has a lot of pictures.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The stairs leading to the upstairs...I love the little bannister. The apron belonged to my dear Mom...I have a picture of it on my other blog if you want to see what it looks like up close.
This little toy cookstove was given to me by my dear Gram...she had a real working stove just like this in her kitchen. Just thinking about it makes me feel all warm and cozy...I remember in the winter sitting by it to get warm after I was outside playing in the snow!
A courting candle given to me by my dear friend Josie.
I got this scale at a yard sale several years ago.
I am a Gooseberry Patch Cookbook collector...they are my weakness (that and Vera Bradley purses...lol). The small pitcher belonged to my Gram.
The plate rack (I have two of them) came from Goodwill...I paid $1.00 a piece for them. They were cream and I painted them black, of course! The plates are from Marshall's.
A wreath with pipberries (another of my favorite things).
An old tea kettle found in the attic of my parents home.
I found the old grater at a yard sale...when I came home with it, my dh just looked at me a shook his head...lol! He just doesn't understand about the things I love...I'm glad all of you dear blogging friends do.
This old pie pan belonged to my Gram...she baked many pies in it. I have so many wonderful memories of the time I spent with her. The pictures are framed recipes cards hand written by my Gram and Mom.
I know this pie pan isn't very "pretty", but it is very special to me.
This pitcher and butter dish are thrift store/church sale finds. 
Cookie cutters that belonged to my Gram.
My window sill.
A corner of my counter. 
A small basket of pipberries and a punched tin night light (I have a black one in our bathroom).
Framed keys that belonged to my dear Dad.
More cookbooks...I love the name Fannie Farmer.
The rest of my Gooseberry Patch collection.
An old Rumsford Complete Cookbook dated 1931. It belonged to my Mom.
A star lamp.
My spice cupboard from Wal-mart filled with Watkins spice tins.
My collection of church sale aprons...I don't wear any of these, but I do like to look at them.
My chalkboard...the picture frame cost me .50 cents at a yard sale. We bought a regular chalkboard at one of the office stores and attached it to the frame.
My old kitchen had a lot of cows in it...I downsized and kept a few of them. The enamel ware pitcher belonged to my Gram.
Enamel ware mug from my parents.
Another of my Gram's pie pans...I attached a star to it since I love stars! The cow was given to me by my Mom. The sheep I found at a thrift store.
An old jar full of rag balls...Ok, looking at this jar I'd have to say half full...lol!
Another of my Gram's pie pans.
Two old bean pots and a pitcher that belonged to my Gram.
An old crock from my Gram with pipberries.
Found these two stitceries at a yard sale...I mean they looked terrible...they were all dusty and dirty and the frames were awful, but I bought them anyways. I washed them up and painted the frames...now they're just like new/old!
If you've made it through all of my pictures I thank you for taking the time to look at them!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There will be a part 3 of the tour...we'll take a look at my signs so stayed tuned and have a wonderful weekend, my dear blogging friends!
Love, Kim
