Red and White Christmas


 I've been loving red & white decorations this year, and wanted a bold Scandinavian look for my kitchen. Meeha's blog post about her red & white mugs and traditional decorations inspired me.

I found some bright place mats at the Goodwill and mugs and bowls at Homegoods! 
 You know I love IKEA. The story on the net about the well dressed monkey at IKEA cracked me up. My kitty, Penny, is loving the new rugs we bought.
I dug out some retro fiber optic, big bulb, Christmas lights! Did any of you have the fiber optic light ball in the eighties? I had one and remember thinking it was really cool! 
Yes, two fantastic items just arrived from ETSY! 

Retro mug from Kultur Vintage
Swedish doily from Vintage Linens and More
Just need to make some raisen bread, pizzle cookies and kruschiki. My polish grandmom would be proud:)
Lovin' this FREE chalk board printable in a white washed frame!
The finishing touch is our childhood sled propped out front with a red bow!

Now all we need is snow, perfect!


Come join the party!
