Last year I loved my Santa in France theme at Christmas. I thought it went so well with the colors in my kitchen, relaxing room, and dining room. Well, this year, I changed things up a bit. Today, I'm featuring part of the kitchen area...all decked out in red gingham, dots, and gingerbread motif.
I'm modeling the latest addition to my "Prissy Apron Collection" ...it's from HomeGoods.

The kitchen table is set with a red and white theme.

This small "Prissy Plate", adorned with red gingham ribbon was just the right size for the Cranberry-Apple Brie.

I'm off today to visit my best friend Teresa Jane in Augusta, then on to my Mama's house for a visit. I'll have more "Gingerbread in the Kitchen" loot when I return!

I love the gingerbread Miss Janice. Your Gingerbread Kitchen is beautiful!
My kitchen is gingerbread and red-gingham every CHRISTmas! I have a little 3' tree on the table, with my collection. Isn't it fun?
So precious! I love it! Thank you for sharing your lovely and festive kitchen and the yummy recipe.
Oh my! I'm using gingerbread and also use a red/white/silver theme; never thought about using a white tree! And is that a monogram I spy on the wreath??
How precious this is! I'm still putting on the finishing touches....not doing quite as much decorating this year.
You kitchen is precious! I love the gingerbread theme. You look like you are ready for the holidays. The gingerbread cupcakes sound yummy, too. I think I may have to whip up a batch the week.
Everything looks terrific!
Safe travels!
NOBODY does a theme better than you Miss Janice !
Hi Janice!
Love your gingerbread theme for the kitchen, so cheerful with the red and white!
Have a very blessed Christmas!
Hi Miss Janice! I love gingerbread and will have to copy your recipe! I love your little sweeties! Everything is so festive.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Super fabulously cute.
I have done a gingerbread theme in my kitchen in the past so loved seeing your take one it. What a great collection of gingerbread goodies you have and I love the way you used the dots, checks, and peppermint with them.
Hope you are having a wonderful time with your Mamma. I was listening to Christmas music yesterday while puttering in the kitchen and so many of the songs reminded me of my dearly departed Mamma. I know you treasure every minute with your beautiful Mamma.
xoxo,
Sue
