Hello everyone!
I ordered a couple of things that I wanted for Christmas and am already using them! They are in my kitchen.
I learned about these adorable Lori Mitchell figurines recently. Most of them represent holidays. I saw this one and just had to have it! It is called Surprising Santa.
Isn't she just the cutest??? I found her on Ebay. I've moved her all over the house to find the perfect spot for her. For now, she is part of the coffee station. She looks like she could use some coffee huh? Do you see her mouse shoes? And just look at that expression!
I discovered that the artist is from Marietta, GA too! We're practically neighbors. LOL!
Then, I found these cute dish towels custom monogrammed from Frog Goes to Market.
They came packaged so cute and she even included a bar of lavender soap that she made.
There are so many ways to use these.
I draped one over the stool seat.
I fell in love with the lettering. They look like what you would see on a grain sack.
She sells various versions of this towel in her shop if you're interested.
And while we're in my kitchen, thought I would share some of my chalkboard art with you. It has been so popular lately, that I decided to try my hand at it too. I'm no artist, but I'm happy with these little messages sprinkled around.
This one hangs on the wall by my stove.
This one sits in my family room.
Oh and I had the best time the other day. My husband and I had a chance to go to IKEA together and I found a few goodies that I will share in an upcoming post!
Thanks for stopping by.
