hahaha, this was a delightful and teasing post. My mom used to do the same although on a grand scale. She owened a large, soft pine hutch that was almost 6 feet in width and 8 feet high. Every Christmas she would pull out every pretty glass container and silver server she owned and fill them with pretty candies, hard and soft, foil wrapped jewel tone chocolates and hand pulled ribbon candies. The hutch would look like a candy counter filled to brims with so much delectable treats. As children, we would stare at it constantly, just waiting for when mom said we could choose a treat following supper. Thanks for bringing back this wonderful memeory. Sea Witch
LOL I still have to explain to my husband the 'suffering for my art' concept! He is catching on... I often hear "can we use this or is it decoration?" :)
Hi there, Thanks for stopping by recently. I had to laugh while reading this because when my kiddos were small I was known to post (just a few) notes around the house that said, "for decoration only!". That was for them AND their little friends who were visiting. They still tease me about those. : ) I can't tell you how impressed I am with your china cabinet makeover, below!!! I just can't stop staring at the transformation. Kudos to you!!! M.L.
Where oh where did you find your apothecary jars? Now I want to find three different ones so that I can fill them with candy!!! This is really, really great!!!
I love all of your clocks. How cute! I have to get me some jars and put candy in them. I love that. I would have to worry about my husband more than my son:)
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment! I read and appreciate every single one! Please leave an e-mail or contact if you have a question, otherwise I have no way to answer you!
LOL! you are a kick in the pants
ReplyDeletejen, i just love you! Merry Christmas to you! xoxo,Tara

ReplyDeleteSo funny! Yup, I am THAT Mom! My daughter said to me, "geesh Mom, most people eat candy, not decorate with it!" Great post!

ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOVE the different peppermint treats in your fab apothecary jars!
ReplyDelete"the look-don't touch" policy is in force in my home too. Except they're typically with M&M's or something MUCH more enticing.
xoxoxo
Cute, and sooo true. My little guy doesn't understand why he can't eat all the candy canes either!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family.

LOL.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I have a mini tree by my front door decorated solely with lights and candy canes.
Give 'em candy and kick 'em out the door. LOL - JUST kidding.
What if I'm the one doing the suffering? Easy fix...just buy plenty of refills!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
