My Favorite Thing

Our wood arrived. The cats are doing the 'happy dance'.
It is cold, damp & wet outside. The wood-stove will draw them over like a magnet. It will be a game of musical chairs now;  minus the chairs and insert boxes.

One of my Favorite Things around the house is my little french cupboard. With Christmas fast approaching, I am playing with it again and planning some festive looks. It's a wee bit early so today I cleaned it up and placed a few of my little trees inside to start decorating. I will show you the finished look closer to Christmas.




I have had so much fun with this one thrifty find. I change it for the seasons and sometimes just along with my moods. It's like a little hutch to me but I am presently searching out a big hutch at all our local antique shops.

and here we are back to Christmas.
So, you can see why this dishaholic thinks this little cupboard is one of her Favorite Things.

"Favorite gorgeous Thing?"
"Next to me, maybe."

  1. Love it! That's the perfect size - not too much work to change it over but with enough space to let you be creative.

  5. Yes, little lady lion, you are tops!
    The French cupboard is off to a splendid start for the holidays! Love, love, love those little trees! And the little bird is precious (but not as precious as you, Audrey,-just in case your reading this). Can't wait to
    see it in all it's seasonal splendor!

  6. What a fun cabinet to decorate for the Holiday season. And hopefully the cats cannot reach it. 3 kittens adopted us (I think they might have been dropped on the highway) I have a picture of Orangie on my blog. Your photos are great.

  13. I wish we had a wood burning stove. It would be perfect for this wet and cold day. That little bird is adorable. But of course not as adorable as kitty! :D

  15. Hi Deb, I love how you decorate your little hutch for the seasons/holidays. Beautiful! You have many nice teacups. I know what you mean about cats gravitating to warmth. Gracie was enjoying lying in front of the furnace vent this morning.

  19. Oh that Sierra is too cute in the sidebar being Santa's name "takin'" bad elf! - even though we know she have a gentler side with a soft spot for Audrey and is a push over for a man in uniform! Love the photo!

  21. I think I love your little French cupboard as much as you, it's so much fun to see what decorations and ideas you share.
    Audrey is the most photogenic cat, I believe she actually poses for the camera :)
