Christmas in July 2015 - Day Thirty-One aka The End!

And that, my friends, is Christmas in July for 2015. Thank you for reading; I hope you enjoyed the photos, sorry the month was a bit link-heavy but I wanted you to be able to have plenty of resources. I'm leaving you with some delectable goodness which I hope will grace your holiday table.

Christmas in July 2015 - Day Thirty...we're almost there!

Time to put your pinny on and think about some fun in the kitchen.

Behind Door #1 is this classy poinsettia number from ClassyCookAprons over at Etsy - no longer available but check back closer to the holidays

#2 was from Nordstrom

KitschNStyle over on Etsy - again, check back later in the year

Whatever type of event you plan, send your guests home with a little something to say "Thank you for coming!".

Save your aluminum foil and plastic wrap boxes and recycle them this way

Or stock up on holiday tea towels (or you can use plain ones) and attach this poem

Christmas in July 2015 - Day Twenty-Nine

More kitchen decor ideas...

More vintage with galvanized steel - this entire post has amazing ideas

Took me ages to find the exact post that featured this picture but it was well worth the look - Jenny Allsorts has amazing Christmas posts

I think this is my favorite photo from Christmas in July 2015 because I LOVE Le Creuset

Christmas in July 2015 - Day Twenty-Eight

I just can't get enough of these fabulous kitchen decor ideas!

Christmas Decorating with Kitchen Items

An Ebay listing - over now but the description of the components is great

Cook's Herb Wreath

Cookie Sheet Magnet Board

The link was to Better Homes and Gardens but I couldn't find this item - I think you get the idea: metal cookie cutters wired together, the whole thing painted red (if the cutters are not already red), and add a big bow

Christmas in July 2015 - Day Twenty-Seven

Continuing on with Christmas in the Kitchen...

Lots of great ideas here and some lovely kitchens

A quick and easy Cinnamon and Berry Jar

Christmas in July 2015 - Day Twenty-Six

It's the final week of Christmas in July 2015 - the brief for Christmas in the Kitchen is...everything from menu plans to tablescapes, recipes, and how-to.

I'm starting out with some kitchen decor - I've got quite a lot of it actually so I'll spread it over a couple of days.

I love this Cross Stitch pattern - in a frame, it would look lovely on the kitchen wall

This post is actually a Kitchen Cabinet Makeover - my favorite part of the picture is the boxwood wreaths and ribbons idea

Hanging Candy Canes - a great idea with all of the designed resin candy canes that are available now

I've posted similar Hanging Ornaments photos before but I thought this was a simpler design for a breakfast nook table - I would replace the pointed bulbs with plain round ones to keep it simple
