Add a festive holiday touch to the stove

This makes cooking a pleasure!

Yesterday was 60 degrees and I was with Julie and Laurell at the flea market- with no coat!  Happily we all  found some fun treasures for making the winter season brighter!  Very excited, I went home to polish, clean and make them sparkle!  Last night , we finally got had our first frost and that put me in the mood to create a cozy winter vignette with a little glam on my range.  Going outside to cut some cedar, I found 4 frozen yellow roses - stiff as they could be- should have got them yesterday.   But I cut them anyway and brought them in to thaw.  I always keep pretty containers on a silver tray in the middle of my stove, filled with vinegars, fresh herbs, salts and olive oil, along with the fabulous menu board that I purchased from Savvy City Farmer.  But for this winter, I decided to change from clear glass to  a little color for the season.  A single purple wine glass and a cranberry compote are placed on the silver tray with a little fresh cedar. The thawing roses placed in a vase on the stove  add a reminder that summer is now over.  Sea salt is placed in an old ice cream sherbet with a rhinestone embellished spoon for sprinkling. I love the festive touch of the jewel tone color and rhinestones.  I placed a wonderful new red candle on the tray and am enjoying its fig aroma, the perfect scent for a kitchen  ( available at the store).  Now I just have to add a crystal decanter for the olive oil and my stove is ready for the holidays!  If you can find the space,  adding festive touches to the area around your stove makes cooking more enjoyable.
