Some of my best holiday memories involve the kitchens of my mother, and grandmothers. I love the smells that cause me to stop, close my eyes, and spend a moment remembering those days. To make sure my kids and grands will have moments like that when I'm gone, I start with giving the kitchen a look and feel that says "Nini's kitchen". Use herbs to create wreaths or add to an existing wreath for an aroma that lingers all season. You can see a photo tutorial on how to make a Rosemary wreath here. Putting out some eye candy certainly lends to the air. Use what you have, add ribbons, herbs, cookie cutters, ornaments to make magic.

| Cookies...who doesn't associate them with Christmas! |

I love this collector piece depicting
my favorite Christmas movie Miracle on 34th Street. |

Miss matched stemware
and coordinating ribbon pulls the candles together.

| Balance colors across shelving. |
I hope your holidays are filled with wonder!
