SOME THINGS NEVER GO OUT OF STYLEโค๏ธ ๐ŸŒฟ I've SOME THINGS NEVER GO OUT OF STYLEโค๏ธ ๐ŸŒฟ I've been talking a lot lately about decorating with what you have on hand. This year I used a lot of staple pieces like old wooden bowls, crocks, old books (in Christmas colors), and antique lanterns. Suddenly these treasures become Christmas decor just by adding simple touches like greenery. ๐ŸŒฟ If you are going to buy something new for Christmas I recommend a candle!!! Burning Christmas scents can really get you into the Christmas spirit. Plus a beautiful candle with a gorgeous label .... like this GATHER CANDLE by @farmsteadcomforts ...... adds something extra special to your vignette. ๐Ÿค—โค๏ธ #christmas2024 #christmasdecorations #christmasdecor #aprimitiveplacemagazine #aprimitiveplace #primitivestyle #aprimitivechristmas #nostalgicchristmas #vintagedecor

When I was deciding how to decorate this space for Christmas I knew I wanted an old fashioned candy or baking theme. ๐Ÿคถ I was digging through my Christmas stash and I found the cutest little KRINGLE'S SWEET SHOPPE sign!! Sometimes it's fun to re-visit your old treasures!! ๐Ÿค— ๐Ÿ‘‰How I styled this space: 1. I used layers of cutting boards and vintage muffin tins as a fun backdrop. 2. I added simple touches like vintage glass lid Ball jars. I filled them with old fashioned ingredients like peppermint sticks and star anise. 3. I used baker's twine to attach old hand written recipe cards to a tiny cutting board. 4. I used lots of wooden kitchen utensils, nestled inside of antique ironstone pieces, to add warmth to the space. 5. A new PEPPERMINT TWIST @milkbarncandles and a soft peppermint striped tea towel from @interiordelights.co help to cozy up the atmosphere. 6. For extra layering I stacked an antique pie tray filled with old antique pie tins and faux pies made by @everythingdawn on top of the DIY pie safe. 7. I made some DIY cinnamon salt dough gingerbread men and tucked them into a stack of ironstone bowls. (You can find the recipe a few posts back in my feed) ๐Ÿ‘‰Be sure to check out the other thoughtfully curated spaces by my friends who are all sharing their own pie safes today!! ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป Bryan @our.cozy.little.home ๐ŸŽ„ Beth @shady_pines3interiors ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป Donna @gramsfarmhouse ๐ŸŽ„ Alicia @thriftyandchicdecor ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป Amy @myrustichouse ๐ŸŽ„ Jenn @downshilohroad ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป Cindy @diybeautify ๐Ÿ‘‰We made our own DIY pie safe.

I made CINNAMON SALT DOUGH and this is the best recipe I have found. It comes out perfectly balanced and feels just like playdough!!! Remember that if you are going to make these into ornaments you will need to add a hole before baking. I just used mine as bowl fillers. These would also make adorable tags for gifts, table places cards, open house gifts. The possibilities are endless!! I also added a grungy little frayed ribbon to mine. I dyed the ribbon using tea. You could also use baker's twine or red frayed ribbon or even jute string. RECIPE: Cinnamon Salt Dough Recipe 1-1/4 cups flour 1/2 cup salt 1/2 cup cinnamon 3/4 cup water (or coffee grunge) The coffee grunge recipe is: -1 cup hot water - 1/2 cup instant coffee 2 Tbsp vanilla 2 Tbsp cinnamon (Mix together in a glass jar) Mix together until dough forms. Roll out and cut out shapes. Bake at 200ยฐ for 1 hrs or until dried out. I didn't have any trouble with this recipe. However if it does seem dry to you and not like playdough just add a little water at a time until it feels like playdough. It should not be sticky at all!!! ๐Ÿ‘‰SAVE THIS RECIPE !!! #recipe #craftwithme #cinnamon #saltdough #ornaments #bowlfillers #saltdoughornaments #christmascrafts #deckthehalls #christmas2024 #nostalgicchristmas #gingerbreadman #primitivestyle
