Now this you are probably thinking what the hey is this?? right well its a 1840 Regina Victorian Music box tree stand... Your tree sit on top of it and it spins the tree around as it plays music..these are the disc that it plays...
This is the front of it...I put it on my Kitchen table every year...
Just another shot of the front...with my little Gingerbread houses...
Now this is my Gingerbread tree...My Granddaughter Candace started this collection about 10 years ago for me....and I do my Gingerbread tree every year now..
Is this not the Sweetest Cake Stand !!! I found this last Month at HOME GOODS and it just SCREAMED my name..I just loved the little Elf Feet on it...and my dome fits it real good...
This is just a corner in my kitchen... I always use place mats at Christmas time on my counters and those Glass containers are DAD"S cookies container that came out of a general store I keep Pudding and Jello in them... the sweet tea pot also from my Candace.
This is my Kitchen sink...and Yes I have a BLUE sink...but I have a blue and White Kitchen and love Blue so why not...this is my garden window...the little dough boy Len got me last Christmas its a SUNSHINE Biscuits boy and came from ca. 1940 general store....
This is a De Laval Cream cabinet that held parts one time for a Cream Separator this sits at the end of my Bean Counter...also a few Butter Churns and Old coffee grinder...
Now this is my OLD New stove...looks like an old one..but it has a self clean oven, all electric it an "Elmira " came from Canada and made to look like an 1850 stove...
I only show part of the kitchen with this post will show you the rest of it this week...I am still trying to finish it all up.. If you would like to see it all go to my spaces on RATE MY SPACE and I also am Happy to be on there...Thanks for stopping by....and seeing just some of my little men!!! And please sign my Guest book for me.. Thanks
Hope you have a great and safe day hugs and smiles, Gloria

Hi Gloria!

Oh G! Your kitchen is absolutely adorable! Love love love all your Christmas decorations! It's a kitchen that just says "love and comfort" every where! :-)
I think that Gingerbread boys are the sweetest thing around at Christmas. I make the cookies every year just to use as decorations. This year I had my Dad make a large cutter for me out of tin because I looked everywhere for one and could not find it. Besides they smell like Christmas, too. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving long weekend! ~ Robyn
Gm Gloria, I loved your photos, what fun it must be in your kitchen, your sink and stove .....to die for....I sit here in my dull little cookie cutter house and just drool over some of my friends homes. Can't wait to see more of your decorations...Thank you so much for your prayers for my Cory.
Love Ya,
Chris

I love the gingerbread tradition, so much fun! Still love the stove and I seem to remember seeing your sink and things above it on RMS....am I crazy or was it posted there?! Cindy
Hello Gloria! Oh it would be so much fun to hang out in your kitchen! You have all these little treasures waiting to be gazed upon! That rotating/musical tree stand is amazing! oh how neat that must be! I love that little cake platter and what a great fit with the dome on top - lucky you! and your stove is just beautiful!! It all works together so well. And little Lady, I was also amazed at your "tag" answers. Whoo hoo - a pilot?! and an owner of an ostrich/emu farm!? How was that? Do you have any pictures from those days? if you do you must post about it! Are they mean? Well, I am mighty impressed! Continue on with your decorating Lady - I want to see more. :) Take care~ Laurie
Your stove is to die for. I've been so please with those following my blog. I find that you have so many things that I love too. I'm barely finding the time to learn to love my talents and actually find the things that I love. This stove is one of them. I've always wanted, adored and wished I had one. My family isn't much into this kind of things, so I only wish, but, it's fun to share your life and see how much we are alike. I will follow aften. You are a dear and I do appreciate you visiting my blog. It means much!
Nanette
Gloria, your gingerbread kitchen is too cute girl !
What a treat. I love all the antiques and the gingerbread theme is very unique and wonderful. Marty
mornin sweet G!! Girl you made me laugh so hard yesterday about your crime scene!! I sure hope your bones let you get things done this weekend! I didn't want to stop last night and make dinner either, but Butch didn't want anything to do with eggsalad sandwiches, so I had to at least make him some french toast!LOL!! It took me an hour and a half just to upload pictures! I'm glad my post is done and up! now I gotta finish the porch this week, amongst all my wrapping, thank God my shopping is done!! have a great week sweetie!! xoxoxo
Love all your little men. They are so cute
Hi again Gloria...I'm back to tell you my computer is soooo sick, I've got to try to get somebody to fix it...so if I'm missing in action, you'll know why...Oh, the misery!! ;-) Bo (I'm using my DH's acc't. to post this)
Darling gingerbread kitchen! Many blessings to you dear friend.
Hugs~ J
Good morning sweetie, wanted to pop in and have a quick cup before taking off for work.. I hope you're doing well this morning. I suppose you're trying to get a tablescape together? I know it will be just as magical.
Have a super day my friend.
hugs ~lynne~
Morning girl!!! I love the gingerbread kitchen! Girl you have the neatest things...everything looks so pretty and Christmasy...what a great start to my day! This is a new month sweetie....let's make it a great one! Love ya girl!
Hi Gloria - I love all your gingerbread men - they are so cute!! I don't know how you keep everything straight - LOL Can't wait to see more.
I tagged you, but didn't realize you'd already been tagged a couple of days ago - sorry.
Have a good one.
Lynette
Morning, Dear Gloria! There's that blue sink I love! Oh, everything is just wonderful in your home. I love all of your sweet decorating. I haven't even started yet!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
That is so cute that you have all of that gingerbread in the kitchen!
I used PhotoShop and application to cut and paste all of my awards together to get them nice and tidy. I know there is something out there that will do it for you, have seen it on other blogs but don't know what website to use. You might ask Frenchie. I think she has done it to her awards.
Hi Gloria :)
Your kitchen is looking so Christmas-y! I love it :)
That 1800s tree spinner is wonderful! My grandmother Bonnie had a 1950s one that had a light show with it LOL I didn't know they had anything like that before that time.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
hugs,
rue
Gloria first off let me say I will be praying for God to bless your grandson and keep him safe and for a speedy return home to his family, I know how you feel about this war sweetie, me too! Now 2nd, G please don't stress yourself with decorating every inch of your home, I don't do nearly as much as I used to and its just easier! Remember this isn't RMS, we are gonna love what you get done, so be kind to yourself! What made Dot get so lucky to have a sweetie like Bill who helps her decorate! LOL!! I do it all myself, except because i almost gashed my finger off getting the tree outta the box, Butch carried it up the steps for me! Relax sweetie and watch some football! love ya G!! xoxoxo
Hello Gloria I have just been catching up on your blog and I love your tablescape, your clocks, your little elves :) your gingerbread tree and all your antiques but especially your musical christmas tree box,it's magical. Kathy.
Hi G, I'm ready to see all that lovely Holiday decor'. I'll check back soon...hehe. ~Melissa :)
Gloria Darling,
Come visit me. I have an award for you!
xoxoxoxoxoxo
Donna Marie
I LOVE THAT STOVE.I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE.DO YOU MIND IF I GRANNY FARKLE YOU?HUH?OR I COULD COME BY WITH JUST A VERY LARGE PURSE,OK?I SEE YOUR IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT DEAR.WE WON'T START DECORATING UNTIL THIS NEXT WEEK-END.I'V E GOT TO REST FROM THANKSGIVING.I HAVE TO GET MY BEAUTY REST,YA KNOW>HA...ANN
I keep forgetting to thank you for the super kind things that you say about my granddaughter! She is my pride and joy and you are always so sweet to comment. I appreciate it but I know I probably do show her too much, now that I'm private though I don't worry so much about it! Thanks again, and once again, I love your treasures. I could spend a month looking at your house but I'm sure I'd still not see it all!!
Gloria, thank you so much for the ornament idea. We recently bought 35 acres of land which has lots of trees and pine cones!! My only problem is that I have to mail all 120 plus ornamments and am not sure about mailing- but these would be great gifts for those friends near by!!!I did get my ornaments finished while working at the little antique mall where I have a booth. It was cold and icy and so slow today- which is bad for sales but good for getting lots of things done!!!
blessings!
mary
Gloria, your kitchen just looks like Christmas is here! I love all of it. But that musical rotating tree stand is just wonderful! I've never seen anything like it. You have so many unique treasures, and I am thrilled to get to see them. laurie
mornin sweet G! Hope you got some rest yesterday. Just go with the flow sweetie, you have all the time in the world. I often wonder what my life would be like if this computer should break, I sometimes wish it would! Do we race around to get our Christmas decorations up early so we can take pictures for our blog?? I did LOL! Well at least its done and my shopping too, now if I could just relax and enjoy it all! Have a wonderful day sweetie! xoxoxo
Hey Gloria,
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment about my new hutch in my dining room. I wll probably leave it the natural wood it is now instead of repainting it. It is so tempting though when you see the beautiful pieces out there in blogland that some of these very talented women refinish.
I appreciate you stopping by and welcome getting to know you as a new friend!
Blessings,
Kymber
Please, stop by I have an award for you.
Gloria,
I saw that same cake stand at HomeGoods too. It was SCREAMING at me too, but my kitchen is pink and green and it won't match. Thank Goodness or it would have come straight home with me too.
Love all your gingerbread treasures.
xo Cathy
Hey you sweet thing...I love you so Gloria...I needed those prayers today..it has been rough..the funeral was today...I thought I'd just post to try and occupy my mind but I cry while I am posting...girl she was only a year older than me...we had some times together...but about a year ago she had some sort of stroke and the doctors only gave her about 5 months to live...said her brain would begin to shrink...she started having seizures..lost all memory and all ability to even talk..I remember seeing her a couple of months ago and I ran to her and hugged her and when I looked into her eyes I knew she had forgotten me...oh girl...the older I get the harder losing a loved one is on me...thanks for coming by sweetie & double thanks for calling my name.
Hey ya cutie.. thanks for swinging by. I know you have alot on your plate so I appreciate you taking the time for little ole me.. Hope things go well in LA..I'm really hoping to get some more decorating done..more hours at the other shop..still meeting myself coming and going..I sure hope I meet up with myself soon..lol..
hugs ~lynne~
Gloria my daughter would LOVE to go sky diving w/you. She said she's up for adoption...lol. Thank you as always for your kind words~ you always bring a smile to my face.
Hugs~ J
Evening, Gloria! You've been spiffing your blog! Love that header. Hope you've had a beautiful day.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh my there is Home Good name again, I need to find it! I have fallen in love with gingerbread men this year! Love your kitchen, I want the coffee grinder! Got to show hubby! I am a little jealous of your stove, I admit it! I had the paper for the Elmira in black and white for years. Hubby said no! Too much, wasn't for me I love it so! Now I can enjoy yours!!
Your kitchen is both unique and wonderful. I love the telephone, the bean counter, the victrola - well I guess everything. You have so many good ideas (the spot for the TV). I have to look at everything one more time.
Sweetie
Hi Gloria:
I am a Gingerbread collector too. I live in a 100 year old historic home in the city of Albany, OR. Presently, I probably have 10 years worth of gingerbread items that I have been collecting and they are displayed in my family room. I am a 63 year old grandmother getting ready to downsize and quit work. My home will go on the market this next week. Are you, or anyone you know, interested in buying an entire gingerbread collection? I love my collection and it is difficult to part with, and would love to find someone else who would love these items as well as I do and have.
I loved your blog. You are so talented and creative. And, it looks like you are very busy too. It was so wonderful to visit your blog. It cheered me up and made me smile. It was a good end to a anxious week-end for me.
May God bless you!!
I loved the music too. Especially the "More than Anything" song.

Hi Gloria....
Oh my goodness..........you have one of the nicest collections of wonderful old antiques I've ever seen..... Just wonderful. My Mum was a "Modern Millie" too.... When I was just a young newlywed I spent hours in the attic rummaging through things. My dad used to tell me I should bring a moving van. I still have lots of those old things.
Now, that's the MOST wonderful old/new stove. I would adore having one like it.
Big hugs,
Spencer
