I could list 100 things easily, but I think you are getting the idea that I love, love, love our kitchen. It is a happy place!
Your kitchen sounds wonderful! I love how you describe it! I have multicolored Fiesta Ware as well, and it is so much fun. It always makes meals feel fun and special. :)
Carol, what a fun list….thank you! My Mother had beautiful silk purple tulips that I fondly remember and think of her every time I see or hear about them…thanks for the memories!
*hugs* Jean
