"It is good to know that out there, in a forest in the world, there is a cabin where something is possible, something fairly close to the sheer happiness of being alive." Sylvain Tesson
Above is the entire display for cocoa with friends including: cake, candy, and a cast iron cabin or two to display candle light within. |
I'm decorating my dining room cupboard this year using several different themes for parties among friends and family. This decor needn't cost much, just 'shop' your own collections and add a few key pieces to represent the theme for a coffee bar, tea party or in this case - cups of cocoa and a delicious, rich bunt cake for a cozy reunion with old friends. I cut the pine sprigs from bushes on my front lawn and unpacked a plaid blanket from the linen closet to use in this woodland display. My adult children gathered pinecones from a walk in the woods to fill-out the empty spaces between the dishes.

Left, a cup of hot chocolate or cocoa with marshmallows on top. Right, chocolate and peppermint stirring spoons for those who like an extra punch of flavor in their hot drink. |
Left decorative lettering spells "Noel" on a sign, dead center of the woodland display in my cupboard. Right, is the chocolate bunt cake on top of a galvanized metal cake stand. |
Left, vintage silver leaves, pine cones and evergreens decorate the top shelf. Right, the middle shelf has enamel white stars that light up in the dark and a Santa pitcher filled with autumn berries. |
