We Are Over 21

Welcome to a little corner of my kitchen.  It's where I keep a basket of fresh

fruit, the bread box is there and of course one of my beloved roos.

On one side of the sink are more roos and a tin basket full of kitchen towels.

Now, if you are over 21 and not opposed to the consumption of  adult

beverages, you may go on to the next pic.  If however you are 

offended by this ~ please stop here and avert your eyes!

My husband David and I had a discussion last week about having a little

bar set up in what I lovingly call the butler's pantry area of our kitchen.

As you may recall, I wrote a post about them here.  

David is a sweetheart and lives with lots of feminine touches around the

house and very rarely complains.  So I set this up to give him a touch of

the "man cave" in a kitchen full of roos.  He'll never understand my

fascination with them ;-)

I actually had fun setting this up because it has touches of things I like too.

I placed everything on a vintage tole tray.  There is a 1950's vintage ice 

glass ice bucket and tongs.

Vintage cocktail napkins.  I don't know if I will be able to get out that little stain 

on the napkin, but I will try.

David picked up this vintage bartender's guide once when we were in

an antique shop together.   He rarely comes along with me into antique

shops which is a shame because he often finds a gem or two.

Remember the white ceramic basket I found on my first ever trip to

Home Goods?  It's perfect for storing the lemon and limes.

I love to save wine corks.  A bowl full of wine corks just adds je ne sais quoi!

So that's it.  The bar is all set up and ready for the weekend and just in case

anyone drops by, David will be ready to bartend.  As for me ~ I'm not

drinking any alcohol.  No wine, nothing.  I follow the British trend of 

a dry January.  

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Big Texas Hugs,
