Something Wicked This Way Comes

Remember this little guy? I fell in love with it immediately and knew it could be the perfect piece for my kitchen after a little TLC.
Nails removed, shelves made and added, a piece of bead board fitted as a back, some caulk, then paint, paint, paint, and more paint, hardware refreshed with paint and reinstalled....
Ta Da!!!

Welcome to your new home, little Baker's Cabinet.
I think you're going to like it here.

{click on the photo to zoom...but don't over analyze my craftsman ship. One of the things I love about old furniture is that it is not perfect, and comes with a personality of it's own.}
I picked up some little LED battery operated touch spotlights for $3 (a sweet deal. Thank you, WM Associate's Store!) and I can't get over how just a little bit of light can make such a difference in showcasing the items inside.
It's starting to look and feel like Fall around here...

In the witch's hat candy dish: 50% candy corn/mellow creme pumpkin medley 50% salted party peanuts. Eaten together=Halloween's best kept secret. It's like a peanut roll candy bar. I'm thinking we might add some chocolate chips because...well everything is better with chocolate.

Halloween Tree 2009: I think this year's tree is my favorite so far. We had a tree cut down in the side yard a few months ago, and when I saw this little branch fall to the ground, I set it aside to be our Halloween Tree. I left some leaves on this time and added a strand of purple lights (that you can't see in this picture, because it is light out, but look awesome at night). I'm looking for some little craft birds to paint black and perch on some of the branches. It's the perfect catch all for all the little chotchkies that Reese makes.

Spooky!

Now if I can just get some Gooey Butter Pumpkin Cake in me...it would REALLY feel like Fall!
