If one were to plunk some candy canes hand made
in an old pitcher
add a few balls and sprigs
...and call it a day?
Not so much... you say?
oh.
Ok…a little wee Santa too?
Maybe add a teensy wreath...
Or two?
Now...can it count as Christmas?
Not enough yet?
Ok.
How about I take said handmade candy canes…
and offer you this
Aha!
Thought so.
Imbibe.
It’s The Holiday season.
right?

Pink Fowers...Not ME .....handmade...but SOMEONE hand made (so it says on the tag)
Maria...YOURS is way better!!
Oy....Now I have started rumours.
ah, what a refreshing visit here i'm having.
reminds me of this quote:
the little things?
they aren't little.
you create sacred space here, ms. lime in the coconut.
okay, now that i've acknowledged the reverence, i'm lapping down the candy cane and on to the drinks.
:)
That's Christmas alright!
OK, I'm in the mood now...got off on your candy canes amidst those beauteous white vessels accented by fun black motifs...and I'll have one of those red things to drink, please, ma'am. :)
posted your kitchen story today!!! Now I can celebrate by getting ready for Christmas guests arriving on Friday...in the nick of time, I am!
P. S. Nice camera work!
Looks like perfect Christmas to me.

That would be wonderful! And did you say, hand made candy canes? oh my! I love simple elegant decorations!
Candy Cane martini? Oh yeah...tis the season!!
My daughter is hosting her office Christmas party here tonight...it looks soooo festive with Hannukah candles and Christmas lights galore...bring it on!
Love those cocktails!! They look fabulous:)
So cute and simple. How do you make handmade candy canes? I never even thought of tackling that project.
pppph yummy...I'll be right over!
xx
The candy canes in a pitcher and a drink would be perfect for me!
Very cute decorations!
oh, and your clock and toaster are adorable, too!
Save me a candycane martini. I'm coming over!
It definitely counts now Linda! Those drinks are calling me....
Given my lack of decorating around here, I'm happy to say that one tiny Santa Claus and some festive alkeehaulic drinks are all I need to consider the place decorated and ready for St. Nick!
Great shot of your lovely decorations -love all the WHITE!! But whta really got me was that yummy red cocktail!! Had one of those the other night, great, but then had two red wines after that, NOT SO GREAT!!!
ah...it's much too sweet and cute!
and top of that..they're handmade..wonderful!
Very cute!! Really handmade candy? What??
It all counts,Linda! Plus...anytime I get a glimpse of your fantabulous kitchen is a good day!
To answer your ? at the Back Porch...right now, my fave is the hearth room, kitchen and breakfast room combined. We are really enjoying this part of our home this year!
ok...seariously, i'm coming over for one of those drinks..
i have 3 gkiddos underfoot for 3 weeks, could you make mine a double?
very cute post... i wish you a merry christmas.. x pam
I'm hoping in my car NOW... have those beverages ready when I get there!!!
Love it! I was loving all your decorations, and then when I saw the martini I broke into a big grin :)
Handmade candycanes? Wow. Do you ever make it over this way, Linda? We should get together for coffee. Or handmade candycanes.
Mmmmmmmmm! Sip. Slurp.
That's some good Christmas cheer. Yum!

hey Linda in FL! I'm Lynda (a mis-placed northerner) in South FL too! Val referred me to your blog, and I'm glad she did! I enJOYed it!
LoVeLy Holiday Display...
I'm a newbie to blogging:you're invited to: http://nyclq-focalpoint.blogspot.com/
as you said, "Tropical Tidings!"
:D Lynda
oui ... oui ... oui
Now it is beginning to feel like Christmas!! xo
I love that your surprised me with that drink!
Oh that TOTALLY counts! Especially since I "plunked," too, this weekend! You've done a lot...I plunked candy canes and balls and called it a day. Your display looks great!! (and I am so relieved to read comments to see that you did not make the candy canes...or I would have been totally jealous/envious, lol! ;-)
oh...it WAS enough with all the white walls and bowls with touches of holiday colors, but when you offered the drinks...oh yea baby.......love it!
You had me at "candy canes."
But I kept reading along, because I knew you'd probably sneak in even more design. And generate a few laughs.
Everything is just darling, and now I'm on record as calling something darling. Damn you and your adorable vignettes, Ms L!
What a wonderful mix of images!!!
I hope your Christmas will be relaxed and beautiful!
Tomorrow, before I travel to India, I will start up a contest on my blog, welcome!
Peace and Love
Agneta from Sweden.... of course o;)
could that be any cuter???
Hello Miss COCONUT ,

Beauty and imagination....that's what your post always have in them...love it! Would you mind sharing what kind of camera you use? Your images are so bright but they never look like you use fill light.
Merry Christmas Linda!
Linda, beautiful, you are in the spirit and ready with Holiday Cheer! I have a new holiday greeting up!
Did I read correctly -- hand made candy canes?! Seriously? Really? Wow. I think that's Christmas in of itself. (The last image looks so tasty -- and pretty, natch.) merry, merry! -s
Silly Linda, Christmas isnt decor or trimmings or lights or Santas...Christmas is a feeling of good cheer and warmth, spreading through your belly. Er. Heart. I meant heart.
...do we get seconds if we're on the naughty list?
