PEPPERMINT HEAVEN

Wow it seems so early for Christmas settings don't you think...it's never too early for peppermint...
I hope you love Peppermint as much as I do..... There is nothing happier then red and white stripes.... except maybe red white and blue stripes....


I love this Christmas set of dishes....I think I love the cute deep bowls, the huge dinner plate and of course I love the wording on the dishes...There are coffee mugs that go with the set that are not shown in this setting... I always think these dishes look current and simple but ample and sturdy...I think the design will hold up for many years...


One of my funnest treasures is the candycane ladle....soooo cute...found it at the GW for 2.00...I have never seen one like it....


You may remember the glassware with the tiny candy canes embeded in the glass...sooo cute




This flatware is a favorite of mine...it was 10.00 at GW they are three styles together and are engraved with B..and they are a heavy silverplate.....I really like the knives...there is a service for 6... Although the B does not fit our family...I love the uniqueness of old engraved silver....


The place card holders and napkin rings are from Pottery Barn a few years ago....



Red snowflake napkins are from Target and the stripped ones are from TJ Maxx a few years ago...



This is going to be an early dinner so we will get a chance to light our candles...






Santa loves to watch over it all...




Time for our peppermint punch..it has a little seven up in it and it is delicious.







This snowflake water pitcher is from Pottery Barn a couple of years ago....and is perfect for the punch...




Yes...Mr. S. you will be sitting here....





ho ho ho



Tina is warching from the wall....




Yoy've gotta have santa near when there is peppermint around, he can always smell it...





And he always brings his own....I believe this says it all believe cause it tis the season for ho ho ho.....

EVERYTHING CANDY CANES FOR BJ

Just re-visiting an old post that was a fun project. Hope you enjoy it......

Santa loves candy canes....

The candy jars are in the kitchen garden window....

Santa's favorite candy as you well know is peppermint, was there any question...






This special post is for my friend BJ who shares a love of all things peppermint and candycanes, check out BJ's blog Sweet Nothings , I know you will love it and tell her Phyllis sent you....hope you have a good time visiting....





I like the jars in the kitchen window to look like a candy store, so I

am always adding candy....It has been raining here so try and ignore the dirty windows, unless of course you are a window cleaner then welcome, and come on in...

MMMMmmmm, some of the large candy canes I sent for and they are from Bobs candy on line. Some of the other large canes are from Dollar Tree and were 2 for a dollar....

The suckers are white peppermint chocolate and peppermint cherry......

MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm......

Candy cane ribbon on the mantle.....

I love the white ones, I think they are from Walmart.....................

My favorite glasses at Christmas from TJ Max, you can actually feel the candy canes and on the inside of the glass is a bump where the cane was pushed in, so unusual..... Candy cane candles are from Walmart....

The place cards from Michaels, Mr. S. loves that, you know how he is....

The large candy discs are from a discount store, don't remember where..

The wreath is from Home Depot and the ribbon is from Michaels, very inexpensive because it is not wired....

Yes of course BJ I had to add candy canes to my very first gingerbread house, I will be an expert by next year trust me......

Of course the doggies had to have some candy cane colars, they are from Michaels and are candle bases, you will see the wreath soon BJ just be patient, it will all come together...






My candle got a little smished, thats ok, I like them so much, I don't want to light them goofy huh...

This wreath is from michaels and yes it is the same as the doggie colars....

I have collected the jars for years and back then they were hard to find and very expensive, of course now they are everywhere and any kind of jars will do.....

The candy is from every where and any where I could find special candy....

Thanks for spending time AROUND THE HOUSE I hope you all enjoyed all the peppermint and candy canes....Thanks BJ for being such a good blogging friend, I hope you get enough of your candy canes for this year......I might just make a peppermint creme martini with some crushed peppermint around the rim,MMMMMMmmmmmm......lol..Please leave a comment, I love to hear from all of you.....Phyllis
