  1. Such fun and festive ideas Brenda! Hope you are doing well and Merry Christmas! ~julie

  2. Well, these are a lot nicer than the two bags of hard candy that I will be taking to my sister on Saturday! But, to explain, hard candy has special meaning in the family because it reminds us of our late father. He loved hard candy, and always bought it at Christmas for Mom to set out in glass dishes. When he quit smoking, he sucked on it constantly to dull his cigarette cravings. He gained a few pounds, but never smoked again, so we were grateful that the candy helped out. No one else eats much hard candy, but we do like to see it sitting out in glass bowls at Christmas.

  4. especially love that potpourri! can almost smell it now. 🙂
