If you are a new visitor to my blog, I must explain that I love to have "Friendship Gifts" on hand to offer to guests who visit my home...sometimes, I offer these gifts as "last minute hostess gifts", or just a "happy." My "Friendship Gifts" for the summer...Moon pies on a stick, wrapped in cello paper, and tied with pretty blue ribbon embossed with a fleur de lis...It's a Southern thing y'all! (Only 220 calories, with 6 grams of fat)
Love the fleur de lis ribbon...
A smaller version of the original moonpie is now available...it's a moon pie crunch, with mint! It has 170 calories and 8 grams of fat, but a lot of Southern goodness!
I wrapped some of the small moon pies, for those watching their calories and for the youngins'!
Bring on the summer...Moonpies and an RC!!! (Most likely a diet-caffeine-free coke for moi!)

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
Love the basket of moon pies Miss Janice. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm, RC Cola, so tasty!! I used to drink RC all the time when I was little! I love this gift idea, Miss Janice. That little ribbon is just darling :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yum, yum! I can't imagine summer without at least one moon pie, just sitting on the porch with my soda pop...Love your basket, Miss Janet, and that beautiful ribbon. You have THE best ideas!
ReplyDeleteThat's just too much fun!!! I have never had a moon pie so I will need to look for them the next time I am in the US...have you ever had a Mae West? Those are my fave!
ReplyDeleteI love the ribbon - High Heeled Life gave me a gift and it had that same ribbon on it - I tied it onto my notebook :O)
Mmm Miss Janice I'd love to stop by for one of those! ;)
ReplyDeleteThey look so yummy!
I love moon pies! And RC was started here in my city! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Moon Pies! What a fabulous friendship gift, fancied-up Moon-Pies! And the mint ones! I must find these! Surely, if they have them in FL, they have them in GA.
ReplyDeleteyou never cease to amaze me with your graciousness...

My grandmother (who lived in Greenville, SC) always had RC Colas for us to drink in the summertime. Miss Betty was a Coca-Cola (pronounced "Co-Cola") woman all the way.
ReplyDeleteYounger daughter adores Moon Pies...and has a birthday coming up. You have just given me a grand idea!
PS> Miss Janice, if you look at my Twitter page, you will see all kinds of pics I took for you at "Sur La Table" this weekend. It was roosters galore in there!
Best, Liz (The Classic Preppy)
What a lovely hostess gift. I always enjoy seeing your creative ideas!
ReplyDeleteOh Miss Janice!
ReplyDeleteThis might be my favorite friendship gift yet! The new mint version sounds yummy!
What a wonderful idea. I love Moon Pies. I never was much of an RC person, but I love my Co-colas and TaBs.
ReplyDeleteThose look fantastic. You did an amazing job putting them together. I hope you truly have a wonderful summer.
ReplyDeleteMy pantry stays stocked with moon pies, especially vanilla ones, for the fabulous five ~ won't they be impressed when Mimi "fancies" them up like Miss Janice (except I'll have to use a pink ribbon & put them in their "Treasure Boxes"). You're just full of wonderful ideas ~~ that's why I LOVE your blog!! Hope you don't mind me being a copycat sometimes! And I'm off tomorrow to find the mint moon pies. Your basket is adorable!!
ReplyDeleteDarling Idea!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous display! That fleur-de-lis ribbon would especially make a great gift for any Kappa girl!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling (and clever) happy! Love the friendship gift idea, and your post reminded me of my sweet Mississippi mother-in-law who frequently gave me "happies."
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that basket and the way you wrapped them up?!? I love it!!! You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful basket of moon pies! They are one of my favorite things.
ReplyDeleteVERY cute idea Miss Janice! You're right that Fleur de Lis is wonderful! I'll have to think about what I can do for my summer friendship gifts now. I usually only do them for the holidays, but I love this idea so much, you've inspired me! Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteA Mint Moon Pie??? I had no idea! It's times like this when I feel VERY removed from TN - heehee!
ReplyDeleteThey make mint moon pies now? Wow and of course I love the fleur de lis ribbon since I am from good ole Louisiana!
ReplyDeleteOh Miss Janice...what a darling idea! You are my hostess inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Enjoy!

I just found your blog and love it. I am from South Carolina originally now living in NE Florida. Southern gal to the bone. I share in your idea of a friendship gift. I call them sursies. A sursie to me is a present, a surprise, a gift from the heart, just because..there is no because.

Miss Janice, I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoy your blog! What a "sweet" friendship gift to have on hand.....those moon pies. May I ask, did they come on a stick or did you get the sticks separately? I love the pretty little ribbon you added. I want to use the idea for my 4th of July guests and use a little patriotic ribbon. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHattie,
ReplyDeleteI bought the moon pies at Cracker Barrel, got the sticks at Michael's and placed the sticks inside the moon pies, then wrapped them in cello wrap and added the ribbon. How cute would these be for the 4th of July?!!!
Miss Janice
I put the little mini moon pies in my children's lunches. They love them!
ReplyDeleteYou are just too doggone cute!!! I love it! My friend lives in Chattanooga and she welcomes all of her guests with a Moon Pie on their bed because they are made there! She says they are delicious slightly warmed in the microwave!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable! I love it, and I think Just got hungry lol

I haven't seen the mint moonpies...but then I don't think I've been in the grocery store since Memorial Day weekend. Thank goodness Hank doesn't mind running errands like that on his way home!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of every month is seeing your next friendship gift....The moonpie lollys look very fetching in the basket....
ReplyDeleteGirl your presentation skill always amazes me! You really have a knack for turning something simple into amazing! I want a moon pie, the mint sounds delicious!
