Mistletoe Market in Perry, Georgia

When I was home in Georgia recently, I went to the Mistletoe Market in Perry.  It was a great way to kick off the Christmas season with 100 vendors showing off their fun and festive products.

Mistletoe Market is hosted by the ladies of the Balvaunuca Club in Perry at the Georgia National Fairgrounds, which can be seen from I-75 traveling south of Macon, Georgia.  I'm not sure what their date is for next year, but I do hope to attend!

Here's some photos of the cute loot they offered...

Custom signs...

Gifts for the youngins...

Gifts for the grown up girls...

I bought these burlap placemats and napkins.  Can't wait to get them monogrammed in black...interlocking script, of course!

This was my absolute favorite booth...look for this to happen next year in my home.  Obsessed!  {my daddy would be proud of this new obsession}

Love these little boots...the inserts are interchangeable and can be monogrammed.

Monogrammed burlap pillows and runners...yes ma'am!

I said yes to the red velvet cookies!

Crafting areas were set up for the youngins...

Cute wreath...burlap and tartan!

Custom ornaments...

Love the stockings...personalized.

 

You can learn more about the Mistletoe Market here and they are also on Facebook here.

After having a fun time shopping, I headed to the square in downtown Perry for lunch at my favorite spot...The Swanson.  Again, if you are traveling I-75, you must stop in for lunch here!  This is the best place around for Southern comfort food and it's within walking distance of the cute shops in downtown Perry.

I'm sure I've blogged about this restaurant before, but it really is a favorite of mine.  They are always packed for lunch...so that says a lot about their food and service!


Of course, I simply must award The Swanson with "FIVE SILVER SPOONS" for their excellent food and service!

December Friendship Gifts...Mine & Pepi's

I've been busy putting together my "Friendship Gifts" for the Christmas holiday season...

I found some tres cute Christmas Party Printables on Etsy at Amanda's Parties To Go.  I'll be using a lot of the cute designs throughout the month.  The treat toppers were perfect for my peppermint candy cane sticks and mint M & M's.

Just print them out, fill up a cello bag full of treats and staple.  "Friendship Gifts" made easy!

Y'all the mint M & M's are soooo good!

Since Pedro and Pepi will be visiting others and entertaining during the holidays, they wanted their own little "Elf Friendship Gifts."  I mixed frosted cheerios, mini marshmallows, yogurt covered raisins, yogurt covered pretzels, and white M & M's.

Silver cupcake cups...and voila, "Elf Food!"

The elves love to entertain and party.  Pedro is learning a lot about entertaining from Pepi!
