Living on Cloud Nine: Clearbrook Farms

Happy first Friday in December...can I get a Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum. Well, I'll save the rum for Summer; how bout a bottle of Baileys? Whew, what a long week after the short one. Yay for Friday. I am getting my holly on today, braving the crowds and going to try to finish up my shopping.

1. BIRTHDAY BOY
My oldest angel turns 19 on Sunday....we will not be with him...finals study sessions and a Fraternity meeting so I sent him a Big Ole Birthday Box and we'll face time. Being apart on special days..part of the new college life adjustments so we celebrated when they were all home last weekend. So many Thanksgiving desserts that we just stuck a candle in his favorite pie..pumpkin!! 8:40am on December 4th, 1997 was one of the BEST moments of my life!! I LOVE You B!!!

2. TREE FOOD CREATIONS
Let's face it Holiday food is the BEST. Even better is when it is super festive like edible Christmas Tree arrangements. This Spinach Roll Up tree was a hit at a Party I hosted.

This cheese and grape one is my fav...

Look close, they used a pineapple of the base of the fruit tree

3. CLEARBROOK FARMS
Here is gift idea to please as food is always a perfect gift to give and sampler baskets of all kinds are the best! I feel in love with my first product after getting it at TJ Maxx. This company in Ohio has been making these old fashioned Grade A products for years and the quality shines. Best Fruit butters and preserves I have ever had.

4. POCKET DRESSES
I absolutely LOVE a cute dress with pockets. I am so over the moon for this plaid one from Cupshe. It is on sale for $25 and I feel so festive in it, especially with Hunters, boot socks and a slouchy beanie.
