I am crazy about Christmas trees here in South Florida that embrace an upscale and glamorous beachy look. This is an amazing example.
I spy lots of starfish and coral sea fans and seashells of all kinds and ornaments in a palette of coral and blue. Of course the background of the de Gournay wallpaper is stunning. The tree was done by Aerin Lauder. Here is a closeup.

I am so happy with my own Christmas tree. I spent the last couple of months hunting down chinoiserie, seashell, and sea life ornaments. My goal for today (while watching the World Cup) is to take some photos to post. Here is a little peek.

If you missed the Black Friday Sale on Frango Mint Chocolates, the deal is back for a One Day Sale. These chocolates have been a favorite of mine since I was a child. My family would go to Marshall Field's in Chicago and have lunch by the famous Christmas tree, and then buy a box. Frango Mints were originally made in the candy kitchen on the 13th floor. I stock up on them this time of year when they are on sale. They make great gifts!
Regularly priced at $30, they are on sale for $12 and you can get a bonus box if you like at checkout for $10.99 and they will arrive for Christmas. Free shipping with $25 order.
Shop the entire collection here.
Earlier this week I ordered the mints in the Field's 2022 tin. Sweet memories of past Chicago Christmases!
ReplyDeleteI must say I don't miss the winter weather though. Enjoy your Frango Mints.

ReplyDeleteI definitely do not miss winters in Chicago. Yikes. The Frango Mints make wonderful Christmas gifts.
DeleteWhich Christmas tree did you buy? Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you saw yesterday's post about this. Thank you!
DeleteThanks for the link. I ordered 5 boxes of the chocolates for gifts.
ReplyDeletePerfect gifts!
DeleteYour Christmas tree is beautiful. I've yet to try the Franco chocolates, and I am a chocolate freak. It's been quite cold here in the SF bay area. Some below freezing temperatures over night. (That is cold for us.) Some rain, but not enough. We really need much more.
ReplyDeleteIt will be chilly here for Christmas.
DeleteI'm curious as to which Christmas tree you bought. Looks lovely! I sure miss Marshall Fields this time of year. At least we can still get Frango mints.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you saw yesterday's post about my tree. So glad Frango Mints have survived.
DeleteThe monkeys with parasol are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteThey are favorites of mine too.
DeleteBeth, your Christmas tree is stunning!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
