    Last year I loved the peppermint sticks you had in a box & put out everywhere. So I swagged my staircase, hanging bronze baskets at all the bow points & filled with the peppermint sticks!! It was glorious ….. until the next morning. I am in CA zone 9b & I was greeted first thing in the morning, on the stairway & down the stairs & all over the bannister with zillions of ANTS!! Here, where it doesn’t ever get really cold, our candies need to stay wrapped!🤣🐜. But it did look gorgeous before the invasion of ants!

    Hi Linda hope you don’t mind my chipping in but thought you’d like to know that historically ‘nosegays’ were made from scented botanicals to mask unpleased odours....’tussie mussies were Victorian mini poses given to loved ones which included flowers with a hidden meaning....there is a whole area known as ‘the language of flowers’...which is very interesting and worth a look at....😊
    .....I put broken jewellery .....from the charity shop into my tussie mussies
    Oh, and I make my overnight oats in individual kilner or mason jars

    Hey Linda ...not to add to any extra" "to the decor fun" but Luminaries down the sidewak would be fun....NO stress... paper lunch bags - white or brown left plain or dressed up with stencil / cut-out, etc. with sand and candles in jars ...We do this during the holidays and it's very showy!!! Have fun!

    My mom made Tussie Mussies in the late 70’s early 80’s. They were made with lace and dried hydrangea and then dried flowers were hot glued in.
    (Lots of burned finger’s). Bows were added and a drop of essential oils. She shipped these all over.

It is a good way to keep busy and you can always give many decorations away to others and donate to charities etc

    I am definitely old enough to know what a tussy mussy is, and have heard the term for years. When you put the greenery sprig up to your shirt... it reminded me that , back in the day the brooch was actually a sterling silver little cone with a pin to attach to your blouse that you put a little water soaked tussy mussy in to keep it fresh . When I hear someone using candy as decor, I think , am I the only one who worries about waking up to a mantel of ants!!!! A little red and white bakers twine and a jingle bell to tie on the boxed candy sticks would be simple and budget friendly. I get both at the Dollar Store. I actually get the soft peppermint sticks there too! Taylors menu sounds amazing! Christmas morning tamales... yes, please!!!!
