Camellia's and Cookies

Good morning is everyone ready for Christmas.. My family will celebrate Sunday at momma's. I can't wait to see everyone and watch the little ones, their excitement is contagious. 
This time of year can be such a busy, stressful and even a sad time for some of us, so I decided it was time for a field trip to see some pretty camellia's.  I picked up momma and headed out to the Coastal gardens & bamboo farms 
to see what was blooming on the Judge Arthur Solomon Camellia Trail. The trail has grown a lot since last February so much so that momma could not walk the entire trail. 
As far as we could see there was beautiful camellia's blooming. If you are local or are coming to Savannah soon you must go .. If you have been before you must go back the entire farm has had major work and new additions just since I was there in early summer..

Here is a blog post and slideshow from my visit in February .. click here Judge Arthur Solomon Camellia Trail






this is just a few of what we saw, I will share more I promise. But first I have to get back to baking, painting and finishing Christmas gifts.


Have a few cookies and head over to
 Miss Susan's @ A Southern daydreamers
and see what everyone is sharing for Outdoor Wednesday..


hugs and Merry Christmas to everyone, Cherry

Want to see what " Tybee Chic " looks like....

The first cottage we are visiting is Tybee Tides . It is a rental and available through Mermaid Cottages
so if you love it, give them a call and head to Tybee or if you would like to see more pictures click here
Mermaid Cottages

The front porch was big, with views of  the marsh. This side of the island has the most amazing sunsets, so I'm betting the front porch is everyone's favorite spot to be.

just inside is an open living, dining, kitchen area which would be perfect for hanging out with family and friends.. There was a cute sign in the cottage that said "Friends, of friends can't invite friends"..lol love it..

The walls and ceilings are all painted white which made everything look so clean and fresh. The curtain rods are bamboo, the sheers have palm trees on them and the kitchen cabinet knobs are star fish.

don't ya just love the old chanty

got to have oyster shells

adorable bedroom pinks, turquoises and green
coral's, yellow's and a soft lime


and saving the best for last... The Master ~ is that headboard not the coolest thing ever !!!

one more time...  "Tybee Chic " ... oh yeah I'm in love..
