We drove out to the Gulf Coast last weekend
to eat at our favorite restaurant!
We had Almond Fried Grouper, fries, coleslaw
and the best hushpuppies I’ve ever tasted!
They had the neatest tree...
don’t you love the blue crabs...
and fishing lures?
Everything was decorated for the holidays!
And I received a wonderful package from
Don’t you love the name of her blog?
I really love this little guy!
She has an Etsy store HERE filled
with her beautiful hand painted items!
Thanks Brenda...a sweet Florida blogger...for the gifts!
I’m linking with Sally Lee by the Sea
for a Coastal Christmas!
So now I have to ask...
do you have a Blue Crab 
in your holiday decorations this year?

oh my gosh thats the cutest tree, amazing, where do people find these things, are they really ornaments or did they just create them.
What a beautiful name for a blog and her work is truly angelic, lovely!
That's my kind of decoration! Wonder if I could crochet one up... Ha! Anyway, thanks for sharing. It makes me nostalgic for Montauk.
Great idea for a tree. But those ornaments from Brenda are ADORABLE!!!
Congrats on your win, Diane. I loved those ornies & could see them being fun all year long.
The blue tree is marvelous. Looks like the food was plentiful, too.
Have a beautiful day ~

What a nice gift you received. Love those handpainted treasures. You'll cherish them for years to come. I didn't know what to think about the blue crabs just reading the words, but on the tree they certainly are cute. Your meal sounds delicious!
That restaurant sounds like my kind of food! I miss the great seafood restaurants in Florida.

I don't have any blue crabs on my tree but that one is surprisingly pretty. Blue is a favorite color of mine for Christmas. In fact, I have a tree decorated with all blue birds and ornaments, just no blue crabs. Those hand painted ornaments are gorgeous. She is very talented. Am looking forward to your next gingerbread item. What could it be? ----------Shannon
Such a cute restaurant. I love their decorations on the tree. :)
Were you in Cedar Key, love that area, food is great! Love your ornaments from your friend.
Very cute tree! I wish I could have enjoyed that good meal with you guys.
Cute ornaments!
I don like the blue crap Christmas tree!
You guys take such great trips!!! The meal sounds yummy and the blue crab tree is perfect for a coastal Christmas! Those hand-painted ornaments made by you friend are gorgeous...lucky you!!!
No, Diane, I do NOT have a blue crab on my Christmas tree this year. In fact, even when I lived in Sarasota my Christmas tree was very traditional.
I did get a chuckle peeking at that tree, though. It was awfully appropriate for the restaurant! LOL
BTW, the ornaments you received are absolutely lovely. Where do all these people get this outrageous talent from?
Hugs,
Pam
I love that blue Christmas tree! Those hand painted ornaments are so cute! I'm going to check out her blog and etsy. hugs, Linda
The Florida Gulf is so pretty, Diane, and I bet the seafood food was so delicious. I love the restaurant's Christmas tree!
Oh my gosh, I LOVE that tree--and the ornaments on it! and your special angel ornaments...THANK YOU so much for stopping by and sharing my awesome news with me--I'm so excited--no, shocked! lol
I hope you're enjoying sunny days and warm weather.

Hi Diane, What a fun day and awesome place to have a wonderful dinner. Love the blue crab tree. So creative.
Congrats on your win from talented Brenda. She paints devine and a very sweet friend. You surely received some lovely treasures from her.
Thank you for stopping by and your kind comments. Wishing you a wonderful season building up to Christmas.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
HI Diane! OH, that looks like a great place to eat some seafood! ;) Love the tree and I do like the little crabs! The little painted pieces are so sweet!
thanks for popping in to see me.
be a swetie,
Shelia ;)
What unique and cute ornaments! And the items you rec'd from Brushed by an Angel are just adorable!
Glad you enjoyed your dinner.
A really cute tree. :))
So sorry, but I just can't resist. My first thought was, "I'm glad that it's only the tree that has crabs". Naughty me. The tree was cute, but let's talk about that red door. It stole my heart. Your food sounds great! Wonderful treasures from a wonderful angel.
What lovely orniments! Such a lovely gift.
I had to laugh when I read about the Blue Crab! I have one but not like you might think. My daughter dressed up as Blue Crab and took part in a festival in Oregon. She danced down the street and ended up on the front page of the local paper. I have that photo somewhere.. lol
She is a free spirit, my Blue Crab!
Love'n hugs,
Mona
P.S. She is the one on my sidebar playing a little Uke or guitar.
LOL the tree with the blue crabs is hysterical.
I soooooo would love that restaurant!! What a great themed tree and it's so pretty!
LOVE, love, love those blue crabs!!! So adorable :O)
