Coastal Christmas Trees - Part 2

And we have a winner for our Coastal Christmas Tree Facebook Page Drawing!

Dawn Jensen Bailey submitted this pretty tree covered in natural oyster shells and starfish.  Don't you just love her style?  Pretty and so natural for us "beachcombers"!

And now to show off a few more of our entries.  I am so glad that we had a random drawing, there were just too many fabulous designs to choose from, and there is NO WAY that our "crew" could have picked just one beach decorated holiday tree. This is just a small sampling of nearly 100 entries - everything from nautical to tropical. We think our Facebook "likers" are incredibly talented and we are so appreciative of allowing us a glimpse into their coastal homes.

Enjoy these 20 inspirational coastal Christmas tree selections for 2016.

Harbor Lights - A Holiday Cocktail

Harbor Lights Festive Holiday Cocktail

A festive, pretty pink drink that is light, refreshing and contains just the right amount of bubbly to make party!

• 1 oz Harvard Ave. Gin
• 1/2 oz. Simple Syrup
• 1/2 oz Fresh Meyer Lemon Juice
• 2 Teaspoons Muddled Cranberry Sauce
• 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters
• Ice Cubes
• 2 oz. cold sparkling wine

Muddle the cranberry sauce in a cocktail shaker slightly before adding the gin, simple syrup, lemon juice and bitters. Add ice and shake well. Double strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass and top with the sparkling wine. Garnish with fresh cranberries skewered on a cocktail pick.  

I promise your guests will love this fun cocktail!

Created in our Mid-Century Modern Coupe Glasses, we also think that this festive cocktail would be beautiful in martini glasses too!  

Or Maybe the Pilsner School of Fish?

or Stemless Starfish Martinis? 

Have a wonderful weekend!
