Frosted Gingersnaps

{Frosted Gingersnaps - available in my Etsy Shop}

I love the sweets of Christmas.

Each year we go to my sister-in-laws house for Christmas eve and she always has the most amazing assortment of frosted, sprinkled, sugared and dipped-in-chocolate confections. That is my favorite part of the graze-a-thon. I want to try one of everything but there are usually like 20 different kinds of cookies and sweets!

One cookie that reminds me of older times is the gingersnap. I love the spicy bite that they have. I like them frosted, or just plain rolled in sugar.

These little ceramic disk charms from Marsha Neal Studios reminded me of gingersnaps. I wired them up with a loop of chocolate-y nugget pearls and wrapped the excess wire around the top for a spicy little detail.

Wherever you are today, no matter what you might be celebrating, I wish you the joy of giving,  the warmth of family and friends and the peace of the season.

Merry Christmas!

  2. LOVE the earrings - so gorgeous, and perfect for winter-time! I am also a fan of ginger-snaps!

    (although I sometimes get them confused with brandy-baskets which I know are very different things really; luckily, however, I like them too!!)
