Baby Love

I've been working on a few baby things. My friend Kelley is hosting a baby shower for another friend's daughter. Banner for the shower! A little collage to see the details...

Matching hat and those spoken for booties. Peter Rabbit is one of my favorite childrens books to read aloud. Kelley is using Peter Rabbit as a theme for the shower.

Baby spoon! I collect them... because you never know when one might come in handy.

it's all about...

Craving Lemon Cake

I've been on a lemon kick lately. I suppose it all started with that lemon cupcake and french lemonade. My mother used to make a mouth watering lemon cake ... I couldn't get it off my mind...so the only thing to do was make one. Eggs from my hens, Madeline and Meg... Beat them till frothy, then add the cake mix....

After popping the cake in the oven, time to make the glaze... lemon juice,butter, and powdered sugar

Melt it all together in a pot...

then spoon on top...

Voila! lemon cake. Lemony yummyliciousness!

Baby Love!

So I've been working on some baby things....spring is in the air you know. These little blue and yellow booties are made from a baby alpca yarn, and are amazingly soft...and are already spoken for. But, these little darlings are being offered in our etsy shop. they are made of the softest 100% cashmere. Sooooo soft!

Sweet Mary Janes with tiny flower buttons.

Baby booties, don't you love them!

A Great Find!

While I was out antiqueing a couple of weeks ago, I happened upon Dawn Edmomdson's french milled soap! I was so tickled. I share Dawn's love of birds. And the sight of a blue egg always brings a smile to my face. I just love the packaging.... it's almost a shame to take the eggs out to put them in a pretty dish. Five eggs! They smell heavenly.

Maybe I will keep them in the packaging for just a little longer... just because it is a pleasure to behold! Ohhh, be sure to check out Dawn's blog, The Feathered Nest. (link on my blog roll)
