~GIVE ME SOME SUGAR..~

Yep..that's what I am all about.  Things that taste good and look cozy...but first the sugar!

 

My sweet daughter came to visit me.. and brought me these 6 inch sugar cookies that she makes.
 

Many years ago I gave her my sugar cookie recipe and she has tweaked it to make it her own.  They positively melt in your mouth.  She doesn't say..but I think they have lots ...and lots...of butter.

 

 

 

Believe me, I've asked...all she says is that she will make them for me.  Bless her little bakin' heart!

 

 

Spice cupcakes made from scratch.  It could not have been a better birthday. I was...so happy.  She does such a great job.  

I have a bit of a thing about bows.  I tie them on everything..almost. 

 

Am I bragging about my next to youngest child.  YES!  I am! 

I am so proud of her.  I have great kids..and would you believe that all seven of them cook and bake??

Is that seven...yes.   

No doctors or lawyers... :)   Sooo...anyway..where was I..??  Sorry, my mind wandered....Oh yes..

 

 I love my Halloween table this year...even if it is a bit messed up.  Perhaps I'll set it with china for Marty's Table Top Tuesday.  ???   :)  IF I don't forget.  Do you think it's my age?   Shhhh...never mind.

 

I couldn't help it.  I know I said I wasn't going to buy anything this year..but I had to buy another black cake plate.  The BIG one.  I had one but..bakin' daughter sort of borrowed it and then ..um..owned it!  It happens with daughters. 

 

(yes...that's birdie feathers on the floor in the background...  HEAVY sigh..

 

 and then I saw the tea pot.  Both are by Rosanna Rococo Noir.  There were offered on Amazon. 

I ordered the creamer and sugar too.  I found those on ebay..but so far they have not arrived.  They are in the exact style of the teapot.

Cute?  :)

Thank heavens daughter's aren't into black decor...  Yet!

 

This is the post I did a couple of days ago..and it wouldn't work.  Fellow blogger Sandie

@ Chatty Crone helped me..figure out this complicated situation by telling me to.."just erase the whole thing and start over!"    It worked.  She is SO smart.  Is this where I say "DUH??"  :)

 

Sending you love,
