Theme Thursday: Hearts (and Flowers)


One of my most treasured recipes is my great-aunt Sister Christella's sugar cookie recipe.  It makes a vast quantity because she was the cook for a school with hundreds of children.  Her recipe calls for margarine (I only use butter) and milk or bourbon depending on your mood.







I am in love with these tiny waxflowers that Jill put in her tiny cart at Trader Joe's that only tipped over once.


When your tulips start to droop (or before that happens), you can bring them right back up with pennies in the vase.  Truth.


If I had snipped off those dark furry things, these lilies would have lasted longer and smelled better.


Desperate times call for desperate measures.  Instant chocolate pudding to the rescue!


This is the face of desperation.

Linking up with Cari and her much more poignant and thought provoking Theme Thursday.

  2. Great flower tips! I didn't know either of them.

    Baby girl is so cute, and the cookies and puddings just look yummmmm.
