Hello there! I was swirling in a tidal wave and tried to get here sooner, but the sands of time held me back. That and pretty things stealing my affections...
Oh the beauty in the drying flower. I love it just as much I think, as the blooming... Two kinds of love. But love all the same.
Anyhow, I was telling you of where I have been...
You see - there was a Par-Tee. Last night, in the Gypsy Garden. Mainly for man-boys, who had a ball and played all sorts of instruments. We worked so hard towards this party over the last few weeks. Fixing this and that - things we had not tackled for years. I was busy being a fairy, setting up chairs and tables and stringing lights in trees.
Then I hid, totally exhausted & was watching Seven Pounds.
However, one man-boy (Mister Lovee's band-mate) brought his lovely actress wife, and we joined the party, then escaped and sat on my bed and chatted so kindredly for hours - it was more than delightful indeed. She got to peek around the studio, and proclaimed that being in my chaotic office to be and what not, was like being backstage in a theater. So kind! She could have said "What a Whirlwind!" Mannequins, dollhouses, packaging station etc.
A lovely night. The boys were happy, and all ended dreamily...
I tried so hard to get here yesterday to share some wee faces that have been tugging on my pantaloons for several weeks. They got paint this weekend, and I promised them a visit with you yesterday, alas, I made a pie crust promise...
So this morning, as I slept, I saw faint glows of pastry faces...
I thought I was dreaming. A bunch of cake head faces lined up at the Patisserrie...
But the truth was, it wasn't a dream at all, the cake heads are here and ready to have a pastry fête.
Warm greetings from -
Almond Berry Macaron
Ambrosia Tea Cake
Berry Chocolate Truffle
Candied Orangle Peel Fondant Roll
Little Miss Bunny Cream Cheese Sweet Pie
And, last but not least, a little Pastry Love I had kept to myself, but know she wants to soar to new adventures...
Raspberry Cupcake Fancy
I am heading off to pop these wee faces in my shop in about 3 minutes...
Then, off to the tub in the yard and a little r&r this afternoon from weeks of a whole lot of hard work...
Practicing my Jackson Pollock moves?
Nope, that was just me and my big mouth amusing ourselves between rotten chores. Like I said, we have done lots of things in the last couple weeks (luckily we had help too), re-doing the deck/porch floor, removing brush, oh the list is too boring and long to share.
I saw 3 raw wood gates, and thought they would look lovely on one side of the porch. Ha, lucky for me and my bright ideas. I spent 5 hours, coating these with oodles of coats of paint. Why did I ever think I wouldn't be the one with that chore? Silly girl... But they look darn happy up on that porch, I tell ya...
Okay, off I go for now, See you sooooon!!
♥, V
