Abbie’s treasures came in a beautiful box. It was filled with lovely pieces I know I’ll be using when I put together a friend’s retirement scrapbook this spring! It also contained a pic from 1924 of a young woman that was gorgeous. It was so exciting to get something sparkly just for me! Thanks to Abbie for so much fun. I am sending hers off today…
Karla and Beth’s recipe book is unbelievable. 42 bloggers sent these two creative ladies their “sweet treat” recipe. Karla and Beth were kind enough to coordinate them into a recipe book. Each book has a different cover decorated by a participant. When the book arrived we were just about to sit down to dinner. We passed it around the table and everyone tagged what they want made first. Nothing like the tried and true recipes of friends and I am excited to get started. This is so beautiful a book it is being displayed in our kitchen. My little one keeps bringing it all over the house and reading it! Actually, she wants to add Abbie’s treasures to some of the pages! Didn’t that work out well!
Thanks to all for the kind wishes for my son. I am happy to report he is up and around and back to his normal self (whew!), taking New York City by storm!

So many delicious treats you received--lots of treasures! So very glad your son is doing better! Happy week, my friend ((HUGS))
lovely packages! thanks for posting them.
I live just outside of the city and am happy to deliver any care packages to your son. As an artist, I know what it is like to be living in NY and no family nearby.
The city is great but it can also be challenging!
Hope he is feeling better! Once a Mom (or in my case 3x) always the desire to care and coddle is with us!
Dear Tara,
Glad to hear your son is feeling better!
What lovely treats you got! I think it's so cute that your daughter seems to love the cookbook as much as you do! :)
Hope you have a wonderful week. Are you enjoying the sunshine on LI, too? It's COLD, though!
xoxo,

Glad to hear your son is better. It must be so hard to parent from afar. I dread the day my children head to college...

Hi Tara- What a lovely book! Absolutely gorgeous, actually. I'm sure you will use it well ... the recipe for chocolate raspberry cake in your first image is intriguing me ... maybe it would look nice on square plates?! :)
