Hello, Pretty Bird! // A sock with a hole in the heel turns into a nice slipcover for Big Mama // My favorite mug broke // But a friend's late Christmas gift replaced it perfectly!
I've never been crazy about holidays, but a few months ago decided to put
more effort into making holidays special. Cue making and mailing cards,
baking treats to share, and trying to spread as much cheer as I can.
A Valentine drawn by a client in art class // Making my own Valentine's cards // Delicious macaroons from Pistache // Gorgeous chocolates, also from Pistache // Cupcakes with cookie dough inside, and a tiny cookie on top so you know
what you're getting // Tiny cookie trumps tiny cupcake!
Raiding my parents' kitchen for all their baking goodies, and I saw these:
Imitation Almond Flavor, Imitation Butter Flavor, Imitation Rum Extract, Imitation Brandy Flavor, and… Red?
I appreciate how the Red isn't Imitation. It's not Imitation, it's just Red.
ReplyDeleteIt's strangely inspirational, isn't it?
DeleteAllison, are you telling me there is not one condo available in all of Del Boca Vista?!
ReplyDeleteThey went like hotcakes!
DeleteImitation vanilla in the oven makes your whole house/apartment smell yum! Those bottles look as old as the ones my mom and step-father have in their house!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those old glass bottles... makes you feel like you're concocting something major in a lab, haha.
