I just had to share with you
some of this yummy
 joy 



 TasteBud's Floral Kitchen

lovely English tea treats
were so romantically displayed
using beautiful edible florals




the cupcakes at the 
Cupcake Farewell Party
were not only pretty but delicious

lots more to share with you
but for now I have to catch up with all of your posts I missed
can't wait to see what you all have been up to.......

Koralee, THAT was one magical morning for me to come down the escalator to the lobby and see you sitting on that bench; I KNEW IT WAS YOU even without seeing your beautiful face from the front....and then when I called out your name, you turned and it was you. Your reaction to me was so fresh and happy, our meeting was just what I knew it would be because the happiness you share HERE on your blog is really WHO YOU ARE.....thank YOU for a Saturday I will NEVER FORGET....and these creations are so lovingly captured by your talented eye for color and light. I am going to be blogging a post this coming Friday on my meeting with you. MAY I USE one of your pictures of your feet? teeeeheeee.....you know, one of these fabulous colorful photos where you photography your feet or a cupcake or something light and pretty? I will link back to you...let me know. It was just too magical of a meeting not make a post about YOU!

GLAD YOU ARE BACK and now, it is back to the clasroom, hey? I MEANT TO ASK YOU, how is your back????

Flowers and baked goods...two of my favorite things! My first job was in Solvang--Danish community near Santa Barbara. I visited the bakeries so often that I earned the nickname "cookie queen."

Have a wonderful week.

I keep running into things about the Creative Connection event. I first read about it on Kelly Rae Roberts blog (love her work) and now I am intrigued. Perhaps will have to make an effort to go next year.

Your blog is soooo pretty! I love all the colors and inspiration you have on here.

Blessings!
Lisa

I'm always so impressed when I'm served something with an edible flower on the plate. Of course I have never been able to make myself actually eat one...but, it makes a meal so special!
