~ Fairy Picnic Basket and Simple & Sweet Fridays #74~

I saw the cutest idea ever and had to make one!
A Fairy Picnic Basket.
I bought a picnic basket at the thrift store.
 Line the basket with a black liner.
Trim the excess with scissors and then add a ground cover.
I used blue star creeper,
add some old vintage plates and an empty bottle of wine.
I found my fairies at Summers Past Farms in Flinn Springs.
But, you could probably find them online. 

Instead of  using all plates in the holders I added
 some small vases and picked some fresh roses.
Of course, a little fairy under a glass looks cute!

I attached a little fairy holding onto the cork!
The picnic basket is a perfect place for the fairies to play!
I also added some new fairy food to my Etsy.
Of course, the fairies need some fruits and vegetables!




Happy Thursday everyone!

~New Dahlia and Sweet & Simple Fridays #73~

Our dahlias were starting to bloom this week.
 I had to share with you some photos I took.
I hated to pick the beautiful blooms, 
but I wanted to enjoy them in the house!
Sweet signs of summer in the house.
Stan picked our Anna Apples today.
So I had to make an Apple and Pear Crisp.
Ina Garten's recipe is the best!
Saving sunflowers seeds for next year.
Our first watermelon.
Remember when I shared the 
hydrangea wreath last week with you.
Well, it's starting to turn purple. 
Still looks pretty good, wouldn't you say!
Hope you were able to play in your gardens this week.
Looking forward to being inspired by all of you!

~Cooking with Flowers and Simple & Sweet Fridays #64~

I bought the new cookbook, 
"Cooking with Flowers"
by Miche Bacher of Mali B Sweets.
All the recipes looked so good.

I had to make the chocolate and lavender biscotti. 
A very easy recipe and they were delicious!
Wrapped them up and gave them to friends.
The next recipe I made was a Borage Spritzer.
Combine 1/2 cup Borage Basil Simple Syrup

1/2 cup Borage Vodka

3 cups Seltzer Water
8 Cucumber Slices
8 Basil Leaves

Borage Ice Cubes

A wonderful refreshing drink for Springtime!




Happy Thursday everyone!
