Baby........... It's Chilly Outside

As the summer season ends and the Fall and Winter season approach it brings with it chilly weather.
The time changes to day light savings time in most parts of the country. It gets darker earlier and all I can think of is pulling out my soup and stew recipes. Comfort food for the body to keep us warm and content.
Nothing hits the spot like a bowl of warm soup!

Lovin' A Good Cup of Coffee

I do not profess to being a serious coffee drinker. Some would say I'm not a real coffee connoisseur at all. 

But............I do love my flavored coffees. We have a Keurig machine.

I like the change in the seasons as it is always a new flavor of coffee to try. I have blueberry every morning.........YES I said blueberry, yum! But after dinner all bets are off, carmel apple pie, creme brulee', spicy eggnog, almond biscotti and cherry swirl are just to name a few. What better way to warm the body and soul than with a terrific cup of Joe!!

Blue Hydrangeas

Ivory Dogwood

Pink Roses

And what better way to enjoy  a perfect
cup of coffee than in these pretty mugs

In the Mood for Baking

Today I am feeling like Apples and the start of the Fall season. So I don't know if your hooked like me on all the recipes that are turning up on facebook but I share everything so it saves on my time line. Then I can try them later. I made the following recipe and it turned out great. I made two of them, one for home and one for work. Needless to say they were a hit. This recipe tastes just like Jewish Apple Cake and is very easy to make. (my kind of recipe)

Thinking of Fall

As I sit here on my deck on this August summer day, with my twin grandsons playing army and super heroes guys behind me and thinking of my baby grandson that I miss so much (he will soon be moving closer),  I realize that I haven't blogged in quite some time!

So I am back and will try to get better at this. I am starting to think Fall and new Fall designs. I can't believe that it is almost upon us, but anyone can see it if you just go into your favorite shops. From clothes to crafts everyone is trying to get a jump on the season. Here are some of my favorite tried and true designs.

This is an apples heart candy dish and a large Fall leaves bowl

A beautiful Sunflower beverage set and a Chip and Dip set with Mums









Just a few of Morning Glories Fall piece ready to enjoy and serve your favorite recipes in.

And soon to join the Morning Glories family a new Baby Section inspired by our new Grandson Christopher here with Mommy and Daddy.

 

Very proud parent!

 

I am so excited about this new baby section that will carry piggy banks, candy dishes, bottle holders, wine glasses for Mommy and Daddy and much more. Be sure to check it out in the next coming weeks! (Here's a sneak peek)

 

Inspired by a family member for their new grandson Daniel they asked me to paint the pattern from the babies comforter set onto the piggy bank and this was my interpretation of that design. Also personalized with the babies name too!
