Can you send a piece up here? With only two people in the household, I seldom bake. My DH loves cooking, so he cooks for the most.The cakes look surely delicious.

I will send you a piece of cake if you will send me some cold winter weather and snow if you have some !
You've been busy on your blog! this cranberry cake sounds so good, and I have the ingredients here to try it, so it can be our special sunday treat tomorrow.

I can almost smell your bread from here and I love the glimpses into your life, the shoes (wait til lucy sees these!) and the clothes hanging on the line.

I went to good will today. Found some darling long skirts, and I made myself stay AWAY from denim blue! I think if I were to say "the blues" in any other color it would probably also be grey, or drab brown. Just not my colors. I love blue!
