Happy Valentine’s Day!

My Valentine this year to Joe was inspired by the television show FEUD: Capote vs. The Swans. I included everything a glamour gal from the 60s loves – chocolate, flowers, jewelry, and big hair! Happy Valentine’s Day Joe!

Anise Cookies

It’s that time of year, and I’ve been experimenting with some new cookies to add to my old favorites. Bake a couple to test, and freeze the rest of the dough for a future baking session!

Santa Head Planter

This treasure came from my in-law’s house. My mother-in-law used it to hold Christmas cards. It was manufactured in Japan by the Samson Import Company in 1964.
