Bella frosted her chocolate cupcakes with lavender-tinted buttercream and a few sprinkles of lavender buds. Daisy made her first-ever batch of chocolate chip cookies and burned her finger just like a real cook.
Bella,your cupcakes are beautiful! Daisy,your cookies look scrumptious! Remember,when you get burned from cooking,you're getting into your work. True mark of a great chef. I've got lots. Haha. Keep up the great work girls! Christina
A delightful Tea! I know Daisy will enjoy the journey of baking!
I remember my first bread; an overnight stay at Grandma's and a day in the kitchen learning the mysteries of yeast and flour. Complete with burnt fingers!
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

Those look delicious! Where do you get your lavender buds?
Farrah--The herb section at the health food store.

Has Bella tried this recipe?

They truly surpass any other!

Looks delicious! I have missed hearing about Bella's menus.
Those look scrumptious! And congrats to Daisy on her first cookies.
Also, I wanted to say thank you for introducing me to Grace Livingston Hill's books...I am in the middle of "An Unwilling Guest" and totally hooked!
Those look lovely. Do you know if you make tea with an infusion of lavender buds and add lemon juice, it will turn pink? Yes.
