Style is in the air...how "cool," and with a great big chill inside the freezer, this 1940's refrigerator is short and perfect for those outdoor BBQ's and parties.  Keeps all your drinks chilled and it doesn't matter how many people you have over, you will always have a smile from someone on this "talk piece" of a fridge.

This collection is hard to resist.  A cookie jar collection brings a smile to everyone's face, whether young or old. Many are taken back to their grandma's kitchen with the smell of cinnamon, chocolate or vanilla wafting in the air and the selection of that one "perfect" cookie taken carefully from her cookie jar. Collecting cookie jars is such a fun thing to do.  Having over 300 cookie jars was gettings things a little congested in the kitchen. Selling most of them was easy.  However, keeping those that are a "talk piece" have always placed everyone's eyes on the counters with a great big smile.
 From left to right are Goldilocks valued at $800.00, Smiley valued at $1,600.00 and Little Red Riding Hood valued at $1,260.00 (if they are all in mint condition).

So what happened to Tip and Mitten gramma?  2 year-old Tristan loves ice-cream and has to enjoy it while listening to any cute story from Gramma.  He is such a good listener, that if I stop to ask questions, he will strike right back and tell it like it is.

Anything special on your cake, I always ask...She said, "Orchids please". Small, simple and lots of color.  This 8" cake for 20 people is a PiƱa Colada cake for a 40th birthday.  Not one cake has ever been the same.  Perhaps another cake may have the same idea, but whatever comes to mind as I begin to design, is where I begin a creation.  I then prepare for fresh flowers, fresh fruit or detail in icing.

A cool January sunrise with a great cup of coffee, makes it impossible to watch and not dream.
Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and a sky of the sky of a tree that can be called life; which can grow higher than soul, because life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.  I can see so much love in this tree... can you?
