I just found my cookies in one of the most beautiful wedding blogs I've ever seen. http://www.casandoideias.com/.

Cookie of the Day

This monogram is based on my Wedgwood Inspired cookie but with a greenish tint.

Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone

Since I've been stuck on black and white lately, I thought I'd try something different. It turns out that Brush Embroidery Cookies look good in green and pink, too.


But I can't resist posting this one.

Black and White Cookies

These black and white cookies were a special request for a party with a black and white theme. I'm not quite finished with the whole order but six dozen of these on display will look pretty good, I think! Get some of your own in my Etsy store.

My Country Kitchen in Chicago

I really love spending time in my kitchen. When I'm in it, I forget I'm in the city!



I adore this cabinet filled with tiny things.

These Cow Print Cookies were inspired by my Memorial Day weekend trip to Wisconsin. They're available in my Etsy store.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been leaving such lovely comments on my blog.

Spring Cookies

The weather here in Chicago is finally starting to warm up so I've decided to bring back my spring assortment.

Since the bread turned out so well, we decided to try something a little more advanced. The recipe for this pizza dough is from recipezaar.com.

Val's Visit

We had our first guest in our new apartment yesterday. Val is a fellow CIA grad and an Etsy seller. She brought us these patriotic cookies that come in all kinds of yummy flavors like cinnamon and lemon ginger. Visit DecoCookie on Etsy to see these and more of her beautiful creations.

Taco night.

We had some issues with the wine bottle opener.

Amigurumi!

This super cute Itty Bitty Kitty is made by Sereneonion.

Homemade Bread

We found this recipe for Simple Bread on The Heart of New England.com. I was surprised by how quick and easy it was to make. The end product was super delicious.

Back in Business

City Life

We started an herb garden on the back porch.

My Favorite Place

The kitchen is my favorite room in the new apartment. I hope to be spending a lot of time there now that my Etsy store is back online.

After weeks of packing, traveling, and unpacking we finally made it to Chicago, but not without a detour through Wisconsin.
