A Fool for You....

Yesterday we had our
Valentine Progressive Tea Party
and for dessert we served
Raspberry Fools....


Sweet little cups with a perfect name for
Valentines...don't you think?

It's a super easy recipe..
and we thought we'd share it with you
because you might want to serve it to 
someone you are plumb crazy about :)


Raspberry Fool

2 cups raspberries
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
Put raspberries and sugar in a bowl and smash.  
You may also put into a food processor to puree
 ~ depends on how you like your fruit!

2 cups whipping cream 
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
(we've also used almond!)
In a bowl add the cream, sugar and vanilla extract and mix
 with an electric beater until stiff peaks form.  
Gently fold in the raspberry mixture, being careful not to over mix.

Put into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. 
(This is a great make-ahead dessert you can do the night before as well!)

Top with additional raspberries

Makes 6 servings.



Enjoy!!

where you can make your own
 conversation hearts....

Creative Time


Last Thursday night
we had our lovely stamping guru
Sherri lead us in one of our classes....


She went through each station showing everyone
what to do before she "let us loose!"


Cutting, Pasting & Gluing...
we felt like we were in kindergarten again!


We got to "Smooch" paint on our backgrounds


Make cute little embellishments



We got to stamp patterns on our papers


let's not forget coloring the stamps!


Adding more embellishments



Then we assembled the pictures....
so much fun!
It was kind of amazing how everyone had the same idea....
but how different each of our pictures turned out!

Have a
Creative Day!

Raising A Glass to Friendship

We know you can see this glass....if you look close, there is some etching on this glass.
We sell these in the store and they are one of our
most favorite items.
Why?
Because of the story that goes behind them....
a tradition for friends
Isn't that sweet...
Glasses stored on the shelf for when a friend would stop by.
"un verre d'amitie"
A special glass just for you....
Today, on Valentine's Day
We'd like to raise our glass to you our friends!
Know that we'd gladly etch a glass to have on hand for each and every one of you!

Happy Valentine's Day!
~Karla & Karrie

Showin' the Love

It's the sweetest time of the year....

Sweet little heart decorations
and love birds

Little signs
to show how you feel

In Great Britain,
Valentine's Day began to be
popularly celebrated
around the seventeenth century.
By the middle of the eighteenth century,
it was common for friends and lovers in all social classes
 to exchange small tokens of affection
 or handwritten notes


 Americans probably began exchanging
hand-made valentines
 in the early 1700s
In the 1840s,
 Esther A. Howland began to sell
the first mass-produced valentines in America.

Like those in Great Brittan did in the 17th century...
we prefer to give little hearts, decorations or sweet boxes
instead of sending Valentine Cards....
Maybe it's time to start a new tradition this year!
So tell us....
How do you show the love?
