Hello there friends in Blogland! It has been a very busy week here at the Honey Girl Studio. I'm in the Valentine mode creating with all things red, pink and sparkly.
Remember those over the top ruffly chooched up Valentines from days gone by? Well they are back! I posted these on Ebay tonight (low starting bid too).
This is a 5 inch square and 1.5 inch thick shadow box. The little guy in the inside is Cupid's cousin. He's known as the "Prince of Pink"! He stands out from the background by 1/2 inche wooden blocks so it looks like he's flying! I just posted him on Ebay tonight.
Isn't he a dandy in his pink sparkly shirt. His job is to make chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine's Day!
I went antiquing with my friends Rita and David and bought this cute little pink milk glass dish. I didn't even know there was such a thing as pink milk glass! It was one of the first things I saw and just had to have it! We had a great time.....lots of laughing and lots of trying to figure out what some of the antiques were and what they were used for! If you are ever in the Northeastern part of Ohio around the Akron area or even in North Western Pa., get on Interstate 76 and get off at Exit 44 which is the Rootstown exit. There you will find the huge I-76 Antique Mall. It is heated (very important when you are in Ohio in winter), well lit, clean (another plus since I'm kind of a germ freak!) and they have a vast array everything from glassware to furniture!
Rita and David and I are planning to hit a flea market or antique store once a week this summer around the area since we all are in education and have the summers off. I will keep you posted on the Antiquing Adventures! Ohhhhh, that sounds like it could turn into another blog!
Ok now onward to adventures in cookies. As I type I am baking the most deeeee-licious cookies! And best of all they are super easy to make. You need the following:
1 Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Deluxe Moist Cake Mix
1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 stick of melted butter
2 eggs
1 Tbs. vanilla
Throw everything into a bowl, hit it with the mixer! Plop by the tablespoon onto a greased or parchement lined cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
Whew! Baby! They are so chocolately and super with a cold glass of moo juice!
I know Linda will want to try this recipe!
Have a good week pals! Hope to hear from you!
Smiles-
Tootie
