Holiday Cookie Swap♥

Hello everyone,
I love to bake and when I was asked to co-host a Holiday Cookie Swap Linky Party I was so delighted...
Please link your favorite cookie recipe on the page tab at top of this post.
Now this is the story of my new favorite Holiday cookie.

I was in my favorite store (Walmart) last week and I saw a delicious Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark candy bar. A beautiful photo of two Peppermint Bark Thumbprint cookies was pictured on the package. I was hooked. I picked up the ingredients and home I went. The recipe was printed on the inside of the Peppermint Bark package with two other delicious recipes I'm thinking about baking for the Holidays.

Different ways to serve a yummy cookie is--Serve cookies on a crisp white pedestal plate or my favorite way is to serve cookies is with a hot pot of tea.

Save a few in a covered glass container for guests.

Wrap some cookies in a colorful package to give as a hostess gift or for a guest to take home.

I made a holiday dish towel to hang on my oven. I love iron-on transfers...

Halloween Tea and Cupcakes

Hello everyone,

Last weekend we attended my husband's 55th high school reunion in the Bay Area...We grew up in Silicon Valley when it wasn't Silicon...It had beautiful fruit orchards and wide open spaces. I'm so grateful to be living the beautiful life where I live today.

This weekend we are celebrating Halloween and I made some Halloween confetti cupcakes and a pot of tea.

My St. Patrick rose is blooming and couldn't resist bringing in a bouquet for my tea table.

The cupcakes are decorated with orange frosting and black bat sprinkles.

The tea set is CH Fields Haviland Limoges GDA France

Orange sprinkles, black trick or treat cupcake papers and pumpkin picks dress up the confetti cupcakes.

The beautiful golden color and a hint of green edge the petals of the St. Patrick rose.

A small Halloween pumpkin tea napkin is adding to the festive table.

Thank you for visiting and have a Happy and Safe Halloween Eve.

Joyously,

Betty

Traveling Tuesday

Hello everyone,

I'm so happy you have come to visit Traveling Tuesday.

Today is the last post in my series...To see all posts Go HERE.

I loved visiting Niagara Falls. We stayed on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

The views are so beautiful. We drove along the Parkway and I photographed one of the seven NATURAL wonders of the world. The Horseshoe falls is the largest. And compared to the Maid of the Mist tour boat I believe it's BIG and amazing.

As the boat passed by I snapped a photo of the bright red rain gear. The wet and wild cruise aboard the Maid of the Mist is legendary. To stand in the mist behind the thundering Horseshoe Falls must be phenomenal.
