bits and pieces from the last weeks
.
so many wild tulips in my garden
.
i´m a NO-MAKE-UPPER
just a redness-hider
who loves a bit of lipstick and nail polish though
.
since i´m going to have a bit of exploratory surgery in a few weeks
i started to look for little treats to look forward to afterwards
like getting a new haircut
wearing those dangerously white and utterly comfortably Chloe jeans
(found at TK Maxx, yay)
for as long as i´m not allowed to work in the workshop or garden
watching my geraniums come to life again
after they´ve spent the winter in the basement
and using the rose varieties to scent my BIRTHDAY CAKE
writing something sweet using the serif cookie cutters from the flea market
making more furniture with W - the first piece is almost finished now
getting painted by E
eating more rhubarb scones with a new friend and fellow glass bead lover
wearing a lot of jewellery from the new collection
.
VANILLA RHUBARB SCONES
(slightly based on a recipe from GOOD TO THE GRAIN)
1 (generous) cup spelt flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt and vanilla
mix those dry ingredients
rub in 60 g butter or ghee with your fingertips
slice up 3 - 4 stalks of rhubarb and add them to the flour-butter mixture
quickly mix it with 3/4 cup yoghurt using a fork
the doug should be wet but not too sticky
add flour or liquid if needed
pat into a thick disc and slice into 6 wedges
bake for 18 min at 200 degree celsium

have a wonderful Easter week
there might be some special "themed" posts coming up...
hello like-minded
AntwortenLöschenI´m also a no-make-upper (especially after our 3 month travel)
because each make up hides my freckles
if I wear non, I know how I look like
and if I wear sometimes there is always the typical annoying girl question: I´m smeared?
love your post natural beauty
* do you whisper me the recipe?
don´t ever hide your freckles
Löscheni already grew some more this summer - yay
actually i´m totally allergic to eye make up and way too lazy:)
i´d recommend adding sliced rhubarb and vanilla to your favorite scone recipe
in case you have none let me know
i use the one from good to the grain
just added the recipe to the post anyway:)
LöschenThe wild tulips are amazing.
AntwortenLöschenGood luck on your surgery!
I too would love the rhubarb scones recipe :)
thank you so much!
Löscheni just added the recipe to the post
but you could also just put rhubarb into your own favorite scone recipe:)

Wishing you the best in your surgery, stay strong and positive - like you always are! I think it's a great idea, little treats for afterwards, especially a bright nail polish, how uplifting :) I too am a NO MAKE-UPPER :) I have been thinking about writing about it for awhile, this link makes me think about it again more seriously.
AntwortenLöschenTake good care of yourself! Be well.
thank you so much for your good wishes and for stopping by! looks like there are a lot of no make-uppers out there - who would have thought:) and i´d love the read about your thoughts on that sometimes!
Löschenall the best!
that tiny blue flower with freckles
AntwortenLöschenso beautiful!

and good look with the surgery
little treats for afterwards are the best
take care and take your time

this kind of violet is actually called "freckles"
Löschenand strangely it grows like crazy in my garden
they don´t press to well
otherwise i´d send you one
and thank you so much for your kind wishes
i still have a few weeks until it´s done
so i intend to store up all the good energy from you:)
dear anna,
AntwortenLöscheni missed a birthday? happy, happy days to you
and all the best with the coming surgery.
[i don't make up either but i do camouflage the redness
- i suffer from rosacea - and sadly hide from heat and sun]
enjoy the beautiful outfit.

still a couple of weeks away - brithday and surgery:)
AntwortenLöscheni´m red spotted too - i get´s worse every year...
have to wear straw hats in the garden otherwise my cheeks would explode:)
do enjoy the sun though!
Liebe Anna, deine/meine Geranie sieht genauso aus. Hab sie heute vors Fenster gestellt, mal schauen-bin gespannt! Die tulpen sind vorbei, jetzt kommt der Rest. Hab eine gute Zeit.
