SUMMER DRINK IDEAS

JUSTINE ASHBEE´S workspace

SHORT STACK EDITIONS

a surprise gift from NINA: ORLANDO GOUGH RECIPE JOURNAL

starting a private book club with food and drinks in september - are you IN?

can´t wait for THIS, THIS and THIS cookbook to come out

trying to calm down a gastritis with zinc, porridge, zwieback and sideritis scardica tea

any other ideas would be welcome - i´m the chronic type

and on that note getting really into learning more about the healing powers of crystals

so i´m about to work on some pieces with ruby, smoky quartz and mother of pearl for myself

and a bit of moss agate of course

QUIET BLOGS

always JESSICA STANLEY

everything from SAMUJI

tried to be very french and made some of those lavender rattle things

at first everything smelled like my grandmother´s closet and then the next day it had stopped

no scent at all, just dried flowers and stems - is that dry summer to blame?

.

and since everyone talks about that Ottolenghi cake with APRICOTS, WALNUTS AND LAVENDER

i had to make it too - such a delight

and because i still have a bottle of Cointreau minus one tablespoon left from this CAKE´S icing

i made some of it to pour over
.
to tease my sisters - who seem to be some of the very few still-readers of this blog -  i changed some colours again
they do not like that, harhar!
.
happy blue moon!

cleaned out my closets 
so i´m having a YARD SALE

clothes, dishes, books - all kinds of stuff
maybe something finds a new home 
before E will cut everything fabric into ribbons and crochet rugs with it
since she´s very into RECYCLING CLOTHES

.

if you´re interested in something just send me an email

find everything HERE

thank you so much for stopping by this saturday

the weather was great and you were all so very nice

we had so much fun
and even our workshop brushes got dressed up with BARRETTES

.

had not so much luck with the flowers though

found some wilted roses but they didn´t seem to go with anything

and baking in this humid heat was a disaster

the pavlovas turned into sugary glue and i had to dry out Heidi Swanson´s PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES 

for hours in the warm oven but they still kept changing their consistency

her POUND CAKE with geranium leaves worked excellent, will make it again and again

.

and i still like colouring my pictures very much as you can see
