~Edible Flower Bark & Stan's Retirement After 38 Years & Simple & Sweet Fridays #207~

I love the Victoria Magazine.
 They have so many wonderful articles and inspiring photographs!
In the March/April issue of Bliss Victoria,
they had an Edible-Flower Bark article in their Cooking and Entertaining section. 
I knew I had to make some for our family.
It was their special Garden Issue and
 you know how much I love gardening.
I always have edible flowers growing in our garden,
that way I can use them in any recipe.
 I used some white chocolate,
then heated it up and poured it onto 
some parchment paper to harden.
I used flowers from the garden.
Roses, calandulas, lavender, pansies, geraniums
 and chopped pistachios.
I sprinkled some salt onto it.
A beautiful bouquet of color!!
With some vanilla ice cream,
it was a perfect dessert!!

My husband Stan is officially retired now.
After 38 years working for the same company,
we decided it was time.
We made a special dinner to celebrate.
Ahi, Avocado and Shrimp Stack for starters.
Filet mignon, mushrooms and tattooed potatoes for dinner.
Our daughter, Carly,
 made her famous bearnaise sauce.
It was delicious!!
Some strawberries for dessert!
It was a meal our family will never forget.
Happy Retirement, Honey!!
It was a wonderful weekend!!

Hoping you all had a great week too.
Let's see what you've been working on!

~Welcoming Guests for the Holidays and Simple & Sweet Fridays #141~

I love our new Welcome Holiday Sign.
I saw this idea in the November Country Living Magazine.
I just copied by eye the lettering from the magazine and then used a chalkboard paint pen to write the words 
onto an old antique silver tray.
I had a burlap wreath on our front door and
 just added the Welcome tray.
I tied it on with green jute.
Some Fall garland 
added for that festive look!
Now I can swap out the flowers next month to evergreens and holly
for Christmas!
While I was making the Thanksgiving wreath I made some gingerbread cake. I bought the mix from Traders Joe's. 
Love that store!!
It smelt so good cooking while working on the wreath.
Looking forward to dessert tonight!
Roses in bloom in the garden.

Such a wonderful surprise getting blooms from our peonies again! 
It's November in San Diego!!

Love the scent!
Stan and I went to Roger's Garden this week!
They had the most beautiful displays of Christmas trees already.


I'll share some more photos this week.
Love the holiday season!!
