~Nutella Meringues and New Finds / Simple & Sweet Fridays~

I saw this recipe on Cecilia's "Atelier Cecilia Rosslee:Cuisine" blog.
 I thought it would be easy
 and they looked so delicious.
 I had to try making them.
 Our daughter, Katie was home last week so we made some.
Katie whipped up the egg whites by hand.
Then she added the nutella.

They looked so pretty lined up.
If you want to impress your dinner guests,
 make these!
I wanted to share this obsession I have,
 about getting things for free.
My neighbor had this chair out in front of his house for the garbage,
 and I just couldn't let it go without putting it in our garden.
I paid nothing for it and who knows how long it will last
 but I got it for free.
I saw this miniature house at a garage sale for $10.00.
Of course, I had to have it.
I knew I could put it somewhere in the garden.
I painted it with Annie Sloan Duck Egg Chalkboard paint
 for the house
 and the trim with Old White.
Stan added a copper roof to it.
We even added solar lights to it.
I hope the fairies like it!

    So many great features and I am in LOVE with your new spruced up fairy house!! Your yard is so interesting... so many things to look at. Hope you are getting around okay with that knee. I imagine if there were some of those meringues at the end of the kitchen counter I could hobble anywhere! Macy would love them... must try! Thanks! :)

    I've made meringue drops before and they were a hit. Actually they were resurrection cookies. But, adding Nutella...wow...they would be yummy for sure!
    Hope your week has been extraordinary!

    I remember when my middle son was in about 6th grade and friends with a boy whose mom was from England. Her family shipped Nutella over to them here and since it was not sold in stores around this area at the time it was an oddity and delicacy. I should make your recipe for that son of mine and bring back fond memories! :)

    How fun to have your daughter home and be able to work on something together. My youngest will have a break in August and I can hardly wait to be together. Aren't adult daughters the best? Thank you for hosting again this week and blessings to you, Patti

    Hi Jody and Stan; a lovely surprise to see my Wicker Paint Bling and Memories post featured this week. Thank you.

    I think your doll house painted with ASCP may be a first. Looks great, love the roof, love the setting. Great finds this week indeed.

    Thank you for hosting, I love joining in. Have a great week.

    What a great idea for the dolls house, I am sure there will be occupants soon (maybe a bird's nest too!). The meringues look fantastic and I will definitely be making these with my daughter this weekend!

    Just like me,I can't let freebies go either. There is always somewhere to fit them in. I so love your little doll house and how lovely it looks with its new coat of paint. The roof will make it last a little longer I should think. I'd love to see it at night all lit up. I'm sure the fairies will move in for sure. x

    Thanks so very much for stopping by and following, I've followed you too!
    I love that picture too of my grandmother, I never got to meet her as she died young, my mom was only in her 20's when she passed away so I'm sure that's one of the reasons I was named after her. Again thanks for following and the sweet comment, hope you continue to stop by as I will!
