Fresh Pumpkins

Today I was inspired by a donut sign at a gas station. Substitute a pumpkin and wa-la!

Five Little Pears

I'm planning to write an article about beautiful, whimsical things you can do with your tablesettings and/or food to make them more welcoming...and would love your ideas. Do you have special plates, garnishes, or other neat ideas you add to your tablesetting to add a bit of fun and flair? I'd love to know. You can reply to this post or email me directly here. Thanks in advance! {print available}

No Strawberries

On a walk around the garden earlier this week a friend and I took a peak in the strawberry patch in hopes of finding something. No luck. The strawberries were all gone.

Birds and Tomato

I think it's really interesting that I keep drawing something that I really don't love to eat. It just shows that aesthetics are most important to me when it comes to painting food. {print available}

The Pear Earrings

It seems as the year progresses I get busier and busier. It just might be that my son is now over a year old and has to be chased constantly. This results in fast, odd food photos...like these pear earrings. {print available}

Forks Galore

All I can say is that this has been a really busy week and it's a miracle I can even pull together an image of flying forks.

A Wagon Full of Tomatoes

So many tomatoes are popping out of our garden that we have to find places to store them. Our wagon is one spot. It's strategically placed so we can encourage visitors to grab a bunch. We even hand them a plastic bag to make it a little easier. {print available}

Ham and Cheese...and a Little Mayo

My son does not like any mayo-based sauces, which rules out potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw, etc. But, for some reason, has started a love affair with mayonnaise on ham and cheese sandwiches. {print available}
