A Plan

A Plan

For about five years (ever since the Quimper Hitty human inherited a couple of Springerle rolling pins), every December we decide to make these special European Christmas cookies.  We locate the recipe, assemble the ingredients, and read the instructions….then we get to the part that says the baked cookies have to sit for 6 – 8 weeks before eating. Drat. This year, Hattie, one of my favourite baking companions, piped up the last week of October.

A New House

A new dwelling has been installed near the Quimper Hitty cupboard. This is a work of art by our friend the Dollhouse Lady, who has made us very, very happy! The  original is a flower shop located at 3835 St Denis in Montreal (click here for google street view).
