On St. Andrew's Day ...
We made a big batch of Scottish shortbread. :)
{Earlybird loved helping - and truth be told, his batch came out best!}
I savored my absolutely favorite British mag - which just arrived today - along with a sweet little board book I ordered for our wee one.
I set up more indoor Christmas lighting, including window candles ...
And a new garland along the mantel, but little did I know these tiny "cystal" stars not only change colors - but blink! And quite rapidly!
This picture does not capture the frenzy at all, but oh my ... they're a bit "carnval" for me, lol, but the boys love them - they said they remind them of Disney. :)
And in honor of St. Andrew, patron saint of Scotland, I had my afternoon cocoa in my grandmother's "Highland Queen" teacup. The shortbread is not a family recipe, but rather, one I found here. Shortbread is my favorite kind of cookie - buttery and a bit plain but oh-so-gooood.
Well, my friends ~ Happy Friday! I hope you all have a lovely weekend. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones, and I'll see you here again very soon!
