An Interesting Day...













hi everyone... 
just a few pics of the last day or so... 
using the rose tea to make this rose petal jelly and you can find the recipe HERE 
and the queen anne's lace jelly recipe is HERE
then there are two journals that i made from my old prims magazine..
i sold both of them and several more besides.. 
they are easy to make as i sit and chat with everyone..
love this tasty homemade ranch dressing that you keep in a mason jar... 
i think i am too mean or frugal  to buy salad dressings when homemade is so tasty and better for you.. 
i raided the old cottage pantry and took these rose plates over to the shop this morning and sold them this afternoon to a special customer who likes the same things i do.. smile.. 
came home to a delicious chicken that terry cooked on our rotisserie.
so tender and good.. 
and there is my sweetie doing what he does best.. 
working... 

have a blessed Lord's day.. 

before i go i just have to tell you something.. 
today while the shop was quite busy a lady came over with a jar of queen anne's lace jelly in her hand and a question on her face.. grin.. 
i put my hand up and told her that the jelly was kosher and not poisonous as it is the cousin wild carrot and parsley that are and not the queen anne's lace..( people ask me that question )
she looked at me and said all she was wondering was if the jellies were made from real flowers... 
we laughed as i told her yes and the dear thing bought one of each kind to take home with her to Washington... 
then later she came back for something to send to her sister in California and asked me how i knew that the jelly was kosher... 
smile... 
well, i told her first that i knew what the word kosher means as i love Jews and am very interested in them and what they eat and all.. 
BUT .. when i said kosher then that it is just a saying that we here which means that the jelly was good or all right.. 
we had quite a laugh as she told me she was a Jew and couldn't figure out how i would know that the jelly was kosher..smile.. 
we had a lovely talk about the Lord Jesus and why i love the Jews.. 
interesting day....

sending you all hugs...

  2. I am still amazed that you could make jelly from Queen Anne's lace. I thought at first she was asking if the jelly contained gelatin! Faye, you are such a sweet heart and special person. One day I have to visit that shop of yours! xo

  4. Love the photos, and the story of the jelly.
    Here the criggers inhabit the queen anns lace, wonder if yours does, or is there a trick for not getting them when you pick them?
    Hope you have a wonderful Sunday, God Bless You, hope you are feeling better.

  6. A very busy day indeed. So nice to meet new people isn't it?

    I do not buy store bought salad dressing anymore because of the Soy. My best friend had breast cancer and had a double mastectomy and her oncologiest told her to never, never eat anything with soy unless it is fermented. This doctors is not even a Naturopath doctor...and he says it as well. So I try really had read all the ingredients when purchasing things...it's amazing how much of our foods have soy.

    Have a blessed Lord's day tomorrow.

  8. I've really loved all your photos in the last couple of posts Faye, so nice to see around where you live...the wooden bridge reminds me of so many films I've seen :) I will visit over there one day I pray! I hope you are feeling yourself again now, and that your Mum is on the mend - the sun must help I'm sure :) Thank you for the recipes too, I need to stock up on a couple of things so I can start making. You package your goodies so prettily for your shop, they must make lovely gifts. Have a blessed day today! Carly xx

  9. Hi Faye;

    I made Rose Petal Jelly this week from a recipe I found on the internet, which is quite similar to yours. In the recipe I used it had me clipping the little white points off of all the rose petals (the author said that leaving them on would make the jelly bitter?) I love the flavor of the jelly, and of course, it is so pretty to look at. Thank you for all of your inspiration.

  13. This made me laugh, Faye... she didn't know you meant kosher was "cool"... *haha*
    I hope Terry got down from the roof okay... something about a man being on the roof makes me nervous. I've seen too many silly movies and I'm always waiting for a thud or a crash. *grin*
