Pure Vanilla & A Victorian Cuff

Annette, if you are here. Close your eyes.

:-)

I recieved my Madagascar/Bourbon Vanilla Beans in the mail today and have made pure vanilla extract.  You can get your recipe and help with ordering at Donna's blog: Brynwood Needleworks.

She will tell  you where to order, how many beans to use in a recipe, what type of alchohol, and when you can use it here. I've made mine for my sister who bakes her heart out.

The label is from Cathe Holden's blog,

Just Something I Made 

Remember her post on glitter and labeling?

The bottle I used held Olive Oil.

They are the neatest bottles and someday will make pretty vintage bottles. They are pretty today!

Save your glass olive oil bottles..

Last week my husband brought in a neatly wrapped package. In it was this:

Teresa at Maggie Grace Creates

made this pretty Victorian cuff. Every stitch by her hands. Beautiful crochet around the cameo and cuff. Tiny stitches carefully hold together a silk backing and ecru lace on the front. It's feminine and so pretty.

The tiny crystal bottle I filled with a few more glass pearls. She also made the crochet white rosette. Very talented lady!

Thanks for stopping by REB...
