wedding shower

my sister is getting married this august, and today was her bridal shower! my mom and i have been baking for days, making decorations, thrift store shopping for pretty plates, planning games and buying little prizes. our family and friends all came out for the afternoon. it was a beautiful day. janet got some gorgeous gifts and so many well wishes from everyone. i'm so excited for my beautiful big sister to be married, it's pretty surreal to think that we're adults now and she's soon to have a husband and a new last name!

extra love today, dolls :)

apple galette

i've been scouring elephantine for days now, reading posts and looking at recipes. finally, after noticing a few almost-bruised apples on the kitchen table, i decided on the apple galette. partially because of the apples i had and partially because of the oh-so-adorable video accompanying the recipe.



i mean, does that not make you want to go and bake this immediately?

i'm pretty pleased with how mine turned out - not quite as pretty as the original but you know what? it was delicious. my mom and i both sat down with the cool breeze from the back door blowing in and had a piece with some vanilla ice cream, and it was perfect.

i know i should probably give some sort of explanation why i dropped of the face of the internet for so long but really, i don't want to. nothing major happened, aside from my computer breaking in november and not being able to buy a new one.

the important thing is i've come back, and i'm excited about blogging again. it's been a while since i could honestly say that!

until next time (not too long!)

see you soon

summer twenty twelve
i will come back to you :)
