Hey loves!
What's going on in your world lately?
While winter can be lacking in color,
the lavender pansies never disappoint...
they still show their glorious color on the patio!
One of the darling's favorite childhood memories
are his Mother's chocolate muffins!
I think he is going to be over the moon on these!
These are my latest new additions to Estelle's kitchen!
I have looked at embossed measuring spoons
and measuring cups for a long time now,
and these just spoke to me!
Oh, I think they are just gorgeous!
Too pretty to hide away in a drawer!
A perfect pairing with new farm style dish towels...
it doesn't take much to make this southern baker happy!
Now you are going to love this muffin recipe!
I have told this many times before,
but there were special Sunday nights
when the darling was growing up
when they had warm chocolate muffins for dinner...
served with Strawberry Jam and Cheddar Cheese...
strange combination I know.....
but he loved them!

DeleteOhhh, those lovely measuring spoons! Bet I'd do more baking, if I had those to use. :-)))))
ReplyDeleteOh my, those muffins! I read their name out loud, and my husband moaned. ,-)))
That kind of a special dinner, is what childhood memories are made of! Love the idea. :-)
Lovely post... Topped off with a photo, of the most lovely of kitty cats, in Blog Land.
Gentle hugs...
Mae thanks you so very much! Bake some muffins for your own Mr. Wonderful and thank you, as always for your kind comments!
DeleteLittle Mae is pondering something grand it appears! So cute---and your muffins look great! I have some sour cream that need to be used, so now I know what I'll use it in! Thank you! Those measuring spoons have been catching my eyes for a while also! Have a great day! ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Martha Ellen! I do hope you try these...and enjoy them! Ah yes...the roosters are so cute, aren't they? I love having you visit!
DeleteHave you ever considered an Instagram?
ReplyDeleteOh I know, everyone is so busy already. You take time and effort, with your beautiful blog already. And, and, and....
But your photos would be so amazing, on Instagram. One a day... Or more.... Or skip days.... Whatever you feel like, on any day. With just enough words, to tell what the pic is of. And you are on your way.
You will find other IG's with which you resonate. And all you have to do, to "comment," is click on the little Red Heart. These "Likes" show up, on top of the IG. And if something really appeals to you, you can leave a little comment.
I am loving it!!! And I have found such lovely and interesting IG's. And have make new world wide friends. Some of whom, now come to my blog. And I, to theirs.
Never thought I'd be on a soap box, for anything but blogging. But, I am in love.
Just please consider... :-))))
Gentle hugs,
my Instagram
I do believe you have found a passion in Instagram! I actually am thinking of putting Estelle's in retirement. I am going to post fewer days and decide if I want to continue. It's so very good to have an interest you love, and I will consider this. I try not to be glued to my I phone as so many are these days..thank you for thinking of me!
DeleteOh, MY! Won't the quads love having these for our Tea Party next week??? Once again, thank you for such wonderful recipes!!

DeleteHi Betsy, stopping by via my dear blogging friend, Sheri at Red Rose Alley.
ReplyDeleteYour Emerson quote is one of my all time favorites.
I have similar embossed measuring spoons, coastal themed, and I TOTALLY agree that they're too pretty to hide in a drawer. :)
Thanks for the recipe.
Looking forward to visiting.
Good Morning Marcia! Welcome to Estelle's! I am always thrilled to meet someone new! Oh, how I would love to see your coastal embossed measuring spoons! Those would have been perfect while living in Maine! Please visit me often if you would like! Have a lovely weekend and hugs for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment!
DeleteIt's not really even morning yet, and I should be sleeping, but I happened upon your beautiful blog and had to stop and say hi. I am in the midst of our interminably-long-winter doldrums, but your post has inspired me to get some new kitchen towels and measuring spoons and to bake! I do bake bread (tomorrow's blog post), but I think I need to make muffins and scones. Baking would be a great way to (endure) enjoy February! Thanks. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you SO MUCH! I love baking in winter too....I do hope you try the recipe and enjoy them! Have a lovely and warm week ahead! I certainly appreciate your visit today!!!
