Something old, Something new,
Something borrowed, Something blue,
And a lucky sixpence in her shoe…

My one girlfriends got married this weekend at an intimate lakeside ceremony, followed by an outdoor reception. The autumnal leaves of yellow, orange, red and brown surrounded her with vibrant, joyful colors. The chocolate-brown bridesmaid dresses contrasted the white gown on the bride. Her dress was her something borrowed, but I wanted to make sure she had something new and something blue. I made these simple, yet elegant earrings to grace her ear lobes on her special day. They’re similar to the bridesmaid earrings I made and shared with you yesterday, embellished a bit more. Hubster & I both wish her the best of luck as they start their journey and new family together.

Something New & Something Blue

Something New & Something Blue

I created this look using white pearls, silver bead wire, small blue crystals, small clamps and silver earring hooks.

Brides out there, what was your something blue?

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! The entire world loves chocolate (except for my Pumpkin)… I love dark chocolate. Chocolate cake, chocolate pie, chocolate pudding, I’ve even been known to eat a square of baking chocolate. I’ve used and modified many chocolate cookie recipes and this is my favorite.

Dark Chocolate Cookies

Dark Chocolate Cookies


Ingredients: 3/4 c. melted butter, 1/2 c. dark cocoa powder, 1 c. dark brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 Tbsp. vanilla, 2 c. flour, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 c. sugar
Directions:
Mix together butter, cocoa, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Slowly stir flour mixture into chocolate batter half a cup at a time. Cover bowl and refrigerate for a few hours. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough into 1″ balls and roll in sugar. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove cookies from tray and place on a cooling rack.
*Usually I bake chocolate with almond extract instead of vanilla, but this recipe I actually used vanilla extract.
Hubster was standing over the oven with a jar of peanut butter in hand, waiting to spread it on the warm cookies.
What flavor do you like the best paired with chocolate?

200th post, featured housewife, housewife, housewife of the week, married life, new bride, newly wed, spouse, wife, young bride

This is my 200th post, and what better way to celebrate it than with an awesome honor I received.  Early this month, I was stoked when Harvard Housewife asked me to be her featured housewife, “Housewife of the Week”.  Check out my interview post!

My camera cord to my camera broke (Thank goodness it wasn’t then camera) so my posts will be a bit delayed. Don’t worry, I have so much to share!

What do you think of Harvard Housewife’s post?
