The Chateau De Fleurs Sale Is Hosted by none other than Christie Repasy herself. If you have not seen Christie's work ..then you must visit her website ..it is positively breathtaking !!!

There will be a total of 14 artisans ..and Antique Vendors offering their wares ...

The Market Place is part of the Barn Sale trail in Fallbrook. That means, not only do you get to shop at Le Chateau de Fleurs but you will have a chance to visit all the other Barns participating.

Over the next few days we will be featuring just a few of the items we will be taking with us to the show ...

First up are our Paper Roses ...

They are all Handmade ....in Beautiful aged creams ..blues and Pinks ..and have Vintage Sheet Music interlaced ..for that wonderful Vintage appeal we all love so dearly ..

You will be able to choose from different sizes and styles that we have created...

And they are all dusted in either clear frosted glitter or 100% Pure Silver Glass Glitter that will tarnish in time for a wonderful early appeal.

Of course My hands can only make so many of these and time only allows for a limited amount ...so get there early ...to pick your favorites up.

Until Tomorrow's Preview ....Have a most Lovely Day ....

A taste of Goodness !!!

Hi there Blogerettes !!!

What's Cookin at your Place ???

Well if you know me by now ..you know I'm a major chocoholic !!! Can't get enough of the stuff ever ..I think I might ...that is if I'm desperately ill in the head ..go without some form of chocolate 1 day out of an entire month ..but it is without a doubt a part of my daily diet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I whipped up an old recipe that I found many years ago in an old cookbook I got yard saleing ...and it was just as delicious as I remember it from years back.

what's great is it's So Easy to make and actually doesn't consist of anything to bad for you ..a definite bonus !!!

Chocolat Fudge Pudding Cake ...

This is a piece from the dish of it I made ...along with a scoop of Hagen Dazs Vanilla Yogurt ...

This Pudding cake is so fun to make ...It starts off with a thick batter that you spread in a square bake dish ..then add liquid on top ..and as it cooks the cake rises and the liquid forms a fudgy pudding that sinks below ...Is your mouth watering yet ???

Well I'm going to share the recipe with you ..because a girl has to have her chocolate ...below I have pictured the original recipe sheet and a close up of the recipe ...

( click on the picture for larger image and save if you like )

Now I know it says ..." SOFTASILK CAKE FLOUR" ... its an old recipe ..just use your normal everyday flour ..and sift the ingredients as it directs. ... That's how I do mine.

It's simple ...It's Easy.... It's Quick ..when your needin a little chocolate fix ..and it's fairly light on the hips ..

Well let me know if you make it ..and if you like it ...

Happy March !!!
