LOOK WHO RANG THE BELL YESTERDAY

Hi, Primmies ~ I had a wonderful surprise today. Our mail carrier rang the bell and guess what she had all the way from Illinois?
Miss Suzette from Marie of Primitives By Olde Lady Morgan.

"She came all the way from Illinois in this?"

"Do you mind?"

Suzette's little feet sticking out of adorable crow tissue paper

Suzette has her own vintage pearl ring and real working whistle (it's REALLY loud, she likes to blow the whistle a lot)and a little safety pin "in case"

Suzette loved posing for the camera

Suzette and Virginia became fast friends (Virginia is from Danice of Homespun Hannah's, Alabama

Suzette wanted her own treat to hold so she took one of my chocolate bunnies from Brenda of The Rusty Thimble

Thank you so much, Marie, for having your giveaway of Suzette. Marie is busy making more prims, when you have time please visit her at Primitives By Olde Lady Morgan blog.

It's really windy today. I'm blogging from Ash & Tim's house, they needed Mr. Glen Oaks and I to come over. We brought Junior with us, Ashley has her stepson for the weekend and the two boys and the mister are working on our truck right now.

Oh, it's starting to lightly snow right now. Will we be walking in a winter wonderland tonight?

Hugs,

Susan

My Giveaway Win and A Yummy Pecan Sandie Recipe

Hi, Primmies ~

Today's post is about a favorite cookey in our house and about my giveaway win from Cynthia of The Flowering Angel blog.
The Recipe from Lynda's Recipe Box blog.

Pecan Sandies
from Martha Stewart
Recipe made about 1 1/2 dozen for me.

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened- I used salted
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt- I omitted this because I used salted butter
1 cup all purpose flour, spooned into cup and leveled
1 cup pecans, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place rack on center of oven. In a bowl, cream the brown sugar and butter together with a mixer. Add in the vanilla. Add the flour and mix on low speed until flour is incorporated. Stir in chopped pecans by hand. Dough will be very sandy and crumbly.
Gather dough and form onto about 1 1/2 inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees. for 15-17 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
