Cherry Hill Cottage...

MERRY🎄CHRISTMAS!

let's play ... YAY!

Pearl is beyond thrilled her playhouse is ready to play in again!

Moving the playhouse to our new home was not easy, in the process the playhouse received a few bumps and bruises! 

The repairs have been made, it has a fresh coat of paint, and all furniture has 

been moved back in!

Cute little rag wreath for the front door, LOVE this cute wreath!

I bought it from an Etsy shop, shop A FETE BECKONS, Jaime

LET THE PLAYING BEGIN!!

I didn't have Mother's blackberry cobbler recipe...
so I searched on Pinterest for what I thought was the closest.
I found one
Tony agrees, it
tastes likes Mom's💓
Old Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler☕️
2 quarts blackberries (8 cups)
1 1/2 -2 cups sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
The crust🍴
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup Crisco solid
1/2 cup or more ice water
Instructions
Cook berries🍴
put 2 quarts of blackberries with 1 and 1/2 to 2 cups sugar, depending on the berries in a large saucepan. Heat until they come to a rolling boil, then take them off the heat.
Add a stick of real butter.
Crust🍴
Use a pastry blender to cut Crisco into flour and salt.
Slowly add cold water using just enough to make a dough ball.
For a double crust, divide dough into balls, roll each one out about 1/4 " thick, trim as needed to shape of pan/dish, place one on bottom of lightly greased pan/dish, trimming to fit and save one crust for the top of the cobbler.
Put it together🍴
Put one crust on the bottom of the pan/ dish
put berries over the bottom crust
put scraps of crust in with the berries
lay on the top crust
bake at 400 until brown
I doubled the crust recipe⭐️

ok...
this porch is finished,
getting ready for all the patriotic holidays🇺🇸

when I see jelly beans at Easter time...
I always think of my Mother.
It was her favorite candy, licorice was her first choice!!
She would always pick out all the black beans😂
