Weddings and Soap

How is your summer going, dear ones? How are you spending your time in these glorious, warm months?

Bessie has been occupying herself in the capacity of unofficial Wedding Planner 

in the past couple of months. 

She was involved in all aspects of assisting the bride ~ from hosting a bridal tea

... to floral arrangements ...

Guests ham it up for the photo booth at the reception

And the nuptials went off without a hitch!

Bea has been busy as a ... well, as a bee! She's just recently learned the fine art of soap making. 

Hopefully Bea will share some of her soapy enthusiasm on Creative Sandwich sometime soon!

Where Dessert is Eaten First (and life is as it should be)

There was a wedding on the weekend. (Yes, I know it's already Wednesday, but there was a lot of business here at Creative Sandwich the last few days).

The drive out into the country side was spectacular, with fall harvest in full swing, clear blue skies and a hint of a Autumn in the air already.

It was a wonderful day, and the bride and groom were the sensible sorts who invited the whole family, young and old, and asked if everyone could bring a little something for the celebration dinner. My favorite kind of wedding!! They didn't go broke on providing a meal to a hundred people, they had a wonderful assortment of homemade goodies and traditional Ukrainian food, and Bea was in heaven!!

I made a Tiramisu, because one can never have too many desserts, especially the rich and creamy kind! Would you like the directions? Recipes are far too restrictive, don't you think? I need scope for my imagination, just like Anne Shirley.

I hope you are enjoying a wonderful, creative week. And I hope you remember, the next time you attend an occasion, that life is short, so you should eat dessert first.
