I am so making that salad tonight. It's so pretty, it's edible art.
I SO enjoyed the shopping trip. I have a bench similar to the one you showed; I bought it at a flea market for $5 but need to recover it. Can't wait for the next recipe...and shopping excursion.

Hi Catherine...I was just thinking about you and about to come for a visit when i found your comment!
:-) I'm so glad others are grabbing that adorable button...maybe it wll start a revolution through Blogland. :-) I haven't decided what to put on my blog yet...but I should put something. I loved this virtual shopping trip...fun! And your salad for FF looks delicious! I need to eat more salads and less sweets.

I am so hungry just looking at the salad! That was so much fun to go shopping at Emma's. Hoping to end up somewhere near her shop very soon.

Helen said...

Wonderful salad fixin's .. and the shopping? There aren't enough words to describe how I enjoyed that!
I have spent hours this Sunday afternoon catching up with old posts, etc and wanted to tell you that the price you paid for your blue cake stand was lower than what I paid - $44! I have to stay far away from ebay.
