I'm joining in for the Note Card Party at Vee's Haven today.
For more information on this fun party, click here,
Vee is our gracious hostess who encourages us to sort through the photos we have featured on our blogs and select 4 that we think might be suitable for making into note cards.
July seemed like a good month to re-visit some of my favorite Summertime Treats.
~ My Mom's Fresh Peach Pie ~
It wouldn't be summer without a taste of this family favorite.
The filling is cooked over the stove, but the pie doesn't get baked. It makes for a really fresh peach taste.
~ Red Velvet Cake with Fresh Berries ~
I made this cake for my in-laws 60th anniversary a few years ago.
One word ~ YUM!
~ Freshly Squeezed Lemonade ~
My sister-in-law lent me her vintage juicer one year.
She said to use it in a blog post so I was obligated to make lemonade :-).
~ Fresh From The Garden Mint Chocolate Cookies ~
One of my favorite combinations is chocolate + mint.
I used some of the mint growing in my herb garden in these cookies. A little dip into the melted chocolate pot and two words this time ~ YUM, YUM!!
Thanks for visiting
and
Thank You Vee for hosting the party.
Now I'm off to do some visiting.
OK, I'm coming to your house! Do you have "scratch-n-sniff" notecards? Loved it!
ReplyDeleteThese photos should be in a cookbook! I love the juicer, and the peach pie sounds so good and not baked. Have to try it. xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always Kim, I must have that peach pie recipe. Peaches are very plentiful around here right now. All of your summertime treats would make lovely note cards. The vintage lemon squeezer is lovely,I don't think i have seen one like this before, my vintage one is clear glass. the colors are lovely, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Please come to my house in September and bring me a red velvet birthday cake!
ReplyDeleteI like to use my blog photos on notecards, too! Our world is so bright and happy!
How yummy, I say they should go in a cookbook! Love the orange doily with that peach pie.
ReplyDeleteI think I need a snack after reading this...oh my. I don't remember seeing any of these before. How can that be? Wonderful photos that would certainly make equally wonderful note cards!
ReplyDeleteYummy indeed! Great looking treats/cards. I'm off to bed with dreams of chocolate-mint cookies in my head. :) Thanks for visiting me. Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteLots of yummy stuff goin' on at your house. And boy do I love the vintage juicer. I hopped over from the Notecard party.
ReplyDeleteI love all your yummy looking photos, Kim and they would make fabulous note cards, especially if their recipe were included on the back!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices for a summer note card collection. I love summer fruits. Yum! Wouldn't it be great to have cards with recipes on the back?
ReplyDeleteYour yummy photos are making me want to sneak into the kitchen for a snack. Great for notecards!
ReplyDeleteOh that peach pie looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas for cards!

Your pictures are luscious -- I'm going to have to look into those garden mint cookies. And that vintage juicer is blog worthy, for sure!
ReplyDeleteLovely summertime goodness!
ReplyDeleteI made your mint cookies and fell down the stairwell when I was carrying them to friends that evening -- it was very humid and I just went be-bopping all the way down and landed with a splat. No one got cookies that night. :/ That was nearly a year ago. Amazing!
Have a beautiful day. Tammy
Oh YUM! Now I've got to get up and find something for breakfast!!

Pretty pictures! I love the one of the cake with fresh fruit on the top. Looks so refreshing. I like mint and chocolate, too! Do you have a recipe for those cookies.

Oh Kim, these pictures make my mouth water! I love pics of fresh fruit in the summer. It's too hard to pick a favorite here, but I do love the first. The pie looks delish, and the pretty vase with hydrangeas is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your visit and your kind comments on my note cards. You'll have to visit Old Salem again and we can meet for lunch. :) Have a great week!

Right now, at 4:22pm I would like some of each picture, but I know that your mother's peach pie would be my very first choice. Oh my, wouldn't that taste so good with a hot cup of coffee! The vintage juicer is pretty too. Beauty and good food...what could be bettter!
ReplyDeleteOh my, such delectable treats! I LOVE that juicer. Where do you get somthing like that?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delicious looking photos! Love the peach pie!
ReplyDeleteI like the scratch and sniff idea for your cards! YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteKim, I'm not sure which one of these is my favorite. The red velvet cake looks amazing, but I have to say, is there anything better than peach pie in the summertime? Your mom's recipe is wonderful. I want a piece!
ReplyDelete~Sheri at Red Rose Alley
Well, naturually, I just love all of these since they make me feel both summer-ish and homey.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite of all is the one with the pitcher. That's because I am just crazy about the pitcher. I would love something like that!
Wonderful choices, especially for summer!
Perfect summertime note card photos! I love that fresh-squeezed lemonade pitcher. I have never seen anything like that!
ReplyDeleteYou asked in my comments, if they hold house tours, in my old Victorian city. Yes they do, but they are very expensive.
ReplyDeleteOver the years, I have *managed* to get myself inside some of these lovely old homes, though. :-)
I should do a post, about this topic. With photos of the houses. Thank you for the idea!
