    1. That's a shame..they can be really nice events, though to be honest over the years less and less people get involved.

  5. Dear Tanya, It looks like your harvest was a good one.
    My mom used to make mince pie every Christmas. I love mince pie. My mom also made fruitcake each Christmas. I do like fruitcake much more now. I am sure your cakes are just delicious!
    I hope you had a fun time and I do hope you win. That would be fun.
    Blessings dear. Catherine xo

    1. I don't know about my cakes being delicious...but they were edible!! I love the way food and their scents can provoke such wonderful memories...there is more to food than just eating it!

    1. That is the beauty of growing your own...you pick it so you know that it really is fresh and still crammed with all it's goodness!

  9. Dear Tanya,
    Lovely items you have here! I wish you good luck with the judging. I wish also that I could taste one of your mince pies!!! They look simply yummy!

    Thank you so much for visiting my blog and reading my latest installment of my story about Jenny & Co. This is such a sad chapter because we all know that Tom Norton dies of his injuries. I've already written this into the plot. There are so many mystery stories about people getting killed; but what about the people they leave behind?
    Thanks for your support!
    Best wishes & hugs,
    Anna
