Festive Prepping

I found some new treasures, and made my own "set". Hope you like them!

Pink and black gooseberry mix-up. A new scroll from flea market, smallest mixing bowl in butterfly gold, and a solid yellow "candy dish" for my sister. Loving it!

Awhile back, I posted about my new turquoise mixer. I used it yesterday to make my grandmother's Ukrainian Walnut Torte. I think it came out great (and my grandma supervised me like a hawk the whole time)! We also made pierogies for our traditional Christmas Eve supper :) "Смачного" ... or Bon Appetit!

Happy Pyrexing!

  1. I've just been going though and deciding which bowls I will use on Christmas day. I have the same scroll bowl and it is full of Chex mix now. How sweet to have your grandma there with you. Your tree is beautiful. Merry Christmas

  3. I love Pierogies! My aunt is from Poland and used to make them for us all the time growing up. I love the way that you displayed the Scroll bowl. I also put a set together of the pink and black Gooseberry a while ago. I love having the option to mix it around.

    Happy Holidays!

  4. Awesome! Love Ukrainian/Eastern European food! We make several dishes throughout the year, but Christmas eve is special!

    Pink and black is a good mix- who says we have to stick to matchy matchy? Enjoy!
