Baking in Miniature


My mini worktable is the newest addition to my
mini cottage kitchen. 




Now I must confess, although a love to cook, I have
never been much of a baker.  Yet somehow, baking
in miniature just seems like the perfect thing to do.





Stirring up a batch of cookies or muffins in 
miniature vintage mixing bowls sounds delightful!

I just love minis so ~ they are my favorites!





I wonder what is in the mini casserole on the oven?




My hubby looked at all of my mini kitchen items and said
"This looks like our own kitchen."
He's right ~ I love a red and white kitchen.  As soon as I am
finished tweaking mine, I will show it to you so that you can see
where my mini inspiration comes from.




That's it for now.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone.


Happily Joining ~

Pink Saturday
(Pink does start with red you know)
A Favorite Thing
Seasonal Sundays
Simple Sunny Sundays
Homemaking Party
Say G'Day Party


Tina our groomer came yesterday and gave Bentley a
major haircut.  I think it's a bit short, but David thinks it's
really cute.  As soon as I can get Bentley to hold still
(out chasing squirrels) I will take a pic of him.

Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    Pink does come from red. Happy Pink Saturday, Susan.

    Your mini kitchen is so pretty. I believe I would like one of those mini muffins.

    That is SO cute! And what an inspiration for me, who would love to have an Aga in my kitchen. I'll get a mini one to put in our doll house. :-) They must make them...somewhere.

    How I love your itty bitty kitchen, Susan. My very favorite kitchen color in the world is red and yours is so incredibly sweet. Just look at all those cheery cherries.
    Thank you for sharing. I love it all.
    Smiles,
    Carolynn

    ps I read your comment on Claudia's MFThings and totally agree. There's something so impersonal about sharing your pretty photos week after week and never being acknowledged. It's kind of like having someone shake your hand while looking the other way. Kinda sad. :(

    Wonderful mini-kitchen and baked goods. Tammy (see above) told me about your mini-kitchen. I had already pinned it to my Pinterest "Miniatures" board! See what a small world this is, thanks to wonderful technology.

    Just love your work! Congratulations. Susan from Writing Straight from the Heart at blogspot.

    That's the cutest red and white kitchen - you did a great job Susan.
    I have touches of red in my life-sized kitchen - my casseroles and saute pans. My late mother always said every room should have something red in it. It's true, and then when you take photos, they come out much better!

    Happy St. Patrick's Day.

    It's looking so charming in your mini kitchen! I have that table on my mini want list - for my craft room - just haven't ordered it yet! I love what you're doing with your little space.

    Thanks so much for joining in this week, Susan!

    Gosh Susan that's just so adorable. I recently bought an old, run-down doll's house that looks like a three story Cape Cod salt box. I plan to restore it with very little idea of what I'm doing. Now I want to make a lovely little kitchen in it...lol.
