best day

happy thanksgiving!

hope you have the best pie, turkey, parade watching day ever!

pie seems to be a big theme around here.

guess since i lived in pie town, aka "Norske Nook" it makes sense.

another wonderful pie place is in savannah, georgia.

i made the pie banner after visiting

"back in the day bakery" last year.

how to instructions are in their latest cookbook.

today is the best day!

happy 4th of July!

hope you all have a fun and safe holiday!

this is my little homage to the 

back in the day bakery

wall in savanah, georgia.

you can see the post here.

i didn't have quite as large of space as the bakery, 

so mine is a scaled down version.

i tried to use what i had and if i didn't have it make it.

flag- .60 fabric remenant at resale shop

pie pan - $1

scale - $5

print - ? purchased years ago

homemade sign - homemade by me :)

pie banner - also homemade by me

below are a few more sparkles of red, white and blue

 around the house.

happy 4th from wisconsin!

best pie

hope you all have seen and purchased the latest

"back in the day bakery made with love" book.

it's full of great recipes and even some fun make-it-yourself projects. 

i took this photo when we stopped at the back in the bakery in savanah last february.

i love this wall and took the photo in hopes to sort of recreate it.

especially the best pie banner.

and voila (wa lah) they show how to make them

in the book. 

i wanted to use barkcloth for the background like they do in the bakery, book, but am having a hard time finding

the right pattern. 

 and price for that matter,

as i just want a small piece and bark cloth can get pricey.

for the above piece i used wool felt for the background.

hopefully i will have a finished wall photo

for you to see soon, but i don't think 

i will win a "best banner" for my banner.

back in the day bakery

savannah georgia, home of "back in the day bakery"

i have been a fan, for quite awhile.

i have their 1st cookbook and they are coming out with their

 second one march 24th, 

"back in the day bakery made with love"

can't wait.  

you can see preview it on amazon.

looks delish!

anywho, rick was so nice to divert the road to st. augustine, florida

via savannah, georgia.

once i knew we were going there i looked up the route to the 

back in the day bakery

and we found it!

but guess what, it was............

we were there on monday and it was closed!

bummer!

so i started to take photos from the outside.

aren't they nice and clear!

 that's because rick was so nice and said we

could go the same route home to

stop in when they were open! 

happy day!

 such a cute shop!

 love the order sign.

 delish lunch.

 recognize the folks on the far right?

yup that's cheryl and griffith day.

the creators of this lovely bakery.

we sat at a long table and started talking to the gentleman next

to us.

  he filled us in on the city of savannah. 

rick told him that i was a huge fan of the bakery.

our new friend said he knows cheryl and griff 

and said she would be happy to stop over.

i said that was fine, didn't want to bother them,

but he went over and she came by to say hi and chat. 

so nice of her!

Cheryl called the gentleman, the mayor :)

i think he was a regular.

but then who wouldn't be, i sure would if i lived in town. 

 perfect vintage scale coffee station.

chandelier with vintage pastry molds.

 yum!

what can you make with 

marshmellows, cupcake wrappers and straws?

a bakery chandelier of course!

the how to is in their new book.

 i hope to try and replicate this 

wall this summer.

perfect saying,

perfect shop, 

perfectly good day.
