Summer Cabinet

This week I worked on a cabinet inspired by all of the wonderful things that summer brings.  As always, the cabinet was based on something that my grandmother would have had in her summer kitchen, right down to the colander filled with fresh vegetables from her garden and eggs gathered each morning from the hen house.   Have a great weekend everyone.

 

The colander is by Susi at MiniEdenTienda, and the strawberry pie was made by Karen at MerciaMiniatures

Inspired By Summer

On the weekend I was inspired to create a few things that might be seen on a kitchen counter in the lovely days of summer. The collection is called "Inspired by Summer".  I hope that you like it.

Canning in the Miniature Kitchen - Dill Pickles

Dill Pickle Spears

I love the crisp bite of a tangy dill pickle spear.  Who can have a BBQ without a jar of dills?

Three varieties of dill pickles can be found in the pantry at WindyPoint: whole, spears and a mixed vegetable variety...all three based on the jars that my grandmother's used to make and would store in their pantries.







The mixed pickles are inspired from the handwritten book of recipes that my maternal grandmother gave to me as a wedding gift  - she always included what was on hand fresh from her garden....cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, red onions, zucchini, cucumber, bell peppers, mushrooms and carrots.
