Wish You Were Here!

(365/57)

Oh, dear spring, where are you? I am calling to you… please hurry and come soon! Please… pretty pretty please!

Of course, you know best when the time is right. And I respect that. So till you decide to appear I’ll try my best to pretend that you are already here.

Surrounding myself with heaps of colorful flowers might help, I think…

But still… pretty please!

Love,
Petra
 

Awesome Peach And Cinnamon Muffins

I think I’d have nothing against having these muffins on my table every single Sunday. They are sooo good.

They are moist, they have refreshing peach chunks in them and there’s this perfect amount of cinnamon that, along with milk in the batter, takes the taste into a really exciting level…

I highly recommend these! They are yummy!!

2. Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or vegetable oil, or line with paper muffin liners.

3. Dice the peaches.

I am using canned peaches here.

Today went just as wished for. There were muffins! Quite a few really amazing muffins! I will show them to you tomorrow, when the light conditions hopefully improve and I will be able to take a cute final shot.

But before that, I just wanted to show you these muffin (or cupcake) liners. Aren’t they just adorable? They melted my heart the moment I saw them…

Pure shabby chic awesomeness. I love them to bits.

If you have that question, then I surely have that answer… they are from Green Gate.

Wishing you a lovely new week!
