Grandma Love and all things Vintage

Today would have been my Grandmother's Birthday. And even though she has been gone a long time, I will never forget her, never stop loving her, and never stop honouring who she was.  She is the "May" in our "Ruby May", the salted caramel in our "Salty Sailor", and she is the love in my heart when I bake...

So today I honour all things Grandma. Her favourite cookies to bake were Rock Cakes. Very old-school...very vintage..and very comforting on cold rainy days such as this. I loved the glaced cherries best of all, both red and green. Always brings back such fond memories.

Whilst I love baking granny sweets, such as Coconut Ice, Rock Cakes, Slices and more, I am nowhere near being the supreme authority on Granny Goodness. No, for that, you'll need to check out my sister's blogs. Michelle is a blog goddess, responsible for Loving the Vintage, and The Royal Sisters. She is insanely popular all over the world, makes incredible crafts, and writes her very own crocheting patterns that are massive on etsy. She basically lives in a granny world, complete with the vintage Baby Bell oven, scarf in hair, and crocheting hook in hand at all times. I couldn't be more proud of her and her success, featured in Magazines such as Notebook, and would love nothing more than to see her published eventually in her own right, she really is that good!

So enjoy this wet, inside kind of day, and the simple things in life. Like a warm lunch, some baked treats, and a grandma crocheted blanket to snuggle under with the ones you love....
