My recipe for "Sweet Celebrations" is a great one!
If you like orange slice candy...
then hang on to your baking sheet!
My BFF Shirley gave me this recipe a couple years ago
and it is one of my hubby's favorite cookies...any time of year.
Look closely and you will see the little pieces of
chopped up orange slice candy in the cookies.

I remember orange slice candy back when I was growing up...
so I think it is safe to call it "vintage"
My 2005 Cookie Party has a "Vintage" theme
beginning with a vintage lace tablecloth on the cookie table

A vintage tree in the kitchen is FULL of vintage ornaments
and vintage toys under it.
The curtain over the door is a vintage table cloth
I wore my Mom's apron over her house dress from the 1960s
I asked all my friends to wear vintage aprons
These "vintage"glamour girls wore their mink stoles!
"Leave it to Beaver" has got nothing on us!
I asked the girls to wear those aprons and give them to me as my hostess gift.
They each signed a small muslin square with their name
and the year we met...then
I made a signature kwilt with friendship stars
using the aprons and signature squares.
"Apron Strings and Cookies"
I will cherish this kwilt as long as there is sugar in my kitchen!
Forever!
