Check out her entertaining blog.
It inspired me to make Raspberry Filled Chocolate Mini Cupcakes (recipe here)
for a little dinner party on the patio last night.
Grilled shrimp and scallops, lemon risotto and
this Caprese salad from Stone Gable was also on the menu.
I skewered them with rosemary from our garden.
Susie and I both bid on this little oil painting at a school fundraiser. She won.
Last night, she surprised me by wrapping it up and giving it to me as a hostess gift.
So sweet!!!
When our friend Mark was visiting from Florida, he asked that a fourth chair
in the kitchen sitting area be added for him.
So, I recovered the seat and added the one on the left (you reading this, Mark?).

Hello,
Another beautiful table setting. Also love the cute sign above the stove. I am excited that you are on Facebook. I will check it out.
Have a nice week.
Claudia
Such a lovely table setting, lucky and cherished guests. Last evening we had Pollo Caprese, in which I had nothing better to do than ask for some extra fresh mozzarella. Heaven….
The signs are lovely. And cupcakes always cheer me up; though, I do not make them too often. But, they are so, so sweet. Have a wonderful day ~ Alexandra
That sign adds just a little more flavor to your already gorgeous kitchen, Mary Ann. Wish we had weather that was conducive to alfresco dining more often. Too many bugs! LOL You made my mouth water when I saw your Caprese salad. I have all the ingredients but the fresh mozzarella- guess today I'll make a run to the grocer. yummers…. I do like to eat, drink, and be merry, so maybe I'll win that sign!
🙂 Sue
Love the changes you have made and adore your sign. I must say, the Caprese salad looks divine!
I can never get enough of your kitchen. Gorgeous!!!
I would love that cute sign! I'll also take everything on your outdoor table. Hey… Mark asked for a chair and got it… it's worth a try 🙂
Mary Ann I just love your kitchen!!!!
Love that salad too!!!
You won some great things and that painting is beautiful. What a thoughtful friend!
Love your wins! The sign is perfect in your gorgeous kitchen…and the red one would be perfect in mine! 🙂 I love, love Caprese salad and this one looks divine. I'm sure your guests loved the dinner.
Be glad you're not in Texas now…still have triple digits daily.

Wow, your kitchen is amazing! The sign goes so well!

Mary Ann,
Love your sign, LOVE your kitchen and your cupcakes look just like those published. How lucky to receive that oil painting…it's beautiful and it looks just perfect in that spot with some of your cookbooks. How clever to use fresh rosemary as skewers on your caprese salad.

Of course I follow you. Sign me up!

Count me in on the giveaway! The table looks very inviting and I just read on Stone Gables' blog the recipe for the Caprese salad last night…I hope it tasted as good as it looks! Beautiful kitchen as well to prepare it in!
The caprese salad looks delicious! Makes me want to order one for lunch! Your kitchen looks great.
Everything you are showing here is wonderful.
I love your pretty blog and your kitchen is to die for.
I would LOVE to win that adorable sign.

Your new sign looks terrific over your hood! The cupcakes and caprese salad look amazing! I'm coming to dinner at your house. 😉
Thanks for sharing and for hosting this terrific giveaway! That sign would fit perfectly in my kitchen.
Mary Ann, as you know, your kitchen is in my dream kitchen inspiration files! I like the addition of the ottoman in your seating area (or was it always there and I didn't notice it?) Also the little pop of color the chairs bring in! So pretty and your new sign is just perfect above your stove!
Love the signs! And even more so, I seriously adore your plates! Where did you get them??
xoxx Linda
The sign looks perfect in your cottage by la mer as do your cupcakes. 🙂

Neat sign. I may crib the idea for my kitchen if I do not win this one
I like the looks of the summer salad. My tomatoes are just coming on. I will put it on the menu.
I am new to your blog as I just added it to my Google reader this week.
Cool sign…I love your kitchen!
Love all your wins – the la maison pickett sign is just perfect. Your menu looks fabulous and table beautiful!! I'm sure the evening was a success. I saw the caprese salad over at Stone Gables as well – yours looks equally delicious!
