A couple of years ago I was making and selling wreaths and I made quite a few to keep. This is one of my favorites!

Gnomes have been so popular lately. These would make a cute wreath or an adorable bow for the fall season.
We have more gnome ribbon for the Christmas holidays!
We have these ribbons and more at Starmaker’s Attic for the fall season. Below is a few of our fall ribbons. There are more than 850 different ribbons available in our shop.
With the abundance of summer vegetables, especially tomatoes, we can’t get enough. We love most vegetables, but I always think of my roasted tomato-basil soup even in the summer.
Tomato Basil Soup
2 pounds on the vine tomatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves of garlic – chopped
4 cups of chicken or vegetable stock
1 Medium onion – chopped
1 cup of fresh basil leaves – chopped
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon butter
2 15oz. cans of fire-roasted tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place tomatoes on a baking sheet with a rim. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast for 45 minutes. In a stock pot add the 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add butter, chopped garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes. Stir and saute until tender, about 7 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, including oven-roasted tomatoes and any liquid in the pan. Cook uncovered, for an hour. Use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree soup to desired consistency. Enjoy!
Just starting on the blog again, as the old one was scrambled when the site was down. Have patience and we will have plenty of photos and ideas posted again.
