Violet Martini's with Lisa!

Just went through my collection of recipes and found this one.  Before the little slip of paper it was written on... slides out of the book... thought I would share!  This is one that Lisa from Ablastfromthepast.etsy.com shared with me!
    These are yummy!

1 oz. Creme de Violette
1 oz. Plymouth Gin
1/2 oz. Chambord
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1  Tablespoon Simple Syrup

Combine all ingredients in a "Vintage" cocktail shaker... shake over ice and pour into your favorite Martini Glass.
        garnish with a lemon twist or pretty posy!
ENJOY!

This Spring brought a banner year for my Wisteria!

this confused vine has NEVER bloomed in the Spring

It usually pops its sprays of flowers in August for some reason, and only produces 2-3 blossoms a year!

look at this beauty NOW!

enjoy Spring!
