It's hard to tell from the blurred out images, but they are very dainty and really pretty with finely scalloped edges on the saucer edge, cup rim and foot. The handles are also very delicately scrolled and I love that they have matching teaspoons and a perforated porcelain strainer and drainer. It's one of my absolute favourites, but I'm too scared to use it daily in case it breaks :D<br /><br />denise fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307457105004478777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-84379897193773260622013-02-14T05:24:15.636+08:002013-02-14T05:24:15.636+08:00they are absolutely adorable!they are absolutely adorable!Dinahttp://huntingfortheverybest.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-27847268748238026342013-02-13T23:40:57.819+08:002013-02-13T23:40:57.819+08:00Yes, I remember reading this story a while back. I...Yes, I remember reading this story a while back. I guess most people choose to remember and quote just the last bit. Anyway, it is a big thing here in the US but surprisingly sale of candy is second to that on Halloween. Your cookies are beautiful and so are the teacup and matching spoon. I like the way you formed the cookies without using a cookie cutter. Very creative indeed!Biren @ Roti n Ricehttp://www.rotinrice.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-2425417333882301352013-02-12T17:46:18.059+08:002013-02-12T17:46:18.059+08:00You're welcome Jean :) Haha - yes, you're...You're welcome Jean :) Haha - yes, you're spot on! My mum used to make bright pink coconut candy during my childhood and they do remind me of that, now that you mention it. Don't get me started on red roses during Valentine's Day. It's really ridiculous, but as you say, even flower sellers and chocolate makers need to make a living and it's their day, more than ours LOL These hearts may look a bit fiddly, but they are actually quite easy. In any case, finding fresh pandan in France is a bit of a lottery win, so yes, definitely make the pandan chiffon, to celebrate ;) <br /><br />Happy Valentine's day to you and your sweetheart!<br />denise fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307457105004478777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-14811867030096415722013-02-11T20:21:51.608+08:002013-02-11T20:21:51.608+08:00Thank you, Denise.

Very commercial today just about everywhere I guess. Oh well at least it keeps the chocolate & flower businesses running. The sale of red roses explode a magnitude here on VDay. <br />These swirly hearts look so delicious and kind of remind me of sweet coconut candies. Cookies are not my forté I have to say and this recipe looks quite a challenge for me to give a go LOL but its oh so tempting. <br /><br />While walking around our Chinatown here to see the New Year festivites & lion dance yesterday (Sunday) I saw pandan leaves at an asian superette, bought some and will try *fingers crossed* to make a pandan chiffon cake that I've been craving for awhile ever since I saw a participant in the French version of Top Chef making one to my utter surprise. <br />Yep thanks for another great read Denise! jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630037464713499987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-57104154264919199482013-02-11T18:58:06.333+08:002013-02-11T18:58:06.333+08:00Hi Usha :) Hmmm.....

Let's just say I wasn't in a very romantic mood when I wrote it....<br /><br />The hearts are pretty though, aren't they? And damned tasty too. By all means, ignore the sombre text and focus on the flaming pink soft focus visuals. I was thinking "romantic", but apparently, feeling "schizophrenic" . Uhh........

Yes, my youngest boy's school is also organising a Valentine's Day party but what's nice about the party is that it is for the whole family so parents and siblings are also invited to have dinner together at the school and participate in activities that will encourage family bonding. I think that's quite a nice and thoughtful way to observe the day :)denise fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307457105004478777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-39023272346790749112013-02-11T08:48:57.500+08:002013-02-11T08:48:57.500+08:00ooooh...ohhh..love is in the air! thank you for th...ooooh...ohhh..love is in the air! thank you for the story, thank you for the recipe .. so pretty!
