postcard from abroad and... cookies!

When I went to check the mail this morning I was surprised and elated to find a postcard from Venice! It was from the lovely Ana B over at On Dressing Up - she is currently winging her way around Europe, the lucky thing, and took the time to send a few postcards to fellow bloggers, which I think was just so sweet!





In other news, to celebrate the slight respite from the oppressive heat we have been having in NSW, I spent the morning baking more goodies, including these fun and colourful smartie cookies...



I noticed as I was going that I seemed to be making a LOT of cookies - I ended up with an entire Le Creuset mixing bowl full of dough! Then when I checked the recipe I realised it was for 60 cookies - oops. I froze half the dough, rolled into a log, for next time.

These were truly delicious, and I am not going to own to how many I have eaten already!

    That's such a sweet thing to do :) The cookies look very good Cate! I really hope you're feeling better soon ♥ I know how annoying injuries can be, I've put my back out a week ago and can barely move still :(

    I love postcards!

    I never thought of collecting them when I go overseas, I should start.

    Yes, I notice a lot of sinful cookies photos lately! Lol! Desserts are good. I just made chocolate ripple cake. :D
