A tasty little bird, and some new jewelry, too

In honor (or honour, as we spell it in Canada) of Canadian Thanksgiving, we did the roasted bird thing for dinner last night. It was all kind of last minute - at 3pm I still hadn't made a grocery list.  In the interest of time I decided to forgo the 15 pound turkey, and opted for a couple 1.5 pound Cornish hens instead.  (Funny how I went from the biggest bird you could cook, to the smallest).

Allow me to say that for someone who loves to cook as much as I do, I can't believe I've never made Cornish hens before.  Sooo easy to make. So fancy to look at.  So yum in the tum.

Canadian Thanksgiving in Atlanta - organic cornish game hen, cornbread stuffing, French beans, candied sweet potato spears, and roasted potatoes (oh and wine, of course)

Make a wish (on the wee-est wish bone I've ever seen)

And for dessert - putting some of those fresh-picked pommes to good use

French apple tart

In other news, I've got some new designs to show you.  People have been asking (and keep asking)  for me to make jewelry with symbols of faith.  Here are  a few new ones that I'm adding to my Lucky Charms series. They'll be available in my Etsy shop tonight. 

Ichthys, Star of David, Hamsa 

Soon to come will also be a Lotus Flower and Spiral Goddess.  If there's a symbol that you'd like that I haven't mentioned, just contact me. If I can draw it, I can make it.

P.S. - Thanks to Justine's Originals for featuring my Spooky Cat earrings in her Halloween inspired blog post today.
