I love to bake at the Holidays, and I love the smell of gingerbread. I think that nothing better describes the Holidays more than the smell of fresh gingerbread baking in the oven, and then the gingerbread houses and displays as a result of that hard work!

I count myself lucky to have had some really great clients, and as a measure of my appreciation, I sometimes drop off a gingerbread house – to both surprise and hopefully delight! I think that in this season of giving, nothing is more rewarding than making something from the heart and given with love. May I take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful Holiday season, and a bountiful and prosperous 2011.

New Rochelle is GREAT!

Here are some gingerbread toy shops – complete with toys on display through the windows…. and some Victorian Caroliers….. “It’s the Season” (to both buy and sell!).
