Longing for flowers,
Sending you love and hugs and smiles~

I'm sharing with you all this beautiful
"bouquet"of cookies~
These were actually a birthday gift
to my best friend Mary~
but they are so beautiful --
I wanted to share them with you too!
Don't they make you long for spring?
Are they NOT the cutest things you have ever seen?
I will confess that after I took the photos,
and before I gave these to Mary~~
(I ate one of the little flowers!)
(OK - really, I ate two of them.)
(shhhh-- don't tell!!)
Those of you who know me best~
know that I am obsessed with beautifully decorated
cookies.
(I don't want to make them--)

I just want to HAVE them!!
Actually -- I'm fine with not even eating them--
I could just look at these cookies
and be happy!
(and take pictures, of course!)
~~
But - trust me --
these are delicious!!
I love these beautiful cookies so much --
that I really am going to share them
with you!!

I'm STILL waiting on the daffodils to bloom -- waiting, waiting, waiting. It's supposed to snow this weekend!!! Eventually, I will be here with my HUGE (and beautiful) Vera Grateful Giveaway!
(OR -- we could just all sit here and eat these gorgeous cookies!)
xoxoxo,

Vicki, these cookies are wonderful and arranged on a basket like that, so lovely. I am really looking forward to that giveaway, and I will check out that link. Can't wait to see your daffodils. Hope you're feeling great. xo
Those cookies are too beautiful to eat. You always have something delicious for the eyes. I'm waiting for the snow to disappear. There is still so much on the ground.
Happy Spring and Easter.
Oops, I only saw Yeller Feller after I had sent my comment.
I hope that you have a great weekend.

Those beautiful cookies do look delicious. I'm waiting for spring, too......
Vicki, thanks so much for the link up! You took the most beautiful pictures of the cookies. I am so glad you tasted them and liked them! I do strive for both a pretty cookie and a great tasting one. No one wants a hard yucky cookie.
Thanks again!! I hope they bring a smile to your friend! :)
I.AM.SOOO.HUNGRY. :-/
You can just look at them. I would want to eat them ALL!
Those cookies are eye candy. Yeller Feller seems to be quite the helper.
To add to your talents, you are a cookie artist. Way too pretty to eat, but if they taste as good as they look, I guess you can consider them a Day Lilly, blooming for just a few hours.
Those cookies are the cutest thing ever! I do have a few miniture daffodils blooming, hopefully the snow won't kill them. Stay warm and sneak a few more of those cookies!!!
xo,
Deb
Oh how did I miss your post on Beautiful Avila and her gorgeous Spring garden party hat. So very precious. We had some Spring and my daffodils bloomed and then we had a horrendous rain storm that destroyed my beautiful flowers. Sunshine Smiles Dear...
Hi Vicki-wow what gorgeous cookies, I am so ready for spring too-cute kitty looking to see what you are taking a photo of lol
I'm just blown away by the talent of bakers these days...don't remember anything that lovely when I was young and a cake for a birthday was either a not-so-yummy concoction or a box mix from Mom! And cookies? Never that beautiful. I'm so impressed and how lucky for your friend to receive that little bit of Spring goodness! I'm sure she'll love it. We're getting snow this weekend also, but still hoping for a Spring warm up sometime!
OMGosh those cookies! I used to make wedding cakes and decorated cookies but alas the fibro has other ideas these days! I loved making them but oh they are so much work! I like your idea much better as it's calorie free! :D
Hugs,

Vicki, what wonderful looking cookies and so beautifully arranged. Now if I could only have a bite ... ! Glad Yeller Feller is enjoying himself too.
So pretty! Too pretty to eat. but I'll bet they smell too good NOT to eat!
Oh these look good enough to eat and I would certainly have a couple of them myself. I just spent Sunday thru yesterday baking cookies for kids who are coming...NOT all day long each day... but everyone has a favorite. Alas.. none of them look as wonderful as these flower cookies do. (But I can assure you they all TASTE good!)
They look absolutely yummy!! :-) And I love that you can be so creative with your own personal cookies!...Thanks for sharing, Vicki!
Those cookies are adorable!
Vicki!
Such a fun gift for a best friend! I have some of those mini daffodils as well as regular sized daffodils blooming in our yard! I love it when they come out!
Hearts to you!
Betsy
Im hungry! Lol- beautiful cookies ;)
I think you would have to have an iron will not to slip one of those beautiful cookies into your mouth. I think to fully enjoy the beauty of the cookie you have to taste the sweetness too. You are a delightful friend Vickie, do your friends appreciate how special you are?
Hugs,
Meredith
Oh my! Those cookies look absolutely fantastic. Krista is one talented lady. Hope all is well. Best wishes, Tammy
Cookies! Love the flower cookies and your lovely photographs of them. How sweet that YF sure likes to be where ever you are...Wishing you springtime weather real soon!
The cookies are too lovely to eat! Can't wait to see the daffodils too! She's an edible artist!
Indeed, beautiful cookies and I'll bettcha they were as tasty as good looking. Mary is one lucky gal!
Vicki, that is the cutest thing I've ever seen. And what a wonderful idea for a birthday gift, especially on top of the basket. Lovely. And I bet yummy too! LOL
So pretty! I love to bake but not decorate, so we just get plain ones in our house. Very talented!
You are right eating is better than making. These are fabulous!
How nice to see Yeller Feller again, and don't be too upset - I think he's just a fan of those cookies as well!
those cookies are AMAZING! wow...sooo lovely! i'd preserve them forever and just adore them everyday...well, maybe after "sampling" a few! tee hee! blessings....:)
They are beautiful
Oh Vicki, these are the most fantastic biscuits/cookies I've seen - Mary will be "over the moon" receiving such a beautiful gift!!!
I would love to sit down with you at your kitchen table with a cuppa and one of these pretty cookies - aww OK maybe two!!!
Krista is indeed a cookie artist - painting with icing and fondant!!!
It's always fun visiting your blog Vicki.
In case I don't see you before, I’m wishing you and the gardener a very "Happy Easter" dear Vicki!
much love and hugs
Shane ♥

Beautiful Cookies! What a super nice gift!
Beautiful Cookies! What a super nice gift!
Vicki, I wondered if those were edible cookies...beautiful and delicious...yum! The presentation is cute as well; someone has a great sense of humor.
Those cookies are gorgeous! (Too pretty to EAT!) Um, but I could probably "force myself"...
wonderful,arranged basket so very sweet.
I think I would have eaten a couple too! they are beautiful.
These are so pretty. I'm not sure I'd have been able to stop at just two :)
As always Vicki, I've enjoyed another post of yours. I love it here!
Love the flower cookie bouquet. I just wonder how long one would last at my house! Especially if it were a day when our grandson Matthew were here! They certainly are beautiful though.
We have lots of things blooming here now. All the spring bulb flowers. Flowering shrubs and even some garden perennials are in bloom. Loving it.

What a brilliant idea. I've never seen a cookie bouquet and I usually think of myself as Mr Smartypants who has seen it all!
I'm sure Mary will be thrilled with her gift even though you've been scoffing them already:)
Have a great week. Paul x
Oh those cookies just look too good
These wonderful cookies, with their beautiful pastel colors, do make me wish that the weather around here would get spring-like and stay that way for awhile. That little "Ball" jar is so cute. I wonder,did they taste as good as they look?!
Wow! Those are COOKIES??? Awesome! They look incredible... What a wonderful gift to give and receive.
Spring is very far off up here too - way too much snow yet to melt away. So much, that we don't WANT it melting too quickly or we'll have a huge flood.
Thanks for your "Springy" photos for brightening my day!
Se ven hermosas y deliciosas esas galletas.
Confieso que no me hubiera comido sólo dos, me las hubiera comido todas!! jaja.
Pero te guardaré el secreto.
Bellas bellas.
Un beso
oh
oh
oh
cookie envy over here!

Vicki,
Those are the coolest, most adorable cookies I've ever seen! Love the ball jar. I need to pin those. What a talented baker/artist Krista is! I'll be watching for that give-away.
Lisa
PS When you blog first popped up I thought for a second that you knitted them. Your pretty darn talented,it could happen:)
Oh wow! Cookie decorators are the most amazing people, unbelievable what they can make, i am always amazed!! those are beautiful!!
Frosted sugar cookies are my favorites. These are 'almost' too pretty to eat!
So glad I popped in to peruse your creative world.
Vicki, these cookies are AMAZING BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you for sharing,
Paulette
Wow Vicki, that's a work of art! The ball jar is just perfect. I want to find an engaged girl and throw her a shower so I can use them.
Have a great day sweetie!
