Colonial Corn Pudding, Pumpkin Cupcakes, & Christmas Cards

Sunday, November 23, 2025

Thanks for a fabulous year on Ebay! Besides Arthur and three fab Himstedts, I got to spoil my Best Witch in Gettysburg for our birthdays and retreat to The 1777 Americana Inn. As a thank you I've marked more and more things on sale for the holidays: handmade art dolls, original watercolors, antiques, and rare books. Your generosity will be shared at Christmas at Joanna Furnace and The Letitia Penn Doll Club Christmas party. I'm making my shopping list for Thanksgiving. I'm making corn pudding from an early American recipe in my new cookbook from Conrad Weiser Homestead. I made it to the Ms with my Christmas cards. I'm also reading Punch The Delights and Dangers of the Flowing Bowl that Ron got me for Christmas last year from Pottsgrove Manor.TTYL...

Thank You! 🦃

Maxwell Mansion & More

Today we visited the Ebenezer Maxwell house in Germantown, Philadelphia. They have a nice dollhouse and more. From there we went to the Francis Poke Quaker house at Awbury. I got a passport there to all of the thirty-seven gardens in the area. We ate at The Gunpowder Inn, a historic place we both love. Frankie and Arthur were good while we were gone, so wonders never cease. I'm writing out my Christmas cards while watching the second season of A Man on the Inside, I'm a fan. Daddy would've loved it. Did you preorder the second Stevie doll, Belladonna, yet? I did. Why is she wearing a white dress? Don't want Edwina Scissors. My ghoulfriend thought that she was supposed to be Lilith from CHEERS. Remember when she was dancing around The White House in a thong for Clinton? TTYL, I've only reached G. My relatives all talk how mine are the first Christmas cards they get, but I have some international cards, and The Pony Hexpress takes a month. I do not decorate until December. The neighbors are already decorated. It's ridiculous.
