The Marvels by Brian Selznick

Don't let the size of this book put you off! This 600 page behemoth reads like a 100 page novel.  If you read The Invention of Hugo Cabret you will understand why this book is as large as it is.  Mr. Selznick tells his story with a mixture of words and breathtaking pictures.  The entire first half of this novel is a complete story using pictures with very few words added in.  The second half is the story of a boy and his discovery and adventure with The Marvels.  This book beautifully tied together the past and the present into one wild ride of a story. 

Thank you for coming and visiting us at the Blue Rabbit Cottage.  We hope you had a lovely visit and that you'll come back and see us again soon.

Feta Attraction by Susannah Hardy

This is the first book in the A Greek to Me Mystery series.  When Georgie Nikolopatos' husband goes missing and owner of her rival restaurant turns up dead, Georgie finds herself at the top of the suspect list.  She has to run the family restaurant, deal with the crew of the TV show ghost hunters, find her husband and the killer before she finds herself in deep water.  This book was not my favorite of the cozies I've read lately.  There was too much going on in one book and while the author does pull all the strings together into a neat package, I just was mildly underwhelmed.  However, I am willing to try another book in the series, I'm hoping she was just setting up the premise for the whole series. 


We're glad you stopped by to visit us at the Blue Rabbit Cottage, stop by again soon to see what we've been up to.

Slow and Steady

This week has been a little slow for the Blue Rabbit Cottage.  I've been busy making baby presents for several of my friends, and finishing the school year up with my fourth grader.  Time just flies by and suddenly it is Friday again.  Thanks for stopping by to visit us at the Blue Rabbit Cottage.  I have a few design ideas to show you, a simple yummy recipe, and a fun book to share. 

On the Design Table

I've been working on some necklace designs this week some are more fleshed out than others.

The mostly finished one is probably my favorite, but it is hard to choose.  Do you have a favorite?  It will be exciting to see how they get blinged out in the next week or so.

Creamy Chicken Pasta

1 lb chicken
2 cans crushed tomatoes
1 cup spinach
1cup sour cream
1 box penne pasta

Cook chicken in pan.

Once cooked through add spinach and tomatoes warm through:

add sour cream.

Meanwhile cook pasta based on box directions.  Add cooked pasta to the sauce mixture and serve.

It is so simple and quick. A great meal for these hot nights, serve alone or with a salad.

The Proof is in the Pudding by Melinda Wells.  Della Carmichael owns a cooking school and has her own cable cooking show.  She's asked to step in last minute and be one of the three judges for a cook off at a local hotel.  Then one of the other judges is murdered and Della's friend is the prime suspect.  Della knows she has to step in and find the real killer before her friend is thrown in jail.  This is a good read and even includes several recipes in the back of the book.  This book is good for any cozy reader.

Thanks for stopping by to visit.  We'll be having new items coming into the store as this week goes on, so check by Etsy or check our Twitter page for updates.  Hope you've had a wonderful week and we'll see you next time.
