These are quite possibly the most beautiful cookies I've ever made! Gingerbread tiles with a rum butter glaze. The stamps are from @nordicwareusa and the recipe is modified from the cookbook Sweet: Desserts from London's Ottolenghi. I'll absolutely be making these again. Also, these stamps are officially going to be a staple in our house for holidays forever! #gingerbreadcookies #cookiesofinstagram #cookiestamp #holidaycookies #holidaybaking #bakingathome #bakersgonnabake #holidaysarecoming #SweetToothSatisfied #dessertheaven #gingerbread https://www.instagram.com/p/CHSx-UADtEJ/?igshid=1u7znnkksblv6

It's the end of Dia De Los Muertos, and I'm reluctant to take down my ofrenda. It's small and missing some dear loved ones, but this is the first year I've had anything for them. It was so comforting to remember them this year. Next year I'll add the missing people, and do my best to hold their memory. Honestly though, I'm pretty happy with this for now. I'm still learning how to honor my ancestors, and hope they can forgive the imperfect journey! #diadelosmuertos #ofrenda #sugarskull #calavera #cultura #handmadewithlove #allsoulsday #ladyofthedead #dayofthedead https://www.instagram.com/p/CHFyWSMDHnG/?igshid=q1ob0dbz06sa

Getting in the spirit 👻 With such a small space I have to get creative with Halloween decorations, but I’m pretty happy with how it all turned out!

The baking bug hit last night, so I rummaged in the cabinets and used some left over pie crust to make peanut butter toaster pastries topped with chocolate icing. In hindsight I used a little too much peanut butter, but the hubby loves them, which is all I care about. If I did it over, I'd mix the peanut butter with either sugar or condensed milk to smooth it out a bit. Swipe to the see the process! #toasterpastry #diypoptarts #bakingathome #bakingtherapy #sweettooth #peanutbutterchocolate #bakersgonnabake https://www.instagram.com/p/CEMm_3NDatQ/?igshid=mdgn1u1ckffo

I love playing with makeup! This is how I've been staring busy during the pandemic 😘

So I found this beret, and now I'm thinking it's time for a new #cosplay as #beretegirl because she's the queen of the scene!!

I finally found a proper #hoopskirt to complete the look!! No more heavy, hot layers of petticoats for this girl! P.S. can we just talk about how perfect it is for a #cosplaygirl like me to work on a place that encourages costumes!?! It's the little things, like having a perfect backdrop 😜 • • • • • #historicalfashion #civilwarera #kevincostner #danceswithwolves #movieset #FortHaysSD #19thcentury #fashion #handmadedress #costume #historiccostume #pioneer #frontierdays #prairiegirl #wildwest #gonewiththewindfabulous #woodstove #antiques #moviememorabilia (at Fort Hays Chuckwagon & Mount Rushmore Tours)

In honor of Memorial Day I decided to add my first #cockcade to my outfit. Popular around the time of the Civil War cockades were intricate and handmade. Mine is definitely a modern interpretation rather than a faithful recreation, but mostly because I only learned about them this morning!!! True history buffs will notice the hilarious inaccuracy of using a South Dakota Democratic party pin for a Civil War Era cockcade 🤣 Thanks to @creativecockades for the inspiration! • • • • • #historical #civilwarera #historicfashion #costume #vintagevibe #memorialday #pioneer #wagonlife #sodakdems #democraticparty #hifromsd #blackhills #frontier #frontierlife #prairielife #prairiefashion #pioneerwoman #pioneer #inspiredbyhistory

I could wear gloves and petticoats every day!! For this dress I used a simplicity pattern. The gloves I found at an estate sale, and the necklace came from an antique shop. • • • • • #historicalcostuming #vintage #oldies #past #throwbackfashion #yesterday #antique #olddays #historia #historic #historical #culture #civilwarera #fancydress #1800s #forthayschuckwagon #hifromsd #costuming #handmade #sewing #pioneer
