Moving on. . .
Welcome to the new "Eye Candy Friday" series. I even made a cute little logo we'll use week to week. Each week will have a new theme.
This week's Theme?
PIE SAFES!! No particular reason for this. Other than I love them, and I want one. Enjoy!
"Fresh-baked berry pies were a seasonal rarity on a pioneer homestead, and they needed protection from small children and other varmints. Cook's answer was a pie safe: a cabinet with tight joints and close-fitting doors to exclude pests and retain enough humidity to keep pies moist, but also featuring tiny, ant and gnat excluding perforations in the door so air could circulate to prevent mold."

My two favorites follow...
If you have a pie safe you would like to show off in your home, if you've made your own pie safe or if there is a pie safe out there you are dying to have, post it! I'd love to see :) And, I'm sure everyone else would too!
And with all of this talk of pie, you may be hungry...

So make this pie with your mom (like I do), or daughter...or son...or alone...
Come back and see me!

OH, that last picture of the pie safe is killing me. The blue and yellow one? It's perfect!
I am so glad you described what I pie safe & why it was used. I was terribly confused!
I like your new photo..very pretty! Job situation is going well. So far I still have a job with the same company, as they haven't decided to close yet. There is a board meeting mid-October, so I should know more by then :)
What a delicious looking recipe! I will have to make this!
Isn't that sweater just the cutest? I love it too, it's definetly on my must-have list.
Those pies make me want to scream. They are FABULOUS looking. Why did you have to go and post those?! Geeze. Now I have to have a bite.
And I love the pie safes. How neat!
That first one is to DIE FOR!
Good grief....now I have to add PIE SAFE to my list of must haves.
