When I returned, the months that followed were full of more changes: A move from Seattle back to Pie Cottage, a new and unexpected relationship begun with great hopes only to crash and burn…”tears and fears“…you know how it goes.

But, I got through it…as best I could…battered, bruised and hopefully a little wiser.

    And, lots of good health and love in your life. I would like to ask a question on top layer of
    pie design. How do I do or get those pretty little hearts on a two crust pie? I will appreciate you telling me. Maybe something I buy in Boston where I live. Thanks so much and again lots of health and happiness in your life. Susan

      Hi Susan- I cut them out with little cookie cutters and then appliqué them on with a bit of water on the backside. Easy!
