Onion focaccia and corn bread. Yum!!!

I have made olive and herb focaccia bread before but never onion.

It was delicious.

I wanted to let you know where you can find me more often these days.  

Facebook 

 is quick, easy and a fun way to connect.  I usually post daily.

You do not have to sign up, you can just click here  or on the Facebook icon

to the right of my blog to view my wall.  

I set the onion focaccia bread on this antique drying rack, If I remember

correctly I think its from Belgium.

 Cornbread in an long vintage bread basket and 

on French table linens in red and white.

 Reminds me of a summer picnic.

I also grabbed the same linen in blue and white.
