Dessert On the Porch


The air in the evening is becoming cool and crisp.
We are trying to be outside every moment we can.

We are also enjoying the bounties of
the season with fresh peaches.


Tonight I will share a dessert 
 with 3 of my friends that
I am taking a class with.


It is so pretty and cool, I think we should 
eat it outside on the porch.


It is going to be served on a darling
iron tray table.





Square creamy yellow plates with
a leaf pattern are being used tonight to
serve the desserts on along
with cream flatware.

Cream and taupe paisley
napkins for everyone.

I just love my
 green bubble glassware
 for drinks.


Hydrangeas in a green pot
and a wire topiary with a green candle
fill out the table.


What a darling green ceramic pitcher
for serving drinks.  It has such fun
texture and design.





Now, the star of the evening
...................




French Peach Pie
flaky pie crust, almond flavored
filling and a topping of fresh, juicy peaches
mmmmmmmmmmmmm


Little individual servings in
mason jars.
Any dessert in individual servings is just
adorable, and serving it in mason jars makes
it even cuter.


A yellow rose from the garden is
the perfect garnish.






I will be giving you the recipe for this fantastic 
layered fresh peach pie 
in my next post.

I made both
individual pies 
and
a full sized pie. 

 Wonder which one
the ladies are going to get!

But first, I have to post this with


(UPDATE)

(I ended up giving the little ones away
as neighbor gifts and we four women plus
two husbands ate the whole one - guess I 
will have to make another one soon before 
peaches are gone.  Can't wait to give you
the recipe - I can smell fresh peaches just 
typing this!)

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

  5. Jacqueline, the colors in this post just blew me away.. so soft and muted and very much like a beautiful entry to fall weather. I hadn't seen the Ralph Lauren napkins in the cream/taupe variation or they would have jumped in my hands all by themselves. Love your green pitcher and can't wait on the recipe! xo marlis

  26. I am absolutely bonkers about fresh peaches. I can hardly wait to get your recipe. At the end of our season, I bought two large boxes of peaches, pealed and slice them, and froze them. If I can keep from eating them every single day, we should have peaches throughout most of the winter and into next spring...maybe...I really love peaches! Thanks for stopping by. You really can just give me a call. Cherry Kay
