  1. Oooo, the bread reminds me of fruitcake because it's chockfull of goodies. I had passed over the recipe because I can live without bananas, but your photos have convinced me to start baking. I love your purple birdhouse and vase--they're elegant and whimsical (just like lavender itself). I've enjoyed this week!

  2. SWOON! What beautiful blueberry-lavender sprinkled loaves~ and surrounded by that gorgeous pitcher, flowers & birdhouse! Where did you find that pitcher?!

    We do like banana bread, that was a recipe that I bookmarked to return to, now more than ever...love your adorable gift loaf pans! What a delight with your profusion of berries~ of course I love them perched on the purple roof house! All smiles from me, I only wish I had a slice with some lavender butter to take it over the top in flavor!

  5. Well, I love banana bread, especially toasted with a bit of butter. I'm baking with blueberries this week because a friend brought me a case. Will definitely be making this recipe. I must get a copy of this cookbook. '-)
    Pretty lavender details. You find such charming things!

  6. Your blueberry bread looks devine!

    Many many moons ago I used to bake ginger blueberry muffins for my father-in-law. I would bake a double batch and freeze half so I could always be ready with his favorite treat in the winter months. He would oooo and ahhhh and make such a fuss . . . worked like a charm on me . . . I used to bake for him like a mad woman ; )

    I love all of your images from Mantanza Creek Winery. I'm not a wine drinker either but it certainly looks worth the trip. I also love the story of the couple renewing their vows . . . lovely!
