In Charlotte's cozy kitchen, she has mixed up some dough for making crackers. She has used butter that she hand churned from the Corgyncombe Dairy Goat Carmella Lucille's cream. In the above photograph, she has rolled out the dough, cut out the crackers, and is pricking designs in them with a fork. On the cookie sheet in front of her are some crackers that have been baked in her old fashioned wood cookstove.
Charlotte used a pretty butter mold to print her pat of butter. Charlotte's delightful little apron was found in a basket of old doll clothes in the charming old fashioned store that Diane and Sarah have to go up a mountain and down again to visit. Our doll Amelia wrote a story about our visit to the old fashioned store and we will have to feature it on The Corgyncombe Courant sometime.
Charlotte transfers the crackers onto the cookie sheet.
The crackers are then put into the oven.
Charlotte has made some cheese using Corgyncombe Dairy Goat Carmella Lucille's milk, and added chives from The Corgyncombe Garden of Herbs.
Charlotte enjoys the cheese with her crackers!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dearest Diane and Sarah,
Oh, I love dear Charlotte! She is so delightful and charming. How sweet of you and Sarah to go up the mountain and down again, to find her such a pretty apron! She does look lovely in it, and it will protect her beautiful frock as she bakes her delicious crackers! It is wonderful she took the time to imprint her homemade butter with a pretty mold. All of those special touches mean so much. The cheese made from Carmella Lucille's milk looks so delicious, a perfect accompaniment for the crackers, oh and to include herbs from the garden, too! Her oven is adorable, and all of the photos are beautiful. I thank you both for sharing Charlotte's baking day!
Much love from your kindred spirit,
Paula
