It occurred to me that I could cook on my cottage table where the light was good and start bringing you cottage kitchen posts. So today I debut the "Cottage Kitchen", from "Victory Cottage." The name Victory Cottage is a spinoff of the Victory Gardens of the WWII era but with a twist. I'll let you read and discover the twist. So, where do you find the Victory Cottage? It is the name of my new Instagram account. You can find it here: @victory_cottage_. The Charm of Home will remain the main blog, and I will post all the same things at both places.
So let's chat. Where have I been for four years? I was homeschooling one of my children. A lot has happened in the last four years. I have been most excited to tell you that I have also expanded the cottage garden a lot, which I will be sharing. I plan to post each week on the cottage garden, the cottage kitchen, and a cottage tea.
What am I making today in the kitchen today? It is a Victoria sponge cake. I made it in a 6-inch pan. I will be making a lot of sweets in smaller sizes. A full-size dessert is just too much for us now, so the smaller sweets will be perfect.
I am going to embellish this cake with edible pansies. Photographing myself cooking is a new thing. I am still getting used to it.
Pansies are one of my favorite flowers for spring. They look good on the front porch or on the food!
The peonies and a lovely coral pink tulip have bloomed, and I put them together and really liked the color combination.
Welcome back, and I can't wait to create more cottage content for you! Cottage has always been my style, and it has resurfaced!
In Victory,
Sherry

Sherry Dear,
How glad I'm to have news from you!
I'm Daniela from ~ My little old world ~ (Dany) and I'm so glad to read a post from you, to watch your so lovely shots with your so beautiful blue china and your intention to write cottage style recipes, I love them!
Honestly I've already tried a recipe of the Victoria Sponge Cake, as I wrote in a post of mine: it was Mrs Beeton's one and I succeeded although I suppose it to be if not the very first, one of the first written.
Click HERE if you want to have a look at it, sweet Lady (to read the text in English you've to scroll down the page).
Sending hugs and more hugs to you
X Daniela
I am delighted to see you are blogging again! This is a lovely post. God bless!
