Last weekend one of our favorite bloggers, Joy The Baker, invited us over for dinner. (Insert fan girl screams here… We love her!) We brought supplies to make a version of our whiskey lemonade, this time with mint simple syrup, fresh mint and an edible flower just because it's pretty.
Joy's yard is such a dreamy space, perfect for a casual dinner with new friends! She made a delicious chocolate chip cake and she let us test some super secret (shh!) ice cream recipes. We had a wonderful time. It was inspiring to soak up a little bit of Joy's magic. xo. Elsie + Emma
ps. If you haven't read Joy's Cookbook, you're missing out!

I really love drinks like this! Wish I had them a lot!
Hi,
I’m a UK follower and squealed when I saw you in my recent copy of Grazia magazine I was so excited, and bored my mum to tears explaining about all the different things you’ve made that were featured. Major well done! I’ve also added you to my second ever blog post!

Um JEALOUS!!! This is amazing! I love the edible flower… it’s really pretty but do you really eat it? It seems kind of… prickly. Looks like you had an awesome time!
Wow, I’m extremely jealous. I would have loved to be at that backyard party. It looks stunning. I’ve just recently started following you and Joy, and it hurts my heart that I’ve been missing out for so long. Some of the best voices out there.
Everything looked so lovely. I’d luv to make the whiskey lemonade but couldn’t find the recipe anywhere. Is there any way I could get the regular and the mint whiskey lemonade recipes? Thank you in advance if I can, and I understnd if I can’t.
Looks like a wonderful time–those flowers in the drinks are so pretty with those straws! It’s always so cool to see some of my favorite bloggers together! 🙂

Hi Kim! Here’s our whiskey lemonade recipe- http://abeautifulmess.com/2013/02/whiskey-lemonade-with-honey.html the mint version is the same, but you use mint when making the simple syrup (5+ pieces) and then add fresh mint to the drink!
What a lovely little space in which to dine – particularly on that gorgeous-looking chocolate chip cake!
absolutely gorgeous! thanks for introducing me to Joy the Baker! x
OMG you girls are so lucky! Looks like you had a great time with Joy and a good dinner too! 🙂
I need those birch straws.
Great pictures, you always succeed in evoking a certain joyfull, summery mood in your pictures; it’s amazing.
Looks like a wonderful time–those flowers in the drinks are so pretty with those straws! It’s always so cool to see some of my favorite bloggers together! 🙂
OMG! This is amazing! Super jealous haha!
