Have you seen this?

It is so cool!

Had to have it when I found it at Barnes & Noble

Just the strawberries alone got me! But is is cute all kinds of crafts and collecting and decorating.

Vintage and new

Has a project included! It is $11.99 in the US but so worth it

Hope you see it and enjoy it too!

Hugs, Lisa

the good old USA!

Tea cup treasures

I spent the weekend going to a few of my mother and mines, favorite places.

We spent Saturday at a teddy bear tea and Sunday we visited Suzanna’s!

I scored these two lovelies!

They are in pretty good shape and I am very pleased to add them to my collection!

I was the big spender. Yes ladies these beauties put me back $3!!

I will have to wait until it is cooler to go through my stash in storage to find my other cups and saucers, but these will be fun until I find them.

Hugs, Lisa

Inspired

I was on Facebook today and a friend posted a picture from another blog.

This was on Shabby Addicts Blog. Don’t you love this kitchen! It is a dream of mine to have shelves not cabinets in my kitchen, AND a HUGE farm sink!!!

Here though I was inspired by the chairs. I have 4 chairs, pink, green, (bought that way) and 2 brown :(

When I bought them they worked with my décor, anyway I bought the pink and green one with a new table and had the brilliant idea to paint the other two.

After long looking and buying paint and taking it back I got light blue and yellow. The yellow I wasn’t sure about but thought I’d like different colors.

Started with the light blue

Worked really great I think. covered easy and is lighter than I expected and I’m pleased!

Yellow, well did seriously think (ONLY THOUGHT) about painting the chair white first than using the yellow, I repressed that urge :(

It looks better here than in person. You can make out some of the streakiness on the top. Took the whole can. I will need another to finish the chair :(

I am pleased that it is a paler shade of yellow than the can suggested so I think it will go in my palette better. Do wish the project was done though.

I will post when the set is complete!

Happy Saturday!

Hugs, Lisa

Recipe HELP….

Happy Memorial Day, I can never forget I would not be sitting in my home with my dog, enjoying blogging if our freedoms had not been fought for for hundreds of years by those who just thought it was what they should do. I think brave means you do what is right, not just what you want to.

THANK YOU  to all who have served, are serving and to the families at home that share you with this great country.

As I am home enjoying a day off because of these great men and women, I watched Rachel Ray. It was a rerun but as I am not watching TV this time of day, but here was a really cool idea for meat loaf!

Meat and potato cup cakes!!

I love it!!

Now I have recently gone Gluten Free. SOOOO all the regular stuffings for a meat loaf I cannot use. Also I would love to add veggies to this.

Now do I add them to the meat so I have filling for the meat loaf, or stick to onions and seasoning in the meat and add veggies in the potatoes, I am thinking corn, maybe squash, zucchini, even broccoli. I am not a carrot and pea fan so I really don’t want to add them.

How would you do it. I really like the littleness and cupcakes rock! I really think this would be a great idea what would you do?
