BLUE MONDAY!

                        Welcome to Blue Monday!                                                         

An afternoon of antiquing with Jacob is never a dull moment.

Of course, he brought along his geiger counter.

He likes to test dishes and glassware for radiation.

Apparently, dishes that are glazed with oranges 

and reds prior to 1973 are contaminated.

Particularly Fiesta Ware.

Click above to read more about it.

Others in the store were fascinated with his

contraption.  They wanted him to 

test this and test that.

I fell in love with this Roseville pitcher.

They were having an Anniversary Sale 

at

White Bear Antiques

25% off everything in the store!

I got it for $16.75!!!

We entered the drawing above 

and chose our three favorites 

from this selection.

And Score!

We both won!

Jacob won his first choice

The Little Brown Jug!

And I won

the 

Rabbit Cookie Jar!

It's Pink Saturday!

Were you aware that Coach has their own perfume?

The  fragrance is a blend of

soft florals such as,

water lily, violet, jasmine, orange flower and genet flower. 

With the light citrusy scents of 

green mandarin, and guava and 

with heady undertones such as

honey,  mimosa, 

amber, vanilla and precious woods. 

 

It is a very pretty scent.

It is not strong.

You know, how some perfumes 

give you a headache right after you apply them?

This one does not.

They got it just right.

It is not "sweet".

It is not "Woodsy".

It is a very  "clean" scent.

They describe the fragrance as an Eau d parfum,

which is stronger and longer lasting than a eau de toilette,

or a cologne spray.

It also comes packaged as a solid

in the cutest little package

that looks just like the 

Coach Hangtag.

This perfume solid sells for $40.

The above colorful bottle is a limited edition package.

Each eau de parfum bottle comes with it's 

own cute little rhinestone

encrusted hangtag.

This bottle is the original and current package.

This  1.7 oz. spray sells for $75.

These  purse sprays are $45 each.

Be sure to check out the Coach website

 for other products that are available.

PINK SATURDAY ~ brought to you by the letter "C"

Today is Pink Saturday

which is brought to you today

by the  letter "C".

Today it was  5 below at noon.

I wanted something comforting and warm

How about some Chicken soup with Dumplings .

This is the cutest little car.

Have you seen these around?

This is a Smart Car.

Me & my friend Mary 

 went to the Outlet Mall

shopping last weekend.

(Sorry no photos - I brought the camera

but forgot to take them).

Cooking on the Cuisinart Griddler is a snap!

I've created Pork Chops, Chicken Breasts,

Steaks & Burgers

and they all  are cooked to perfection!

   

My Dad was craving Oatmeal Craisin Pecan Cookies.

I baked a batch or two 

this afternoon.

I could always eat 

a good Cookie!

Chocolate!   

Need I say More?

Cavities.

Well, I personally don't want one,

but I work in a dental office 

and they bring me Cash!

I Know, 

I am a Diet Coke addict.

I have to start my day with an icy cold can of Diet Coke!

Candy.  

These cherry juju hearts

are my absolute favorites.

I LOVE how they get stuck 

in my teeth.

(I brush & floss.)

Who can resist a Coach Handbag?

Especially one purchased 

at the Coach Outlet Store!

Isn't it Cute?

Cottage Style.

I adore checks.

I have them in every room of my house.

Cabbage Roses & Checks!

Double bonus!

Okay, I could go on and on....

I'm Hooked On...

Meatloaf!

Notice how mine is encapsulated in bacon.

That is probably the only part

that Jacob eats.

On a cold winter day 

it's a warm comforting meal.

I'll give you my recipe 

if you give me yours.

The Best is the 

leftover

Meatloaf Sandwich!

Oops! A Little Bit Late - But I Can't Find My Before Pics!

Here are pictures of the furniture 

in our sunroom.

(You may remember this from RMS.)

I ordered the furniture 

from

Pottery Barn.

The cushions were

 sold with a white duck twill covering.

That would never do in my home.

It is a sunporch, afterall.

I have a dog, 

I like to eat chocolate

and Cheetoes.

So, I made the slipcovers.

I made them so that

they can be reversed.

(That will be featured in a future post...)

On the other side of the cushions

the material is the red gingham checks.

Also, I swapped out the roller shades 

in the windows for

the matchstick blinds.

My second project 

is the kitchen.

(Which was also posted on RMS.)

Although it was started in 2007.

It was completed this past winter.

I do not have a good

before picture.

We started with the appliances.

I bought the stove and microwave first.

Then we added the hardwood floor and the dishwasher drawers.

As you can see,

me and my Dad installed the floor!

(Honest, I did help - I didn't just stand there

and snap photos....)

Next came the Silestone countertop and the 

French door refrigerator.  

I know that most of you

do not care for upper cabinets,

but I chose to leave them in place.

I need  all the storage I can get

to hide all my dishes!

Sorry, this was posted so late....

I am on my new computer.  

I don't have my photos transferred

onto this one yet.  I  thought I could get them

from RMS,  (but I can't even sign on - 

it's so - I don't know....I throw up my

hands in disgust!)

Thanks for understanding.

This post was intended for Rhoda's Before & After

Top Ten Projects of 2008.

Blue Monday!

Welcome to Blue Monday!

Visit

Smiling Sally

for the list of  all the blue participants.

This weekend we attended an antique sale

at our local

HarMar Mall.

This pair of salt & pepper shakers were JUST $75.00.

Jacob brought along his geiger counter to check

for all the vaseline glass and the orange and red fiesta ware.  It turns out they are

loaded with radiation.

I LOVE these glasses, but at $38.00 each they were a little 

rich for my blood today.   (Remember, I have a boy that will 

be driving soon! )  Also, they had one plate that matched,

wouldn't it be a cute set for the sunporch?  I may have to look for

more of these in the future. 

Here is a puzzle update! 

Jacob snapped in the last piece yesterday!

Now we have the crossword puzzle left to do.

We are are waiting for Gramma 

to help us with that

because she loves 

to do her Crossword Puzzles!

I wanted to share these little penguins with you.

Visit Brokenyolks for their recipe.

Rubybean assures us that they

are easier than they look and 

oh, so tasty!

Pink Saturday!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Remember the little Furby?

This one is a McDonald's Happy Meal toy

from 1998.

Jacob was organizing his closet 

and found this little guy.

Crackers were opened on

New Year's Eve.

Jacob received a mini screwdriver set,

Grampa received a mini tape measure,

Gramma received a toenail clipper,

and

I got the loot in the picture.....

The blue thingy is a tissue paper crown.

It can only go up from here....

A Puzzling New Year!

The New Year 

was a puzzle to us!

Grampa & Gramma joined in on the challenge!

Let me tell you

it is a doozy!

We're still working on it!

You'd think this would be easy....

After the jigsaw is completed

you need to work the 

Crossword Puzzle, too!

At the countdown 

crackers were opened!

All the festivities

 was just 

too much

for 

Miles!
