I couldn’t get these out of my mind so I went back for them.
I love, love, LOVE these vintage pie plates with the recipes printed right on them! I actually bought them to give away as Christmas gifts (I know, I’m a little early) but it will be hard to part with them.

I also snagged this for only $2.50!

I went home happy…..again.

I scored big time at the flea market last week!
Vintage Fabric- More than a yard of each for $1!
My first project I have planned for it is an apron.

Vintage Better Homes & Garden Cookbook $7 & Dr. Suess book $1
I found a page from a day calendar in the cookbook, it was so neat!
The previous owner was making oatmeal cookies almost exactly 23 years to the date I bought it!

And lastly, I found this beautiful swan brooch that I bought for a friend of mine who’s maiden name is Swann.
I was sooo tempted to keep it for myself.

It’s no secret I’m a big fan of Martha Stewart. When I saw her cupcake book at Costco for half off I just couldn’t help myself. It is just FILLED with incredible ideas and my favorite thing? Most of the recipes have less than 8 ingredients! I also love that she tells which frostings tips to use, how to display them & even how to package them for gifts!
Definitely recommended.

with a baby humungo in the family it’s inevitable that the number of empty formula cans rack up pretty quickly. Instead of throwing all of them out I decided to revamp them so I can use them around the house. Here is what I came up with but I have to admit I stole the idea from here.

Found this AMAZING site whilst perusing this morning.
Fashion forward, & classy for those of us who are just a tad more traditional.
