Canning

I mentioned earlier that I plan on learning to can things this summer.  Earlier today my first opportunity presented itself!  My uncle and mother picked all of these cucumbers.  I want to make dill pickles for sure, maybe some other kinds if I find a good recipe.  I will post pictures, the story, and recipes soon!

Pyrex

Estate Sales

I went to two estate sales this morning, they were both on the last day of the sale...soooo...everything was 50% off!!!  I found this retro night stand for $20.  I may paint it, but I think I might just leave the original finish. 

At the next sale I found these Pyrex mixing bowls.  $3 for both.

Name:  Early American
Type:  Nesting Mixing Bowls
Year:  1961

There is a third 2.5 quart mixing bowl that goes with this set.  I hope to find it soon!

Pyrex Lover

My newest love in life is collecting vintage Pyrex!  I have only been collecting for a few months now and have found many pieces at thrift stores.  I found two today and wanted to share!

On the left is a lemonade carafe and on the right is the Town and Country oval divided serving dish from the 1960's which comes in several different color combinations.   I got the both for $5.50!!

In the bag.

I love Southern Living Magazine ! In the current issue I found this vintage inspired hand bag made by pistol-stitched based out of Maryland and fell in love!  It is made with rare fabrics, handmade wooden handles and vintage button.  You can buy it on Ali Dryer's etsy site http://www.etsy.com/listing/75078880/golden-mums-supper-clutch.  Its $98 dollars...a little too much for my wallet,  but I can still lust. :-)

Let it grow!

These are my plants I planted at the beginning of May.  My two tomato plants are doing very well!...everything else not so much.

This is my Juliet plant.  It has grown about two feet since I took this picture!  It will produce little oval tomatoes like the picture below.  I already have a few small green ones growing they should be ready in two weeks or less!!
