Deal Day

Today at Food Lion I got Marcal TP for 35 cent and paper towels for free...just tax...score!  Learning the couponing game, I feel so old...never would I have expected to be excited TP and paper towels. :-)

Chips and Flowers

I have a few new finds to share.  First...

I went to several yard sales this weekend this is probably my best score.  I have seen these Charles Chip tins in antique malls going for $20-30.  Guess how much I paid for this one??... 25 cents!!! 

Second...

Pyrex of course!

Pretty Sour Cream

My newest vintage obsession is sour cream glasses.  I was looking through this months Martha Stewart and there was an article about them, and I fell in love!  I had seen jelly jars that people could use as glasses after all the jelly was gone, but never sour cream ones.  They have such awesome vintage patterns.  I don’t think I will be finding any unless I buy them online…but I can hope to find a hoarder’s estate sale with some!  Don’t you wish sour cream and other products still came in containers like these?!?  I do!

Moving Ahhh...

I spent all weekend moving! After almost getting a washing machine dropped on me and breaking the French press...it is finished!!!  I don’t know where anything is and spent almost an hour looking for the darn TRASH BAGS and dish detergent!  I am working on finding awesome retro piece to transform my apartment.  There are boxes every where, as soon as they are all packed away I will post pictures!!    My tomato plants made it through the move and I have six big tomatoes just waiting to turn.  Well...just a short update since I have not posted in forever!  The end

I need my house to look like this one day!  From Flickr.

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!
