Vintage Kitchen Swap

Our mail came really late today, but look what came! Jo said it was like Christmas. These goodies travelled from MN to CA with only one small casualty -- one of the orange bowls broke. Jo thinks she can superglue it. Does superglue hold well enough to use the item again to hold liquids?

I had told Dee that I didn't have an apron so she sent me this cute gingham with cross stitch embroidery on it. Maowie approves. lol

I think Jo was even more excited then me! We love these lime green sugar/creamer set. I don't think I even told her that I liked green.

I made cupcakes earlier today. Amazing there were still some left! The next picture is an adorable set of ceramic cupcake cups. I've never seen these before. You can see a close up in the first picture -- I stuck one of my chocolate cupcakes in one. Cute cute cute!!!

Now I can post the photos of what I sent to Dee. But later, we put in an Audrey Hepburn movie and even Glenn's getting into it!

Vintage Kitchen Swap Hint

Hi, Dee! Here's your first sneak peek at what's coming to you next week for the vintage kitchen swap:

Doesn't look like much, does it? Maybe I should have taken more? And I'm still working on a few things. Hopefully, this will go out Monday.

Weekend

I went shopping yesterday. Supposedly for the vintage kitchen swap that Jenny is hosting over on her website. I did buy some things for the swap, but also ended up buying a lot for us! I'm not posting photos of the things for the swap yet just in case Dee reads this. Dee, I found lots of fun stuff. I hope you like it. I do! In fact, I'm really tempted to keep some of it! LOL

Look at this great wooden salad bowl I found. It was all scratched up when I bought it but it's really heavy and I thought it would clean up nice. I washed it with soap & water, rubbed olive oil all over it, then buffed it out. Looks like new! And only $3.00. I also found a couple of jackets and two pair of shoes (new) that all three of us can share. (It's nice being able to wear the same clothes as your teenage daughters!) And a new outfit for work for me. (The girls COULD wear this, too, but I don't think they want to... lol)

Lauren had some friends from Fresno come up for the weekend. She met the twins last summer. They were on her Cameroon team. They're seniors and this was the first "road trip" their parents let them go on alone. All three of them drove up to the Jelly Belly Factory Saturday.
And, Jordann's taking photography as her elective this semester. She had to take photos showing different types of lighting. She got a pretty good shot of the hills behind our house. I love seeing them in the late afternoon. The shadows just get deeper and longer.
Glenn's about to take the laptop away from me so he can balance the checkbook. Thanks for reading my blog! :-)
