vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
Hi everyone! Thanks for joining me today. I can’t wait to talk to you about a favorite topic of mine. Open Kitchen Shelving. Open Kitchen Shelving comes in many styles, shapes and colors. From Farmhouse, Cottage and Industrial. There are many types to choose from.
This post contains affiliate links that I make a commission on at no extra cost to you. Hello everyone! I have something fun and creative for you today. I have a simple tutorial on How To Add Crystals To A Lamp. Sounds fun, right?
Everyone needs a little bling in their life, right?
I have had this lamp for about 15 years. I bought a new lamp shade, but it still wasn’t what I wanted. I added the satin rosettes, but still have been looking for something to create the look I was wanting.
It all starts with some stringed crystals that I bought on Amazon. I will have everything linked below.
Well, hello dear friends! My migraine is finally leaving and I am back to cleaning, cooking and creating a home for Hubby and me. It’s that perfect time of year for comfort food, isn’t it? And that is why I have made my own recipe for Creamy Potato Soup from Scratch recently.
I MUST tell you a story about the first time I made potato soup. We had only been married a few weeks, and it was a cool Fall day. An ideal day for soup, right? I thought I would dive into one of the many cook books I had received as a wedding present. (Yes, they gave cook books as gifts back then.) (HUGE SMILE)
Anyway, Hubby liked potato soup with lots of cheese and cornbread. I worked in the kitchen most of the afternoon making sure I timed it just right, so everything was ready when he got home from work.
I had never made either one before, but I was confident I was making a great meal.
Mistake number one. I baked the cornbread in a loaf pan. Um..don’t ever try it. It will take hours to bake fully. And/or the top will be burnt to a crisp and the middle will still be doughy. Yep, You guessed it-That is EXACTLY what happened to me. I was SO embarrassed!
Hello there my friends. How is your week going? I am doing well besides the fact that I have had a migraine for the past TWO days. BOO! BUT it is all good, because I can hardly wait to share a How To Makeover a 1970s Stereo with homemade chalky paint. *This post was updated October 2025.
