Hooked Chair Pad

A few weeks ago my youngest son brought home this wood office chair. One of the guys where he works brought it to work to throw in the dumpster.  No one knows me better than my son, he loves Goodwill, Flea Markets, Antique stores as much as I do. He sent me text with the…

Salt Dough Cherry Pie

On January 27, I celebrated my 60th birthday!  The worst part of turning 60 is I have to go get my photo taken for my drivers license!  Why is it those photos always look like mug shots??  I celebrated with my hubby, and my son and his fiance. My grand-daughter who lives in Texas made a…

Whisk Broom Valance

People rarely use whisk brooms anymore, when I was growing up in the 60’s it was the only way we swept the dirt out of car! Since changing my decor to a more primitive look (not that growing up in the 60’s makes me primitive) I notice a lot of whisk brooms in the decor.…

Christmas Blessings Star Primitive Tree Topper

My Christmas tree needed a new topper and I found one the other day at Goodwill for $1.99. It had a spring bottom that I really liked and thought it would look good on my  top of my tree.  My only problem was it wouldn’t stay on the tree.  The spring bottom was kind of…

Caramel Heavenlies

It’s the Saturday before Christmas and I’m just now doing some of my cookie baking!  I almost didn’t bake any cookies, just because I know I’ll eat them if they are in the house and I don’t want to put on any more weight!! Can anyone relate with me?  However, Christmas only comes once a…

So, the other day I was in the Physical Therapy waiting room…waiting for my hubby to get done with his PT, and I struck up a conversation with two ladies.  Somehow, we got on the subject of recipes and one of the ladies told me about her famous Grape Salad.  She said she makes it…
