Thursday's Treasures #2

 Well I had so much fun last week showing off my loot that this week was rather exciting taking photos of everything. 

And really there are some other bigger pieces that I bought but just wasn't ready to show off yet, mostly because I started painting them and will have to show you later. Such as a 1920's clothing drying rack and an old tool box. 

Author Interview: Melody Nunez "An Altered Existence: Fictitious Stories About Faces from the Past"

Being a book worm from an early age, I just love to read. So when my friend fulfilled her dream of publishing her book I was completely thrilled. Okay, I know what you are thinking...she's your friend, you have to love it. 

But I do love this book and I'm not the only one. Reviews boast "Romantic, spooky, quirky, sweet, creepy...there's a little of everything in these stories, something for everyone to enjoy." You find out for yourself by purchasing her book through Amazon HERE. 

Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cake with Lemon Glaze

This cake started off as a harmless pin on Pinterest. Three of my friends had pinned it which was peer pressure for me to pin it and the rest is divine delicious history. 

I love to bake, but there was a time when I was so bad at baking my Dad was leery about trying my various attempts at cookies and cakes. 

Thursday's Treasures #1

 I have been thinking about doing a showcase on some of the awesome treasure I find when I hit the local flea markets and thrift stores. 

And it is about time I start, hence, let this be the first edition of Thursday's Treasures. *Insert dramatic music!

Oven Baked Lemon Garlic and Herb Buttered Salmon

Lately I have been in a cooking rut, which is silly because there is a pile of recipes sitting on my kitchen counter and I find myself every night going "hmm, what should I cook for dinner?"

My Visit to Tehachapi, California

Sometimes I get to travel around the smallest parts of California. This last month I was able to spend some time in the beautiful city of Tehachapi, California. 

Maple-Thyme Butter Roasted Chicken

I know, the sound of maple is throwing you off. 

But trust me, it doesn't have an overwhelming taste of maple and when this bird is roasting in the oven. 

Your mouth is drooling!!!
