Every year, my church has a huge garage sale, where all proceeds - from donations made by attendees - go to help local homeless outreach programs.
It's always a fabulous time. There are many things to search for, dig through, and discover as buried treasure - feeling slightly like a pig looking for truffles. It's a sure fun time. Nothing like a big old garage sale to get my vintage juices flowing.
I found a few things, most going to my vintage shop. And the Pyrex? Well, that's one for me to keep (I didn't have this one. Hooray!)
Here's what I got:
Plus a candle and dish towel. Ten items for $10. Can't beat that.
I volunteered two years ago for this event, and plan on doing it next year (this year didn't line up right with my schedule.) It's so fun to shop at these events and even more fun to help set up.
Until the next vintage haul, my vintage friends, have a great day. ♥
My husband and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary just this week. I have officially been married longer than I was single and that thought is a bit surreal. Because I sure still feel 24 years old.
We had a fun drive to the Napa Valley, went to a wine tasting at Baldacci Vineyards (incredible reds available), and stayed at the Silverado Resort and Spa.
This was the first time my husband played golf there, but I've been to the spa at least four or five times over the last 15 years, so this was a familiar haunt. One day (when I'm better), I'd like to golf with my husband.
It was a short and sweet trip, but it provided the perfect amount of rejuvenation and celebration needed to enjoy a wonderful 24th anniversary. The wine tasting at Baldacci Vineyards was a treat. Sure, we could've done more tastings, but we had such a generous helping at Baldacci, that we were set! Highly recommend this winery.
The Silverado Hotel and Resort is a classic. I'm grateful to have gotten to go.
Came across this wonderful photo from 1925.
It's women drinking coffee in a cafe in Paris.
Love everything about it. Friends and coffee and Paris.
Their shoes are perfect, too.
Happy Friday. (TGIVF.)
Earlier this year, for Father's Day, I made my husband his favorite drink: the Manhattan.
Now, we don't make mixed drinks often. We normally just drink wine if we drink at all, and he'll occasionally have a beer. But he does like a good rye whiskey which is the base for this cocktail.
I don't have a favorite drink (okay, maybe a White Russian if someone really twists my arm - heavy cream, please) but my husband is pretty fond of a good Manhattan.
So, I made him one. It turned out nicely. And because I so rarely make them, I took a photo of it.
Now, I'm no mixologist, but I think this one turned out beautifully. And four months later, I'm letting you know about it. ♥
