CONSTANTLY VINTAGE

Hearts

2012-01-19T07:13:00.000-08:00

A few sneak peaks of some embellished hearts I've been working on. I started the project by cutting hearts out of a vintage linen, sewing them together, and adding in the stuffing. Now the fun part adding vintage lace, flowers, beads, and buttons. Perfect project for a snowy day!

Snowy Days

2012-01-19T06:38:00.000-08:00

It is a winter wonderland here this week! We usually don't get a lot of snow that sticks around. The week started out with small amounts of snow. Then Tuesday we got 7 inches of snow, and yesterday 4 inches. At times it was like a blizzard. It is simply beautiful! But now later today there is freezing rain in the forecast as the temperature starts to warm. Gotta love snowy days...maybe we'll build another snowman. Stay warm!

Happy New Year!

2012-01-01T07:50:00.000-08:00

Welcome 2012! This is a collage I made and it makes me think of the new year ahead. Wishing you all the best in 2012!

Sparkle

2011-12-18T07:36:00.000-08:00

Today I'm hoping to finish up some projects...my desk is full of sparkle from sprinkling glitter on projects. Phew, it's going to make me sneeze! Also on my list is to bake some Christmas cookies today. Enjoy your day!

Snowy Snowmen

2011-12-11T05:56:00.001-08:00

Snowmen galore! This snowman above I found at the Nest & Garden Christmas Open House. The sweetest snowman ever, he has a little nest on top of his silver snowy hat. The Nest & Garden ladies are so creative...re-using all sorts of items for the bases, hats, arms etc.

Short and small snowmen!

A tall skinny and sparkly snowman!

A chunky snowman with a vintage flower frog for the base. A little prickly, but a fun idea!

Thanksgiving sweets

2011-12-11T05:52:00.000-08:00

Fall Kale

2011-10-08T08:04:00.000-07:00

A couple of weeks ago I bought a fall planter at a school fundraiser. It is filled with pansies and fall kale plants. The kale plants are all so different, and are full of such beautiful colors...thought I would share them with you. Have a great fall weekend!

A New Twist on Carving

2011-10-07T13:05:00.000-07:00

At the grocery store today I found these green gray squash. They are called Blue Kuri Squash. The color is amazing! They are pumpkin shaped, and I think they would be perfect for the carving idea below. The eye ball candies I found at the grocery store too.

These carving ideas came from the latest issue of Martha Stewart. I'm making a yummy mac and cheese recipe in there too. My girls requested it...perfect for a rainy fall day! Happy autumn day!

Halloween Cat and Spider

2011-09-30T17:00:00.000-07:00

Halloween House

2011-09-28T08:09:00.001-07:00

Received this sweet Halloween house from Lorraine in the Speckled Egg Petite Inspiration Swap. I adore how she decorated the house...it is awesome! She even punched holes and sent a little tea light to turn on so the light could flicker through the holes. Inside the house, she tucked in all kinds of fun Halloween treasures. Thank you, Lorraine!

You are my Sunshine...

2011-09-24T21:49:00.000-07:00

In late spring I had a variety of sunflower seeds in many different packets that I wanted to use up, so I planted them around in my flower beds. Many of them came up and are blooming right now. They brighten up the yard, and make me think of sunshine.

Last of the Roses

2011-09-24T21:37:00.000-07:00

Sorry...I haven't posted anything in such a long time. It has been super busy here. I can't believe September is coming to an end next week. Onward to October...I'm looking forward to baking, trip to the pumpkin farm, picking out pumpkins, cider, decorating and fall colors. We've had a really nice and warm September, so tomatoes are ripening. Sunflowers are blooming. I just picked a bouquet of roses today, probably the last of them until next summer.

Glass Beach

2011-08-27T20:06:00.000-07:00

We discovered this little beach while visiting Kauai. In some areas the sand was shades of black, and there was washed beach glass everywhere you walked. It was amazing!

Even found a heart shaped rock which is the color of the sand in Kauai!

Salt Pond Beach

2011-08-13T07:16:00.000-07:00

Phew, it has been a while since I posted last. We're just back from the Island of Kauai. It was such a relaxing time. Simply beautiful island! I'll have to share more photos soon :)

Incredible sunsets just off the Beach House Restaurant.

Vintage Flower Collage

2011-07-17T09:18:00.000-07:00

I've been working on this vintage flower collage for Frieda in our RR group. She likes vintage fabrics, beads, flowers and stitching. I was able to use some vintage fabric I've had that is a beautiful floral print. Added in some beads, stitching and images. Happy vintage flowers!

Guemes Island

2011-07-17T09:12:00.000-07:00

I think we've turned into island people. First Whidbey Island, and now Guemes Island. Guemes Island is a 5 minute ferry ride from Anacortes. It is absolutely gorgeous and very relaxing. A great place to walk on the beach, read a book and have an afternoon barbeque.

I {heart} the beach!

Easter Egg Radishes

2011-07-17T09:09:00.000-07:00

We pulled up a colorful bunch of radishes yesterday. Fun colorful veggies for a summer salad!

Pizza on the BBQ

2011-07-13T20:27:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we decided to try a grilled pizza on the BBQ. I followed the recipe and directions from Serena @ The Farms Chicks. We tried pepperoni and cheese; garlic chicken, pesto, red onion and cheese; veggies and feta cheese; pepperoni and mushroom. They were all delicious!

4th of July

2011-07-08T21:35:00.000-07:00

We spent the 4th over on Whidbey Island. It was a great time...fresh crab, shrimp and bbq salmon. Great time with friends and family!

Beach toes!

New Collage

2011-06-29T21:16:00.000-07:00

I love waking up in the morning to the birds singing. I've been working on this 4 x 4 collage for Debby in our round robin group. I like this quote..."if you can't teach me to fly, teach me to sing..."

Favorite Bowls

2011-06-26T22:04:00.000-07:00

I was looking through Anthropology, and these bowls I'm adding to my wish list.
My favorite bowls.

Oriental Poppies

2011-06-23T22:30:00.000-07:00

I have a few oriental poppies in my garden. This is one of my favorite...beautiful pale peach color.

Then when they are done blooming...this velvet purple pod is left. Such a beautiful color too!

Peonies

2011-06-21T06:10:00.000-07:00

Happy first day of summer! It looks like it is going to be a sunny one here. My peonies and poppies are blooming. I wish the peony and poppy flowers would last longer. I did pick these peonies when they were just in bud stage, and put them in a vase. They opened gradually. This peony is one of my favorites.

Kiwi-Watermelon Salsa

2011-06-20T06:02:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting to try this recipe for a long time. Now that watermelons are in the stores, we made it to go with our little Father's Day BBQ. Served it up with some tortilla chips. Love the combination of watermelon and kiwi...cilantro and lime juice...very yummy low fat snack!! A great alternative to the traditional tomato salsa.

1 cup diced peeled kiwi (about 2 large or 3 small)
1 cup diced watermelon
1/3 c. finely chopped red onion
1 T. finely chopped cilantro
2 t. minced seeded jalapeno chile pepper
(wear gloves when handling)
2 t. lime juice
pinch of salt, or more to taste

In a medium glass or plastic mixing bowl, gently stir together the kiwi, watermelon, onion, cilantro and jalapeno until well combined. Add the juice and salt and stir to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

2011-06-18T16:41:00.000-07:00

It's a drizzly day today, so some baking is in order.
With all the rain then sunshine, our rhubarb plant is growing like crazy.
We're making one of our favorites:
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie...yum.
Love the sweet and tart flavors!
Have a great father's day weekend!

All you need is...

2011-06-18T06:27:00.000-07:00

At school yesterday afternoon, the 3rd grade class got to make chalk drawings on the playground. There were friendship and science, but I spotted "love". Couldn't help but take a photo.

Bloom!

2011-06-17T20:14:00.000-07:00

Ahh, June 17, it was a sunny summer day, and the last day of elementary school for our youngest! It was sad to say goodbye to amazing teachers, friends and kids of a school we have been so involved in. Now she is off to middle school. I know she will bloom in life. Now, we can enjoy the summer to the fullest. Ahh, bring on the summer days!

Red Checked Apron

Time to cook!
I'll share more soon :)

Wild Things Are Growing...

2011-06-13T06:18:00.000-07:00

We have 2 large raised beds in our backyard. Each year we change up the veggies we grow. So this year we have 2 purple artichokes growing. I've tried to grow them before with no success, but this year they are growing like crazy.

I love having fresh chives in our garden. Even the flowers are a wonderful color to have in any garden.

This little fuzzy flower is Borage. It is an herb, and has edible flowers. We've been adding them to our fresh salads. Makes a beautiful change for a salad.

Many types of lettuces growing...

The sugar snap peas are blooming. Can't wait to eat the fresh peas right out of the garden.

Cool Purple sprouting broccoli leaves. Way inside of these leaves there is a purple broccoli head forming.

These little greens spice up any salad. Just cut them off and add on top of your salad.

Beautiful Beach Day

2011-06-12T06:55:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Phew, it is a busy time of the year. With the last week of school upon us, let the events begin. We had a class party out at the beach yesterday. It turned out to be a beautiful beach day!

Quick Fruit Salad

2011-05-14T06:56:00.000-07:00

I've been craving a fruit salad. I sliced up some strawberries, kiwi and banana, then tossed in a few blueberries. Very good! I can't wait for fresh fruit this summer :)

2011-05-14T06:54:00.000-07:00

Wishing you a wonderful weekend! I hope to do a little planting in our garden if it doesn't rain. Enjoy!

2011-05-01T09:29:00.000-07:00

It was a gorgeous sunny day yesterday. It was so nice to be out in the sun, and enjoy the lush green.

Pages from Trinka

2011-04-26T22:30:00.000-07:00

I received these fabulous pages from Trinka. I like the idea of how she used an old library book card from the front of a discarded book, the sweet chlidren she added in and little details here and there. Thanks Trinka!

Easter Baskets

Easter Decorating

2011-04-17T06:30:00.000-07:00

Easter is next Sunday. Wow, I'm just starting to decorate and plan. I did pick up some salt water taffy. Great pastel colors and yummy flavors! Candy is good. I found this sweet fuzzy chick to put on top.

Spring time at the nursery

2011-04-16T07:30:00.000-07:00

A few hours at the nursery enjoying the spring flowers...

Chick Jello Mold

2011-04-13T07:57:00.000-07:00

I've had a bag full of these cute jello molds for a long time. I found this cute one at Ruffles and Rust in Snohomish. What a great way to put these jello molds to use!

Home Tweet Home

2011-03-23T06:41:00.000-07:00

I have noticed many birds coming around. They are busy singing sweet songs and working hard on building their homes. I saw these twigs sticking out of this birdhouse in our backyard and had to take a quick photo. I'm glad they moved it. This is one of my favorite quotes:

Leaf Stone

2011-03-23T06:33:00.000-07:00

My sister made me this leaf stone. I've been holding on to it all winter, anxiously awaiting spring so I could put it outside. I was trying to figure out if I should just put it on the ground, or set it up on something. I thought it might stand out more if I could set it on something. I found this green planter in my backyard, turned it over, and set the leaf up on it. Now it's like a small bird bath.

Spring Flower

2011-03-23T06:27:00.000-07:00

Spring flowers are my favorite. This year I've been enjoying taking photos of them. This is a crocus. We had a strong hail storm the other day, and this crocus was knocked to the ground. I brought it inside, put it in a vase and it opened right up.

I {heart} Spring

2011-03-19T20:03:00.000-07:00

We enjoyed our last day of winter with fabulous sunshine and blue skies with temperatures in the 50s. It felt so good to be outside in the sunshine. Tomorrow is the first day of SPRING! Enjoy your day!

I love spring!!

Grow Girl Grow

2011-03-14T16:44:00.000-07:00

We've been starting to plan what we are going to plant this year in the garden. I started a few seeds inside to give them a little head start. They'll probably go outside around May or later. Except lettuces and cooler veggies I could probably put outside earlier. I've been using these long, narrow starting stations for seedlings, kinda plain, huh. Then I discovered an idea of using food containers (below) as planters for veggie plants. A great way to recycle and reuse. They look great on the windowsill too.

I found this "Grow Great Grub" book. It is full of fun and creative garden ideas, growing, harvesting, cooking and preserving veggies.

A few of the tomato varieties we are starting inside. Some heirlooms we haven't tried before.

Trying purple peacock broccoli, yellow wax peppers and sweet cherry peppers. We tried the sweet cherry peppers last year, and they were outstanding.

Sweet peas are a must for any garden spot :) So fragrant, and make beautiful bouquets for your table.

More spring and vintage ideas. Enjoy,

Japan

2011-03-13T09:28:00.000-07:00

Our hearts and prayers go out to the people and nation of Japan. There have been many horrific events in the last couple of days. Keep them in your prayers.

I put together a spring centerpiece with a bird nest and one of the flea market boxes I received in Heather's box swap. I love to display bird nests for spring. I'm in a bird nest and vintage bird collage swap, which I can't wait to get started on. It is very rainy and cool, so today would be a great day to start. Enjoy your Sunday,

Beautiful Area

2011-03-12T14:39:00.000-08:00

A recent trip to Port Angeles. A couple photos of the beautiful sunrise on a cold and clear morning. Such spectacular views!

On the way up to Hurricane Ridge such beautiful scenery, blue skies and fluffy clouds. Then at the top with these amazing snow covered trees and thick clouds. It was a winter wonderland up there.

It was a gorgeous place. We enjoyed it!

Box Swap

2011-03-08T20:19:00.000-08:00

I've been working on these boxes for Heather's (Speckled Egg) flea market swap. I decided to use neutral colors, whites, cream and tan, with ribbon flowers, ribbon, lace and fabric. I hope they like!

Waiting for Spring...

2011-03-07T17:59:00.000-08:00

Alright, enough about the snow and cold winter. I'm ready to SPRING!! How about you? We went to the nursery over the weekend, and found this BEAUTIFUL flower to brighten up our kitchen table. Ahh, there is a little bit of spring in our kitchen.

I forgot to mention the name of this flower. It is a Obconica Primula. It likes to be in a bright location, avoiding direct hot sunlight. Water thoroughly, allowing soil to become dry to touch between water applications. Do not let stand in excess water. Cooler locations will extend flower life. Pinch off flowers as they fade.

Happy Monday to you! Enjoy,

Building Snowmen

2011-03-06T18:57:00.000-08:00

Phew, we had lots of snow the last week of February. It was so beautiful and fun! We spent several afternoons building snowmen and playing in the snow. We love to make snowmen, adding colorful scarves, fun glasses, eyes, carrot noses and hats. It is such a treat for us since we rarely get snow. After a four days of snow, then the freezing temperatures came. Brrrr!

Cupid's socks and shoes

2011-02-17T21:19:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday Mini-Cupcake Donuts

2011-02-17T16:06:00.000-08:00

A while ago I was reading through Serena's blog (The Farm Chicks), when I found a post about mini-cupcake donuts. I love to bake, so checked out where I could find a mini-cupcake donut pan. The pan makes 12 donuts. We used a white cupcake batter, and the glaze list on Serena's blog. Decorated with some sweet sprinkles, and they were a hit! We made up a little plate for a sweet friend's birthday. They also made fun treats for Valentine's Day.

Spring Flowers

2011-02-12T07:59:00.000-08:00

Valentines

2011-02-12T07:53:00.000-08:00

I'm so glad it is the weekend! I'm doing some catching up on projects and some baking with my sweet girls. We found this fun mini doughnut pan...fun for valentine sweet treats! I was in a vintage valentine swap, and finished this heart project last week. I used neutral colors, lace, ribbon and buttons. I received a BEAUTIFUL valentine heart in the mail that I need to share. I'll take a photo today and share it with you. More to come...have a delightful weekend...hope you have fun plans!

Dreamy pages

2011-02-06T12:18:00.000-08:00

Just finished up Caryl's dreamy pages for her round robin journal.
Love these dream quotes I found.

Pike Place

2011-01-24T06:24:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite places. We went on a school field trip to Pike Place Market. Turns out when we got there, we started our scavenger hunt. Our first stop was The Crumpet Shop. We enjoyed delicious crumpets and tea.

Next, we checked out the sites...gorgeous flowers, and found "Bill Gates III" name on the floor tiles.

And even found the chewing gum "art" wall.

Found the Pike Place Fish Shop...and found a pig.

Then to Beecher's Cheese...they make the best homemade mac and cheese.

Ahhh, It was a fabulous day...I can't wait to go back again. Happy Monday!!

More turquoise...

2011-01-09T08:26:00.000-08:00

With the start of a new year, and all of our Christmas decorations tucked away for another year, it makes me want to start fresh with decorating. A fresh coat of paint...a new color.
Maybe a sea glass color. Happy Sunday to you!

Grandma's Attic

2011-01-05T17:51:00.000-08:00

Beautiful Mitten

2010-12-22T17:16:00.000-08:00

I received this BEAUTIFUL mitten in a swap I was recently in. Isn't it gorgeous? Love that it is creamy white colors so I can keep it out during the winter season as well as Christmas. It has a sweet little silver glittery key hanging with a ribbon and a beautiful ribbon flower. I've got to learn how to make ribbon flowers. Thank you, Michelle, for the merry mitten...I adore it!

Wishing you a very merry merry merry Christmas with loved ones! Enjoy, Connie

White and Green

2010-12-21T20:11:00.000-08:00

I've been decorating with lots of evergreens this year. Even decorated under our covered deck, added them in a bird bath and planters. I love to add in white pansies with the evergreens too.
Happy Tuesday to you!

Jar of Vintage Christmas

2010-12-19T18:28:00.000-08:00

A few more small vintage Christmas balls. I love finding these, and displaying them in this jar. Each one is so colorful! Now back to finishing up addressing my Christmas cards.

Snowman, bling tree and frosted winter cones

2010-12-17T19:38:00.000-08:00

This snowman is my favorite. He is full of sparkle, glitter and has a great top hat. All of the glitter goes great with our bling tree. I found these frosted winter cones from Julie. They are one of my favorites too! Enjoy your weekend!

10 days before Christmas-No Way!

2010-12-15T05:17:00.000-08:00

Hello there! It has been a while since I've been here...yikes. We've been enjoying piano and guitar recitals, basketball tournaments, soccer games, celebrating birthdays and getting ready for the holidays.
I've been working on this little tree in a jar decoration. This isn't a great photo as we've dark, gray skies here lately so this photo is a little dark. But I added in mica and glitter to the little tree with a small red ball on top.

This yummy cheesecake my husband and girls baked up. I'm so glad they like to bake cheesecake :)

One of our recitals was at a little old red church, and it had this sign on the front. Loved the message, colors and writing style.

Been doing some decorating...love the sparkle and color of these vintage ornaments.

I recently bought a pattern (at Hutch Studio) for this little house. I'm going make a couple more and put them on my window ledge with a tea light. Great for the holiday season. Home Sweet Home!

Boxes, Mitten & Cocoa

2010-11-27T19:54:00.000-08:00

I adore vintage hat boxes. Ok, polka dots too! And especially red and turquoise together. Turns out to be a fun stack of boxes.

Finished up my mitten, added a few small touches, with a little tag as well...ready to be mailed.

And enjoy a mug of Peppermint Hot Cocoa too! Yum!

Cozy Day!

Brrrr, chilly day today! We're staying cozy here. I just adore this cozy little snowy house.

I've been working on this mitten for a swap I'm in. I really like the color. I need to fill it with 12 little packages. Then mail it off.

Venice Pages

A couple of pages I've been working for Frieda's Venice Book. I really like the bright colors. I hope she enjoys them.

Snowy Day

2010-11-23T15:59:00.001-08:00

Wow, we had a wild snow storm yesterday and ended up with 5 inches. Then the temperature dropped down to 9 degrees and turned everything to ice. Beautiful, but brrrrr!

Sweet little footprints in the snow on my deck. Tweet! I must fill my bird feeder.

My sister and I went to the Ruffles and Rust show...it was fabulous. I got a few photos, as my camera battery died, while there...darn! Ruffles and Rust was very fun!

Bewitched

Our fall weather is definitely here...brrrr! Later today I'm hoping to bake up some pumpkin bars or an apple pie, or perhaps pumpkin and blueberry bread...yummm!
