so what’s going on?

Like most people, I’ve been knocked out by the winter blahs, eagerly anticipating summer. Tomorrow I’m planning to start some seedlings indoors in hopes of having homegrown peppers and squash to toss on my grill this summer. I’ve been making many efforts to clean house by bringing all sorts of things to my local consignment store and by actually using what I already have in lieu of buying more (fabric and food). Right now I:
Am putting a dent in my fabric collection by making aprons and market bags.

Love trawling for vintage state souvenir tablecloths on ebay.

Am finally bringing out and using my beloved Fiesta ware.

Am in love with a set of Pyrex mixing bowls that belonged to my grandmother.

Needless to say, I’m being content with and gladly using what I have and preferring old over new. It makes my life green and that makes me happy.

The acoustics are amazing, not to mention the glow that bounces off the natural wood and illuminates the beams. Tiffany and other types of milk-glass lighting are ideal in this type of building.
