Baking and Thrifting

I made 'Those Rolls' again. This time I used cheddar.


And I sat the uncooked rolls on pepperoni "saucers". It's just sandwich sized slices of pepperoni.


Julia Chow was ready to help.


"Come on mama....get moving and drop something on the floor." Pepperoni and cheese pushed this puppy to the edge.


"I will wait patiently for something to drop. I know you aren't that neat!"


"I know the good stuff is sitting right up there over the edge."


Mmmmm....


Make sure to pinch the ends so they don't open like this when they bake.


And there is the toasted disk of pepperoni. This was actually a big hit with the consumers, i.e., the family.


In case you haven't noticed, I have not been thrifting much recently. Having just cleaned out my garage and basement, it just did not seem right. I've decided to control my thrift shopping and only buy exactly what I need right at the moment. I want to frame some of my antique Halloween postcards and I needed a few frames. I found this pair for $7.95.


However, they were half off so they were an even better price. I always look for frames that include good matting. You can see that these have beveled edges and are double mattes. I'll show you the process when I do the framing.


I also found this very well made vintage glass lamp with a decent shade in perfect working condition. The price: $3.95!!! I'm going to have fun trimming this out.


Look at the detail on the glass. Sweet!


This Asian inspired lamp is in perfect condition and though it isn't vintage, it is rather old and in perfect shape. $4.95!


I really love this one. I am fixing these up for the Blog Tech to sell in his next garage sale.


This is vintage and in perfect shape. Restoration Hardware recently replicated these lamps and they are very expensive. This one works perfectly and has the original cord and it cost $4.95 but was also half off. What a steal! Look at the marble base.




I also found 6 sunflower garlands for $2.95!


I hung them around the potting table and sink area until I can replace them with the real thing!
