Chill and Serve!

What's New In Your Garden?

While you're out treasure hunting for the day

looking for rustic gems for your yard, things you cannot live without, going for a scenic drive, meeting a friend for lunch.... you can have the recipe listed 
below in your crock pot!

I have been collecting primitive odds and ends for quite some time. The inside of my house is getting less cluttered - whew. But my gardens are being tucked with perennials, buckets,funnels, baskets & more!

Etsy and EBay along with perusing magazines have continued to feed my wild imagination.

see what I mean... it amazes me what's out there!

It's been a fun summer of collecting, planting and friends.

Is there something you're on the hunt for? 

What do you collect?

I'm looking for:

• a claw foot tub
• an enamel colander
• chicken feeders
• funnels
• money in the bank

Pulled Chicken Sandwiches: Place bone-in leg quarters in the crock pot and baste with your favorite barbecue sauce and add 1/2 cup of broth in the bottom of the crock pot. Cook on low for about four hours then shred chicken and allow to marinate for an additional hour in excess sauce. When shredding with a fork, do not overdo it as this will make your sandwich soggy in the end. To serve, scoop the meat on a sturdy roll and top as desired—try provolone, crisp lettuce, onions or coleslaw.

Come home, put comfy clothes on,

paper plates, an icy drink & dinner's ready!

Chill!

I PEERED THROUGH MY GARDEN GATE

Spring flowers blossoming

And I knew it was time to venture out

The weather was chilly and windy,

so I didn't travel as far as I'd have like.

I picked up some vintage jewelry,

2 ironstone pieces

a clay pot to tuck in my garden

Bits and pieces of vintage lace

Mismatched transferware

Great ephemera

Some picture frames, a funnel and a silly wire frog!

**I promise to post my real finds later this week!

OCD Girl and her many friends!

OMG! OCD!

Are you kidding me?

My dresser drawers are a disaster!

I have missing earrings,

missing earring backs,

missing this and thats.

I just weeded through all my old

Tupperware

and threw out the stuff

from 1973.

Harvest Gold, Orange,

Avocado & Brown.

Granny panties have

been replaced with Just My Size.

I bought new slippers, a robe and

nightgowns for my hospital stay...

major surgery - they barely let

you use the toilet, sip your tea and

you limp bent over to the front door!

Just threw out all the rags, sponges

dustcloths and toothbrushes I

knew I'd use for cleaning.

clutter clean crap ocd demented dirt

r u kidding me!

Miss Siegel, I know YOU understand!

I did it - I did it!!!

I promised myself I would unload, declutter, donate, discard and I did it, I did it! Well, a little...

My thought is - I didn't gather it in a day - I can't whisk it away in a day. But I have a donate box, a yard sale box, lots of trash is gone baby gone, friends have had benefits and I have 1 clean closet, organized Christmas boxes, 2 empty cabinet drawers and a desk that looks like a desk inside.
