This Hot Milk Sponge Cake is a 50 year old recipe that I got from one of my favorite vintage cookbooks–The Better Homes & Gardens New Cookbook (1969). It was easy to make and is really delicious! Since gluten doesn’t agree with me, I’m unable to enjoy a full slice however I did take a …
I bought a few new perfumes in the last few weeks that I felt a real connection with. I’ve always struggled with autumn and winter fragrances. I don’t typically love the heavily amber scents nor do I enjoy the overly sweet scents like Pink Sugar. I use that particular perfume as an example because I …
It’s a new day, it’s a new month and it’s a new beginning for me. I always feel this way after my annual trip to the oncologist–I had a successful appointment yesterday. Sometimes I find it challenging focusing on anything else except this appointment and after it’s over, I feel so much better. *Cheers to …
Truly I believe that things come into your life at the right time. I haven’t used Philosophy products in over 10 years but a couple weeks ago I was thinking about Philosophy’s Cinnamon Buns 3 in 1 shower gel. It’s a product that can be used as a shower gel, shampoo and bubble bath. I …
Hello Friends! It seems like lately I’ve been posting and talking about all things tea time related. Tea Time has become such an important and integral part of my day. Life can be so fast paced. My family and I have been so busy these days– so to sit down over tea & cookies and …
I’m so happy that my new dinnerware came–it’s a service for eight so I’m think I’m set. I’m on a no-buy for dishes until the end of the year due to lack of space but they may change so….stay tuned. How I hit the jackpot with finding these dishes and tea pot is beyond me. …
If you read my last post then you know I was super busy this past weekend searching away for some special items–as this is a time sensitive situation, I was super stressed that I wasn’t going to be able to pull this off but I hit the jackpot this past Saturday and found the exact …
Hello and Happy Fall to you! We are in the midst of a hot and humid day here so I’m hoping things will start to cool down now that it’s official Autumn. This weekend was a busy one! What started out with me shopping around for a red / pink transferware dishes turned into me …
Over the weekend my “new” brown transferware tea set came and I’m over the moon excited with it! With the weather getting cooler, I can’t wait to enjoy cooler crisp days and a hot cup of tea. It’s not everyday you find a vintage matching set for two! I fell in love with this set …
Bewitched is one of those shows that I watched as a child— it’s up there with 1960’s classics like the Brady Bunch, Family Affair and That Girl (I am currently watching them with my daughter and she loves them all–including Bewitched!). The fashions and style of the 1960’s are like no other and while watching …
