A New Patina


I was curious what Etsy has to offer as far as advent calendars go, and here are some of my discoveries. All very crafty, but possibly a lot more amuzing then some of the plane ones that are out there. Or they might inspire you to make your own (not an easy venture).

Hope You Had Fun

I have left this blog hanging for almost a week because we've MOVED. I was going to post these clever little Halloween DIY ideas from Martha Stewart, but now you'll just have to tuck the ideas away for next year. And here is Jewell in her adorable bee costume ("bee" is one of her new favorite words).

I don't use my recipe books very often. It's just so much easier to use AllRecipes.com (especially since you can search by ingredients you have on hand...or don't have on hand). Here are some recipes that I've been wanting to try, but haven't yet. These would be great during the fall season! If you try any, let me know how it goes!
