Thrifting and Baby Artichokes

Friday I went to my favorite thrift store in search of some large pots for my garden. While I didn’t find what I went for, I did leave with all sorts of other goodies. The most exciting of which is this lamp. I had been eying something similar on Anthropologie’s website for a while, but [...]

Rain Gutter Garden

I am surprised I have the energy to get a post up tonight. If it hadn’t been almost a week since my last post I probably would have put it off another day. Today Russ and I finally got our balcony garden put together. We intended to do it last weekend, but Russ was terribly [...]

Sunday Market

Russ and I went out to the Hillcrest Farmer’s Market this morning. We weren’t out long, since it was incredibly windy, and Russ has been quite ill for the past three or four days. I was able to get some nice photos though, and buy some beautiful produce. Does anyone know what these flowers are? [...]

30 Minute Mozzarella

Last week I ordered the book Home Cheese Making as suggested from my brother, his wife, and the book I just finished reading. Yesterday I got the supplies in the mail that I needed for my first cheese making ventures. One being the citric acid, the other being vegetarian rennet. Until I started researching cheese [...]

Picnic in Coronado

I don’t really have a lot to post about right now. I have been outdoors enjoying the warm weather, and working on my little balcony garden a lot the past few days. I guess life has been a bit slow, which I am completely okay with. Yesterday I went with my friend Alison down to [...]

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

I didn’t get around to posting over the weekend because I have been stuck with my head in a book for the past few days. I also have put off all my house chores, so my apartment is looking quite unfortunate at the moment. Everything is a disaster, my bedroom has several layers of clothes [...]

Blogger Meet Up

Today was a nice day out. I got to meet up with one of my favorite vintage bloggers, Solanah of Vixen Vintage, who is down in Southern California on vacation. We tried getting together on her last visit to San Diego a few months back, but things didn’t quite work out. This time though we [...]

Veggie Muffaletta

I would not be able to post today if I hadn’t had this one ready to post. I edited the photos and wrote up the recipes last week after I made the sandwich, but somehow never got around to posting it. All morning and afternoon today I worked on painting this ridiculously big Italian Villa [...]

Queens of Vintage

Short post today, as I have a lot of catching up to do from my weekend. I just wanted to tell you all how excited I am to be named a Queen of Vintage! Click here to read the short article.

Mothers Day Gift

Last weekend I decided to try my hand at canning. My mom dabbled a bit in canning when we were growing up, but until recently it never even crossed my mind as something to do. I did some researching online and after buying a huge bag of mangoes last weekend for 20 cents a piece, [...]
