Garden Vignettes

Garden Vignettes need to be based in.
Here our bushes had winter kill and we are replacing
this area with an newly acquired antique water pump, wash tubs and cast iron garden bench.

Do you have antique water pump envy?
some of you do, I know it.

This is just outside my sunroom, I want it to be
colorful, faces south, needs sunloving plants.


Look what I found hidden in a drawer in the garage.
Mr. almost horder lives here and I must protect him
from his hording disease so we can live here.
I'll stay vigilant looking for his stashes
and pass them on to you.

That's great customer service?

Just agree and I'll bring more!

On warm 86 degree weather sunny days
be caught curled up with a book


If these colors don't suit you, there's a
gray one out there...so I have heard!


It's still going to be fun to see who ends up with
the vintage bobbing set of flamingo's!

SHE patterned her life around Naturalistic millinery and industrial rustique

Vintage notions, antique wooden slats clothes dryer,
antique coal irons, sad irons, metal laundry baskets and clothes hangers for decorating,
galvanized washtubs, standing wooden clothes wringer, wooden ironing boards, rusty ironing board, a pink and flamingo clothes hampers, wooden clothes pins, more crinkly ribbons, vintage handmade linens and pillows,
plus we have replaced some sold furniture spaces with
some more vintage pieces...come see!

Joni's been creating vintage inspired handmades
for sometime for this theme
 your in for a treat to be impressed and inspired
as I always feel when she creates.

It's worth the trip just for her mercantile goods!

He gives... I take, alot, usually... BUT this time

5 minutes on a tropical island

Here is a refreshing green smoothie...
spinach, kiwi, pear
and coconut juice with lime.
(fresh strawberries is a nice addition too)

Time out...

Palm trees swaying...ahhh

Trying new things to add for liquids in smoothie,
many times I use water
and other times almond milk.

Thinking I need to put on some sunglasses

Flax Oil 
now goes into the green smoothies.
(getting use to drinking GREEN)

Essential fatty acids are unsaturated Omega 3 which our diets need to be supplied. EFA's regulate blood pressure,
clotting, heart rate, repaire cells membranes and eliminate waste. Balance hormones and fight depression and anxiety

Coconut Oil
a good fat the body uses to produce energy.
Medium-chain fatty acids are necessary for pretty hair and skin and enhances the immune system with nutrients. It supplies quick energy  as they are metabolized in the liver like carbs and not stored as belly fat.

You can use on your face and body, makes a good hair conditioner too.

 Your skin is like a giant mouth
 be careful what you feed it.

It's for cooking too, you can have 1-4 TBS per day.

Uke music in the distance...
 think it's Blue Hawaii & little grass shack.

feet in warm salty sand
Blue skies.

if only... for 5 mins.

Shout Out...20 lbs. loss and Mr. Roses 25!

EZEKIEL 4:9

Take also unto thee Wheat and Barley and beans and lentils and millet and spelt. And combine them all in one vessel and make bread of it.



Ezekiel bread is flourless, it is all sprouted
grains which releases ENZYNES from the grains making it much more nutritious. 
It is a live food.
(sprouted grains and nuts means live food)

IT'S INGREDIENTS ARE ORGANIC
MEANING THE SEEDS HAVE NOT BEEN
MODIFIED/changed FOR GROWING.

You'll find this bread in a freezer section of Harmons or
a health food store refrigerator. They also make good
tortilla shells, guilt free!

note...
When a bread says "wheat flour"...that means it is white flour.
What I look for is WHOLE WHEAT flour.
We also use Great Harvest bread
it has honey which is sweeter and more moist.

The shop is now loaded up with vintage rustique!

Read from our blog list the New Century Collector blog
Dennis had some things to say about our Rusty stuff!

Come get your new copy of the New Century collector
for shopping vintage in Utah/Idaho
