http://www.alivingspace.com/2014/04/the-nifty-thrifty-odd-egg.html
The Nifty Thrifty: An Odd Egg. Another slow couple weeks of thrifting out here, but I picked up a few interesting finds this week to share. Part of the reason I've been too busy to thrift is I've been working more, since I got a part-time job at Fig. The awesome store that carries my antlers and ornaments! Haha) I finally joined the 21st century and got an iPhone (my first smartphone, yay! And I've been using my new little device to start posting on our long ignored Instagram. We have found that estate s...

Our silly old lives: Yummy Lentil Soup
http://oursillyoldlives.blogspot.com/2013/03/yummy-lentil-soup.html
Our silly old lives. It's just us. Silly people. Sunday, March 24, 2013. This recipe has been a staple in our house for the last few years. Typically I make a giant batch in the fall (harvest) season so I can use up fresh veggies from the garden and freeze them in usable form. Usually in the large recipe I substitute some grains in place of some of the lentils to provide different nutrients and different texture. 1 onion, chopped. 1/4 c olive oil. 2 carrots, diced. 2 stalks celery, chopped. 10 min before...

Our silly old lives: Chick Pea Love
http://oursillyoldlives.blogspot.com/2013/11/chick-pea-love.html
Our silly old lives. It's just us. Silly people. Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Advent is another vegan season for us. And as I get older the more I fall in love with "ethnic" foods. Such as Arabic, Indian and Mexican. There are many varieties in the spices that we don't have in American food and the more I eat it, the more it becomes comfort food. These are some staples with the traditional Chick Pea that are our favorites. I canned 14 pints of chick peas. 3 cans garbanzo beans. 2 1/2 Tbs lemon juice.

http://www.alivingspace.com/2014/06/the-nifty-thrifty-horses-and-flowers.html
The Nifty Thrifty: Horses and Flowers. I meant to do this post last night, but then we started watching the new season of Orange is the New Black, and post-writing totally slipped my mind until we finally went to bed five episodes later. at 1:30am! We picked up just a few vintage bits these past few weeks, and I think they're all pretty fun finds:. I don't know if I've mentioned this trip before, but it's our official honeymoon, since we only had a couple days after our wedding. Anyone else been to Indon...

Sunday, December 15, 2013. Thrift Report: Holiday Treasures. I'm sorry for the virtual blog silence lately.this holiday season has been kicking my. I've been sick almost nonstop since early November - finally getting over The Plague of 2013, I think - and have been running nonstop between work obligations and packing and shipping things for the shop. Consequently, I've cut way back on the thrifting. I haven't stopped completely, of course (you know me too well for that! I pick up these 60s era Chinoiseri...
