How do you make your smoothies?

      Okay, so, how do I make my smoothies?

This is how.

                                                     

 

                                               
                                                   First I take out my old, trusty, glass blender

  Wash and cut up  12 medium, ripe strawberries

                                                      
       Don't you just love summer time when strawberries are in season?  I freeze my         
strawberries,  bananas and blueberries ect. so I can have them when I'm in the mood for smoothies. This is why your seeing brown bananas, oh, and I like to let my bananas go brown before I freeze them in a baggy with there peals still on. Just not if your going to peal and eat one. lol

     Next step add one ripe pealed banana, chopped up with cut up strawberries place in blender. Blend until smooth. Don't over blend!!!

Add four -five scoops of vanilla ice cream (or you can add yogurt) to blender and blend altogether. Don't over blend!!!       

 Yuuuummmy!!!!! Enjoy

So, how do you make your smoothies? Warning!!!   These can become addictive

Do you hate to sale your items that you buy for resale? But, know that is why you have a booth? My husband is good at reminding me by saying  "isn't that why you bought it  in the first place" and "don't you have enough stuff of your own"?

French style clock. Paint this or leave it alone?

                           What would you do paint this frenchy looking clock or leave it alone?

                    This has raised details and would look great painted with some light staining

                                                Look even the sides and back has raised details

 Well, let me know what you think paint or not to paint? Oh, did I mention that I only paid 1 dollar for this lovely little clock!!!

Just a few new Salvation Army and garage sale finds.

Got this large, almost 24in. tall, beauty for a cool 2 dollars...sweet. It is made of some kind of metal with great details and patina.

                                          Love this clock...maybe painting it cream and age it a bit.
                                         

Some books from a church sale 3dollars a bag full

                Great covers and lettering. These will look fabulous on a book shelf with some decor. items.

Coffee Stains...its a good thing.

Coffee grounds, one Ivy plant, a large white urn and whalllaa. What do you have?

Out of stain, so I got creative by using my husband's coffee grounds.  I forget to take a picture of the all white urn before the staining began...oops. Just rubbed the coffee grounds into the sides of the urn and let set. for 20 min. and rinse off lightly. Don't over rub or it will be to light of stain.

                                                           I think it turned out pretty good.

Hellooooo, is anybody out there?

Almost ever  time I try to comment on a blog site...I have to resign in on google, soooo I do and it just keeps on asking for me to sign in again. What the blogger is happening????? Helllllp Decor. Lady

What is it? It is a butter press mold.

            Below, is some butter presses that I found on line for sale. They are very similar to the one I bought at a garage sale some weeks ago for a $1.00. The ones below sale for $10.00 and up on ebay and Amazon, but, this is the first time I had ever seen one let alone known what it was. They come in glass, wood, metal and clay. Great for decorating in a kitchen vignette.  Do you have one? Let me know and send me some pictures of them.          
                                         

             I just love the carved wood ones best, can you imagine buying your butter this way from the store. In the 30s and before butter was sold like this and the  fancier the molded butter, the more expensive it was. Now we just buy it plain and in cubes of four in a pack. 

                        I love this rooster butter press
