saturday morning special

The girls are having a big dinner tonight, so they just needed a light breakfast today.
We mixed up some cottage cheese, yogurt, added a splash of safflower oil & apple cider vinegar.
Easy, yummy and healthy!


I love to store the oil & vinegar in fun recycled bottles and containers...

Do your dogs like the comforts of a bed, pillow and blanket?
Meena & Heidi like all of the above.

We have a small collection of vintage quilts for the humans in our house, and I'm always on the lookout for more. Well last week I found this adorable little vintage quilt in the "baby" section of my local thrift store. Since it didn't have baby themed fabrics, I decided it would be perfect for Heidi.

Tonight I finally got it cleaned. Here it is fresh from the dryer, nice and toasty warm for Heidi. I think she likes it.

pyrex

As we are getting settled in, I'm noticing what a cool collection of vintage Pyrex bowls are in Mee & Dee's kitchen. Pyrex bowls are the best! They have many uses, are durable, easy to clean, are stackable and easy to store. Great for a small spaces. Also, by reusing old items we aren't being wasteful. It's one of the little ways we are trying to help to save the planet.

they make great water bowls...

these little round casserole dishes are perfect for storing frozen patties...

we use the square pyrex for storing patties and for our doggy casserole recipes...



Maybe you have been lucky enough to inherit some Pyrex pieces. If not don't despair, there are a lot available on Etsy. Just try a search for "vintage pyrex" and you will see all sorts of cool styles and colors. We sometimes have some available in our vintage shop, click here to check it out.

Here are a few available at the moment on etsy...
