Sweet Treats

And who said they had to be fattening??

This yummy goodness is brought to you from a recent shopping trip..

Vintage Seam binding, old buttons, rick rack, and buttons,and belt buckles from a shop in Ducanville, Texas..add some old pearl chain from a recent Etsy purchase from Canada and you have a well rounded plate...

We made our mix while we were doing all this shopping...Snarky remarks, jabs and jibs..laughs and fun all mixed well with some ideas thrown in..what better treats than that?

Starbucks? Maybe??

This Red White and Blue cover was on the cups on Tuesday..

Then a Chai with a snazzy orange cover was had the next day for a treat..

So, enjoy your treats, whether they be food or not and if you had fun, then that's just icing on the proverbial cake!

Don't forget to share the word about our Paper Cowgirl Altered Art retreat in June!

Chili Weather

BBBbbbBBBBbRRRRrrr..it's rather cool in this area the last couple of days..so, I thought I'd make a pot of chili..if you don't make chili and pour it out of a can, alls I can say to you is : Shame on YOU...this is some good stuff:

Don't let the name fool you..you can season it as hot or as not as you like..sometimes, I add the red pepper, sometimes I just wave the package over the pot and tell hub I did add it...This makes a nice sized pot and will feed us a few meals.. enchiladas, chili buns, Frito pie,(Frito pie can be a whole entry..football games and funny stories about out of state neighbors not knowing about it), abigoldbowl of red topped with cheese and sour cream,chopped onions or even chili fries..you can bet we are having a couple of these in the next few days..So, if you hunny is feeling frigid, run to the store for Wick Flower's chili kit and some ground meat and whip out a big pot and get busy, you'll warm him up in no time...

We've used this for years, I grew up on this 2 alarm..my dad used to make up a pot of it on cold Saturdays..One time back in the late 80's I wrote them a letter about how much we've used this and such..they sent me back a nice thank you letter and a TON of coupons..needless to say we didn't have to buy any kits for quite awhile..I'm tellin' ya, this is some good stuff...

Now back to decorating the Shop Shack..

Happy Tuesday!
