Pansies

I was hosting a wedding shower. My cabbages in my front clay pots were half dead. I went to Home Depot and bought beautiful pansies for $6.00. I halved them and put them in two pots. They have lasted a month!!! Yea!

Spring Wreath

I bought this wreath at an estate sale for $6.00. My favorite estate sales are in Rush (ritzy) and Tech Terrace (cool and artsy).

Aimee's Pillowcases

Aimee's pillowcases

When we were in Austin, Aimee wanted sheets, etc. with crocheted edges. They were pricey! I found two crocheted pillowcases at an estate sale for $5, tea dyed the crochet, cut off the crochet and a bit of the pillowcases, made pillowcases out of satin I already had, and sewed the crochet onto the pillowcases. Now I want some, too!

Martha Stewart wanna be

Chicken Salad (adapted from Martha Stewart)

I put chicken tenders on top of fresh parsley and onions. Over the tenders I added salt, pepper, and lemon juice. I baked it for 30 min at 375 degrees. The chicken had a wonderful flavor, even my husband said so! Yea! I added chopped apple, lettuce, green grapes, some chopped pecans, and a mixture of 1/2 light mayo and 1/2 light sour cream. Great and easy dinner, healthy, and pleasing to the hubby!
