This is the best recipe for soft and chewy oatmeal cookies just like Grandma used to make! They're super easy to make too. Back when I was shamelessly showing off my enamel topped kitchen cabinet on my Antique Farmhouse Kitchen Cabinet post a few weeks ago, I had "staged" the photo with some oatmeal cookies....
Summer Home Tour Eclectic Style
As I mentioned in my A Vintage Eclectic Summer Vignette post, I have a little bit more summer home decor in the living room to show you. I know not everyone "decorates" their living room for every single holiday or season, but I like to add bits of summer into the house here and there....

Jadeite Green And Crabapples
Lucite Green is one of the 2015 Spring Pantone Colors. Normally, I don't care a whole lot about what's in and what's out. I have a deer head hanging in my living room and wood tone cabinets in my kitchen for gosh sake. But Lucite Green grabbed my attention. Why? I think it's just a...
Guide To Growing Lettuce In Containers
Growing lettuce is one of my favorite spring gardening projects. There's nothing like walking out your back door, ripping off a piece of lettuce, throwing it into a bowl and having lunch.
