A Spicy New Neighbor !

Y'all know I work @ Rooney Robison Antiques in Southend, right?

I'm the blogger girl there, and couldn't resist reposting this!

Please help us welcome our new Southend merchant to the neighborhood!

The Savory Spice Shop has moved into our old stomping ground, Atherton Mill, and will be hosting their GRAND OPENING this Saturday, January 21.

There will be cooking demonstrations, savory tastings, grab bags

and gift box drawings!

Assorted Silver flatware, Silver Plated Serving Spoon $110

8pc Lazy Susan $225

During the holiday season, 

we were smitten with the assortment of spices!

Whether our customers were buying sugar sifters, 

salt shakers or serving dishes,

we suggested a trip to The Savory Spice Shop to embellish their gift.

Set of 8 Sterling Individual Salt & Pepper Shakers $275

We still think it's a great idea!

With Valentine's Day right around the corner,

think PINK and "gimme some sugar."

We'll help you select the perfect gift and no doubt 

send you down the street to SPICE IT UP!

French Sardine Plate $275, Assorted Bistro Staffordshire (Priced Individually)

Set of 6 Silver Oyster Forks $250, Assorted Oyster Plates $65-$235

We can't say enough about their excellent customer service

and would like to thank them for being so helpful with 

our customers that we sent on a spice hunt!

YOU'VE BEEN CRUSHED BY YOUR NEW 'HOOD!

All Day To Bake . . .

I wish I had baking on my to-do list.

It's not my best category.

But if I had all day to bake,

I'd make these itty bitty cakes and I'd

make felted ornaments to go on each one

when I wrapped them in fun holiday boxes for my people.

Maybe if I start in January, by next year I can pull this off.

I've saved this recipe from Tartelette in my Pinterest

Just in case you find yourself

with some extra time!

Someone's In The Kitchen . . .

I adore this...would love it if you could order a custom rolling pin!

Mine would have a bee of course, 

and I'd be rolling more than dough trying to leaving my mark in everything,

...but this one's pretty special...

Tonight, there was a feast of eye candy 

teasing me on my computer screen.

I clicked over to 

~ Knit-Purl ~

to try and decide what to knit next,

and I could not get 

~ Ilva Beretta's Photography ~

out of my head. Every skein I clicked on 

reminded me of one of her photographs.

I have a thing for kid mohair right now, 

so I think I've narrowed it down to the 

~ Shibui Knits Silk Cloud ~

(3, 7, 9, 10)

or one of the 

~ Beaded ArtYarn Luxury Yarns ~

(4, 5)

Which would you choose and help

me pick a color! I'm leaning toward

picture No. 7 & 10 and thinking cables...

Ilva Beretta, Swedish born and now calls Tuscany her home, is known for her passion for food and photography. Where better to get the best of both. She made me hungry and dying to go to Italy. Please visit her ~ site ~ and see the collection of photographs...you'll wanna go out to lunch today, but you'll be glad you took the time to visit!

Is There a Law In Charlotte . . .

...against Urban Coops?

Or am I going to have to move to

Waxhaw?

~ Andreas ~ here has built

some pretty cute ~ cribs ~ for the chicks!

Check out ~ Chicken Cribs ~ for

fresh eggs in your own back yard or if

it's against the law, just call Len and order a 

~ Diva Mama Chicken Pie! ~

There's no "Pot" in her pies and no eggs either, 

but they're guaranteed to make you 

fill better about cookin' dinner!

(and eatin' it!)
