Holiday Open House

Rusty Glamour is having an

Open House

this coming Friday evening

and Sat all day.

I've been busy getting ready

and having to think about

Christmas a little earlier

than I ever do!

Here's a few items

that will be for sale...

 Pocket Advent Calendar

 Tree Skirt

Stockings

New Space

I have moved to a new space

at Rusty Glamour.

It's actually right next door to

where I was before and is just a tad

bigger.

I covered the walls in muslin strips

and added my new sign

and the same banners...

I'm loving it!

 

Down on the Farm

It's that time of year!

Pumpkin Patch Time



A Country Drive

Today I needed to go and renew my

spirit and revive joy in my heart.

Nature always does that for me

 because it speaks so clearly of

The Creator.

 I did a loop in the car with my camera

down the country roads east of town

 Driving slowly and letting the spendor

of this fall day

ease away the worries and sadness

I can't see what is around the next bend

in the road, but if I watch carefully

I will catch a glimpse of the

One who goes before me...

 

I returned with

a quietness in my soul.

Upcycled Sweat shirt

I found a sweatshirt my son

no longer wanted and realized it

was really soft and comfy.

There was also another shirt in the

giveaway bin I thought I could use.

From these 2 shirts, fabric from my stash

and some zippers I got at a yard sale

 I created this...

the best feature was one I didn't plan.

 When I sewed the zipper trim on the cuffs

 it made a ruffle:)

 

 

 



Gluten Free Tea Experience

This week I had an enjoyable experience

going with a group of ladies for tea

at Myrtles Tea Shop in Ridgefield.

The best part was that with 48 hour notice

they can accomodate special

dietary needs so I was able,

for the first time in 5 years, go for

tea and have it be gluten free!

They did a marvelous presentation

of the food and all the GF items were

very good.

 I would highly recommend the shop!

Gluten Free Fall Baking

 Spice cookies w/ Pumpkin Kisses
Spice Blossom Cookies

 

 

 Cinnamon Rolls
 

Caramel Apple Cake
chunky caramel apple cake

 

 

All 3 were good in their own way

and as with most things GF they are

best when fresh.

I modified regular recipes

for the cake and cookies
(see links)

and tried a recipe from a friend for the

cinnamon rolls.

Boo!

Here's a super easy project I did

with some blocks of wood

I bought at a garage sale,

painted, and mod podged.

The runner was for sale at RG.

 



Greek Gyros

This was a great, light meal

and though I had to have mine on rice

not a pita bread, it was a hit with

my son who said it was "delicioso"

I'm linking up with Aimee

at

 

 I started by marinating the chicken tenders

in Kens Greek salad dressing.

I fried the onions but

they are really supposed to be raw.

The chicken can be grilled or cooked in hot fry pan

 

Tzatziki Sauce

1/2c. cucumber grated

1 tsp. sea salt

1 c. plain Greek yogurt

1/4 c. sour cream

1 T. lemon juice

1/2 T. rice vinegar

1 tsp. olive oil

1 clove garlic

1 T. chopped dill

1 T. chives chopped

1 T. Mrs. Dash Lemon seasoning

salt and pepper to taste

 

Toss cucumber with salt and let sit

at least 5 mins. Squeeze out excess water.

Mix all ingred. together and refrigerate

at least 1 hour to blend flavors.

 

Warm Pita bread in microwave or on grill.

Layer hummus, chicken, onions,

 olives, lettuce, tomatoes,

Feta cheese and Tzatziki sauce.

Fold pita in half or roll up.

Enjoy!



New Sign for my Space

My space at Rusty Glamour

has had a sign up

with Polka-dots & Posies

as the name, however,

as that was really the name for

my kids clothes business

(which I don't sell there) 

I decided to use my blog

name as my new business name.

I used a piece of wood, painted and aged it

then added some embellishments

and the name.

I really love how it turned out and

it seems to have the essence of what

I sell and who I am:)
