Vintage Coat

I found a wonderful vintage

Pendleton coat at a sale yesterday.

It fits me perfectly, the color is fabulous

and the lining is like brand new. 

I'm not sure what year it is but I do know I got 

an excellent deal on it as I saw a vintage 60's

Pendleton Dress in a magazine for over $200

and I paid under $50 for this.

 

It was a happy find :)

Review

These were just okay,

I'm not sure how they would be 

with regular flour, but  with the GF flour I used 

they were too bland. I did add some salt to the recipe 

now though so that may help.

If I made them again I would 

make them with a different GF flour mixture.
Biscotti are a more bland cookie though because they are 

really for dunking with coffee or tea, and that's what 

I will do with these.

One good thing about not being able to speak 

is that I do get a few things done!

Used Sketch 135 from The Scrappiest

Just glad to be feeling back to myself again:)
