New Life for A Broken Rocking Chair
When I found this rocking chair last year at my in-laws flea market, it was in such bad shape that they were just going to throw it out. Thinking someone might want it, they priced it at $2. Needless to say, or great for me, it didn't sell.

Tea and Cherry "Light" Scones
I love scones, but I hate all of the calories. So I decided to find a way to make them with a lot less calories than my original version. This version can be adapted to add what ever fruit you like best.

Tabebuia or Trumpet Tree
What a lovely tree this is. Its full name is Tabebuia caraiba and grows from central Florida southward. In the spring it produces clusters of yellow trumpet flowers.

My Bouillon Fringe Foot Stool
It is my husband's annual golf outing with his brother, cousin and dad. Each year they come to Florida to golf. This year they decided to come to our house in Eustis. They golf and I cook. Well, it is not that bad since I like to cook and I get to garage sale while they are out. I came across this little stool at a garage sale. She was asking $5 but I got it for $2.50.

Bolognaise Pizza Bread
It is like deep dish pizza but has more filling. My family loves this and requests it often.
Island Mango Bread
If you have followed my blog, you know that I have several mango trees in my yard. Last year was a bumper crop. I had more mangoes than I knew what to do with. I made everything with mangoes. Finally, we decided after giving many away to freeze the rest. We cut them into chucks and froze them - all 40 quart bags of them. Yes, I had mangoes!
Well, I try to use them as much as possible from the freezer, but it seems like they are multiplying in there. Guess what - my trees are loaded again. So I have been trying new and familiar recipes. I found this one and made changes. I sent it to work with my husband for all of his employees. I have to do something here !! They loved it so I am sharing it with you.

Have you tried Bar Keepers Friend?
Have you ever seen a piece of silver or brass and thought, I like it but it is in bad shape. Well, all of the pieces that you see below were those kind of pieces(one is missing from this picture) - some more than others. I got all of them for $2 so I said, what the heck!
From Crappy to Adorable
Near the end of the sale, everything was half price. I kept walking pass this stool and finally said, why not. It was 50 cents. I also got a rocker for $1.00, you will see that in a later post.

Lemons Blossom Tea Time
Sometime you just want to sit and have some quite time. What better way to do that than to fix a cup of tea, (my favorite is Earl Grey), something sweet and sunshine. After I had made these lemon blossom cakes for my husband to take to work, I decided to sit and enjoy one of them. I wanted to make sure they were good, right?

Old window makes a great display!
My husband said, "this window is falling apart". He was kind of right. The one side was not so bad, but it was the other side that caught my eye. When I picked it up however, the paint and part of the window was coming off in my hands. For $1.00 I had to have it. I love old windows.

Yummy Key Lime Pie
Having a key lime tree could be the other reason for loving this pie. These trees produce hundreds of small key limes, which is necessary since it takes around 20-22 key limes to make one pie.

Crocheted Purse as a Vase
However, I did combine a vintage frame and a vintage crocheted purse into a vase so to speak. I found this frame at a yard sale just as is. They had painted it brown. I thought about repainting it but then decided to keep it for a while.

Red roses proclaim "I love you."
Red Roses Proclaim I Love You
They are the ultimate symbol of romantic love and enduring passion.
Florists say they can not keep enough roses in stock for Valentine's Day. In fact, it is estimated that about 2 billion dollars will be spent on flowers alone in 2013.

Valentine's Vignette
My husband says, "I can't let anything go to the land fill". Well, it really does bother me that so many items can be re-purposed and I am glad to do my part.

Baskets from the Junk Pile
We have bulk pickup here once a month, where you can put out almost anything. Sometimes you can find some good things. Our neighbor is moving and after having a garage sale, put many items out for bulk pickup. I hate to have items going to landfills when they could be re-purposed. I find it difficult to pass up good items. I found three planters, a picture frame, she gave me a hutch (needs a lot of work - will see it later), a bed frame(at another house), and a hugh clock face at another house. Great finds - what a week!First to be finished were the three planters. I have pictures of the two wicker types, but I don't know what happened to the third original picture.

Dollar Chair Make Over
Sometimes you find a piece of furniture that's a great price but you don't really need it. Then sometimes you find a piece of furniture that's a great price and you do NEED it. That's what happened to me.
Our other house north of Orlando, came with a dining room set. Nothing fancy but since I did 't want to buy a new one, we would make it work for now. Only problem was that it only had four chairs.
I wanted to find two chairs that would work with the set. They are rather simple, dark wood with black leather covered seats. Shouldn't be too hard to find something that works right?
