<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Hello to anyone out there still checking my blog!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have been so out of the blogging loop the past few months. I have really been missing reading my favorite blogs everyday, but I completely immersed myself in school and family and there wasn't really time for much else...which I was rewarded for by getting a 4.0!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am so excited about my straight A's. It was my goal all along since this really was my easy term. Once fall starts I will be in high gear until I graduate next June, then I will be applying to medical school. OMG I have a year ahead of me with finishing up my degree and studying for the MCATs. I know I can do it though, it will just be a lot of work. I also have to continue some volunteer work and job shadow in there somewhere too. Oh and we have a Disneyland trip planned in September. We are going to be busy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But, this is my one week off of school before summer term starts so you know I have been changing things around the house! I moved my grocery sign into the living room and stacked my luggage. It really was just random but it is one of my favorite things going on right now. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Last fall I helped French Hen Debbie get her booth ready for the Christmas Open House and she gave me the brown suitcase as a thank you. It is a really pretty orange satin inside so I can't wait to have fun with it this fall. The turquoise luggage was left over in my mom's booth after her sale when she moved out, so I snagged it up and just waited for a fun spot to put it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I also did a fun project in the dining room the other night. I have really been wanting open shelves on the wall above my old chippy desk and I finally made it happen without buying a single thing. I love when projects turn out like that : ) I will try to share pictures of that soon as well as the farmhouse dining table Tim and I built on Mother's Day out of my old barn wood stack. </span></div>

It is called The Bronson Pinchot Project. He is famous for his many acting roles, but has been collecting antiques and salvaged building materials for years and is now renovating 19th century houses in Hartford, PA. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Below he is sitting in front of a Greek Revival that he is renovating. He uses all salvaged materials, and leaves them as is! He uses the term "crusty" to describe the chipping paint so that right there makes him my bff. He pretty much despises anything new, and even goes as far as to hide kitchen appliances behind architectural work so that the kitchens look authentic to their era.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img height="266" src="http://www.channelguidemagblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Bronson-Pinchot_11.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Are you not just completely smitten by his work? I absolutely love it all. His show plays on the DIY network and I also found it on demand. The only problem now is that you will stay up all night watching every single episode. He has me itching to go buy an old farmhouse : )</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Have a lovely week!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

I have been seeing these naturally dyed eggs everywhere over the past few months. They can be colored using fruit and vegetable juices, spices and teas. To me they are so much more beautiful than the more traditional dyed eggs because the colors are lighter. I highly doubt that I will have time to try these out since school starts on Monday (yes I will finally be a backpack toting twenty something college student!), so I thought I would share links to a couple tutorials.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Aren't they so gorgeous, and you can use foods and spices that you have around the house, plus you are not using those pesky dye packets.

It was so much fun to enjoy two snowy days in a row. My kiddos had so much fun playing outside. Days like these make me so happy that they have such great snow gear: )</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I smiled to myself this morning as I opened up the dishwasher and saw this sweet sight. The entire top shelf was filled with mugs from yesterday's hot chocolates. My sister in law and her four girls came over and spent the day with us. It involved much bundling in snow bibs, cleaning melted snow off of the floor, and sipping cocoa. And repeat, several times. Days like that I will remember forever.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(pretty sure I am the only freak out there that can come up with a story based solely on a picture of a dishwasher rack but whatevs :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today I finally got around to trying out a homemade air freshener that I pinned on Pinterest. I was dying to try it but I kept forgetting to buy lemons at the grocery store. I braved the inches of snow in my husband's slippers (sorry they are all wet tonight love!) and grabbed myself some rosemary from the back yard, added a sliced lemon, two teaspoons of vanilla and simmered it on the stove all day. I had really high hopes for this concoction but I am sad to report that it let me down. The kitchen smelled a bit like rosemary but other than that I couldn't smell anything. (My little boy just told his daddy that mommy cooked melons today and made the house smell like raw eggs. Need I say more?)</span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One good thing came from all of the trees that were knocked down by the snow. Awesome for me, not so awesome for the poor people who lost their beautiful pink trees. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As soon as I saw them all laying in the road last night I knew I had to make some of them mine. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A special someone brought a truckload home today for me. Wasn't that so sweet? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So that pretty much sums up my snow days. I did leave out however, doing loads of puked, peed, and pooped laundry. I thought I would spare you...it has been a regular bodily function factory over here this week : )</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tomorrow I am officially moving out of my space at the antique mall. I am feeling a little bit sad about it. It has been a fun little side project but I am not sure I can keep up with such a big space while I am in school. (Which by the way starts in a week and a half.) I have started biting my fingernails again. Apparently I am nervous about it. I will try to post whenever I do anything exciting or fun around the house if I can though. Have a great weekend...thanks for reading!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

It is always so inspiring to shop there. I absolutely love the mix of new and old they display. There were so many things that I fell in love with, but I really felt drawn to this vintage ticking stripe shower curtain.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

I decided to face my fear of the treadmill and just get on it and see how far I could go. I started out just running for five minutes and have since worked up to 2 1/2 miles. I always want to quit at about minute 4, but I make myself do it and I cannot even explain how much better I have been feeling. It makes me feel so much healthier physically, but it also makes me smile because I am accomplishing a goal that I have set for myself : )</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

I have been spending much of my free time getting things ready to start school next term. I am officially registered in four classes. I haven't been in college for six years! Where the heck did the time go and why did I wait so long to go back and finish? I have been agonizing over these questions for the past few weeks after a bit of a frustrating appointment with my academic advisor. I left that meeting questioning everything that I thought I knew I wanted to do with the rest of my scholastic life. Talk about a change of plans. Although it didn't go as I expected, I am confident that I am now on the right path, and I am excited to get myself prepared for nursing school : ) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That being said, I am very sad to announce that I am moving out of my space at the antique mall. Everything is on sale, so if there is anything you have been wanting now is the time to go get it. I will miss it so so much, but I know that I won't be able to handle being a full time student, mommy and my sewing and furniture projects. Some people can manage it all, I am not one of those people.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Me too!!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am embarrassed to admit this, but before today I had never been to any of The Vintage Roost shows.

An entire year later and my wreath is still hanging (it has been moved about a dozen times though)</span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And tonight it happened...that crazy little girl climbed out of her crib for the first time (only after emptying the contents of the top drawers of her dresser).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have decided that I am finally going to take the plunge and finish my last three terms and get my degree already. I could already have had my PhD by now if I had actually been going to school all the years I have put it off!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Before I start back, I really would love to get my bedroom looking presentable. Many months ago I fell in love with the blue staircase wall on the Modern Family set. So wad'ya do when you love a color on a TV set? Put it in your bedroom like I did? No waaaaaay! I love it on their walls, not mine: )</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It has taught me a very valuable lesson though. I can love a color I see on TV or in someone elses house, but just because I like the color doesn't necessarily mean that it will mesh with my style. I am really not sure what I was thinking. All I can do now is try to find another color that will coordinate with my style, and lighten things up a bit: )</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkTZ368SxyYnRJdFNzsoE-YXbKJmrRWDP7cdev5WkTZ_p1t4IDutPNjiG7cQKw1sRX-u5YRqvXW1M7QOqCbBfbW4AaCKitwvViJP8myUVYpqPuWxT3NzGZdx79KlUDDkZ_ct1HpZxBwf0/s400/mf+2-7.jpg" width="400" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I do, however have a couple of design dilemmas to deal with. I have a very old farmhouse dresser that belonged to my grandmother. It is a gorgeous dresser but has some truly hideous hardware on it. I have to find some pulls that are a bit more me, and then try to incorporate the dresser into my room somewhere. It is a big mamma jamma but I can't part with it so this a must: )</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Pinned Image" height="400" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/126100858286107180_updhYb8A_c.jpg" width="347" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I also plan to use a sweet white metal bed frame that belongs to one of my friends. It happens to just be sitting on the side of her house just begging me to bring it home. On my next IKEA trip (next month!!!) I hope to buy a lamp very similar to the one below. There are many expensive versions floating around out there, but I believe the IKEA version is only $39. I love its vintagy quality (yes that's a word!!!). It is also reminiscent of the PB look which I love too, and I think it will fit right in with all of my funky stuff. There we go, I just talked myself into it: )</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I still can't find just the right inspiration picture for my room. I want it to be light and airy and simple. Hmmmm...not sure I can accomplish this. Wish me luck!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> XOXO</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">{Brittany}</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">PS. I am off to sew some linen heart pillows and a ruffled tote for a special someone. Melissa!

I have been wanting to make some simple, understated Valentine's signs. I found these old crate sides out in my garage (I am a hoarder for real) and I thought they might be cute to use for the occasion.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Before I could stop myself, I had already started painting the border on this one. The jury is still out, I can't decide if I love it better than the one without the border. Either way, it is a nice alternative to the traditional VDay decor out there. </span></div><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">With this wacky weather we have had I feel like I am in a major uninspired funk. I am forcing myself out of it though. Well really the pile of furniture in my garage is forcing me out of it. I have a dresser, a buffet, and a cabinet to paint. I am also excited to start making slipcovers for the pile of chairs I have collected. It is overwhelming to sit and think about it all, but I just need to get my arse in gear and get it done.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

When the sun comes out, I get the urge to clean and rearrange. I think it may have something to do with the fact that the sunlight exposes every single speck of dust and dog hair and filthy window, but I could be wrong : ) I really should have been doing so many other things today, but I just got to it and tore into my house.<br />
<br />
First I found a place for the new jar my mother in law gave me for Christmas. That led into swapping my farm house desk and dresser from the dining room. Then I decided to try my luck at completely moving my husband's desk. Then I brought in a sweet little antique cabinet that I had out in my garage. I worked on it all on and off for a few hours but eventually got it all done and I am very happy with how it turned out.<br />
<br />
This was what it looked after all of the Christmas was packed up and I had just moved around a few little things.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is that same corner after I moved the dresser over. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it in the living room but I really love it next to the couch. I love white just as much as the next gal but I have to have a little bit of wood every now and again ; ) I love the height it adds on that side of the room. It is different in scale than what you would usually see beside a couch so I think that is fun. I like quirky.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">We had a wonderful Christmas. It was busy but great.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I took in a couple new things that I am really excited about. First, this white bead board medicine cabinet. I debated keeping it once I got it done but who the heck am I kidding? I have zero space to keep anything.

On another note, this is so random but I came across this old picture today as I was deleting some very old pictures off of my camera. I never thought much of it before, but today I fell in love with it. This is a shot of me and my sweet boy right after his baby sister was born. Someone was just about ready to hand her to us to hold for the first time together. It really was the last time that it was just him and me, before the chaos of the new baby ensued. Who knew she would turn out so busy and silly and demanding? I just thought I would share it.</span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I know that all this great rust is the reason it was so bargain priced, but it is what makes me love it so. I am not a gal that is into pristine antiques. I love the rusty chippy stuff : )</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And here is my favorite find in a long time, this sweet little cottage pink scale. I am not even going to say how many scales I currently own, but it should be a crime-seriously. Put me in the slammer now.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh and one side note-We are now into day four with the white slip covered couch and the soiling has already begun. That dear sweet friend that I spent the day with today brought my kids a bag of red licorice. Little Reese managed to get red spots on three of the cushions (part from the licorice, the other spots were from pomegranate seeds). I totally freaked out (and cursed your name Penny) but wait, there is a point to my story so stay with me. I sprayed all of the spots with my homemade laundry soap and let it soak for a few minutes before throwing them into the washer. I am in shock, but every single spot came clean! That laundry soap is seriously the best I have ever used. I guess I can relax a bit about the white couch now...now that I know I can get anything out of those white cushions : )</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I started my Etsy shop. I have been dragging my feet a bit because it is hard for me to open myself up to judgement. What if no one likes my listings, what if my items aren't as good as everyone else's? I had to put those feelings aside and just go for it. I have to say that I am happy about doing it : )</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These bags have been a hit lately.

My plan was to decorate my space at the antique mall in pink for Christmas, but when the time came, I couldn't actually part with the pink ornaments. I just fell in love with them and decided to decorate my house in pink this year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On Black Friday I wasn't one of those crazies out fighting with the masses for bargains. I was at home just giddy about decorating my pink Christmas. I got the tree all done and was not totally loving it. I mean, how could you go wrong with pretty white lights and shiny pink bulbs but there was just a little something missing in the texture department. My policy for most projects is that I have to find a solution in house. It forces me to be thrifty <i>and</i> creative. Light bulb moment...popcorn garlands will do the trick!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYYHrIHLMPuRJl3StI_N7wrpfy9T3KgUCE5K-Ni9Q5gjywQXmrWxfB26Nz-K2WPJlEx7Jmukw7EaLjfgghnnEHK58GyeWfJbrRbHweBsgmPvU03FqqB5vmHXfiL8s_keRndA3xW4Ti_aB/s1600/xmas+041.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYYHrIHLMPuRJl3StI_N7wrpfy9T3KgUCE5K-Ni9Q5gjywQXmrWxfB26Nz-K2WPJlEx7Jmukw7EaLjfgghnnEHK58GyeWfJbrRbHweBsgmPvU03FqqB5vmHXfiL8s_keRndA3xW4Ti_aB/s320/xmas+041.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I popped white popcorn kernels the old fashioned way on the stove (without oil) and used white crochet thread and a large needle that I had buried in a drawer. It was a simple albeit messy process. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Just poke through the popcorn and slide it to the end of the knotted thread. I made two 8' garlands for my tree and it still could use another one, but that my friends is a project for another day. Slowly but surely your garlands will fill up and you are left with an adorable little diy garland perfect for <i>any</i> tree: )</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I finally got the white slip covered couch from my mama yesterday and I sure love it. I still have to do an alteration to the base of the slip cover but I am making it work for now. No need to ask...you know I will be sharing pictures of my new goody soon. I hope you are now good and inspired to tear into holiday decorating...so go pop some corn and get stringing ; )</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Nighty Night, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I had forgotten about them since then, but being the compulsive diy-er that I am, I decided to try my luck at making a batch or two. I originally found this recipe on Pinterest. I literally just copied and pasted the recipe and photos from the Sparkling Ink website, but to see the original post click<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"> <a href="http://www.sparklingink.com/2010/03/homemade-marshmallows.html" target="_blank">here.</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Marshmallows4-web" src="http://entertaininganytime.typepad.com/.a/6a00e554f57a7a883401310ffa2b4d970c-400wi" /></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">Ingredients</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">- 3 tablespoons gelatin powder</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">- 1/2 + 1/2 cup (1.25 + 1.25 dl) cold water</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">- 2 cups sugar (5 dl) sugar</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">- 1/2 cup (1.25 dl) light corn syrup</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">- 1/4 teaspoon salt</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">- 2 egg whites</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">- oil and confectioner's sugar for the dish</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">- confectioner's sugar for dusting</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;"></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">For this recipe, you'll need a food thermometer and around 13 x 9 inch (33 x 22 cm) rectangular dish. I used a ceramic oven dish, but a deep metal pan works just as well. Firstly, it is good to remember that there are differences between different type of gelatins, but I don't see any reason why gelatin sheets couldn't work for this recipe too. Just follow the instruction on the package. One gelatin sheet usually equals one teaspoon gelatin powder.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">Brush the bottom and sides of the dish lightly with oil and dust with confectioner's sugar. In a metal bowl, combine gelatin powder and 1/2 cup cold water. Let stand to soften.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">In a pot, combine 1/2 cup cold water, sugar, corn syrup and salt. On low heat, stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves using a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula . Turn the heat up to medium, and bring it to a boil. Without stirring, let the mixture simmer until it reaches 240 F (115 C) by the thermometer. This took about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour the sugar mixture on top of the gelatin, and stir until the gelatin is dissolved.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on high speed for around 8-10 minutes until white, fluffy and almost tripled in size. In a separate bowl with cleaned beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Spoon the egg whites into the bowl of marshmallow fluff, add vanilla (or your choice of flavoring) and beat just until smooth and combined. Pour the mixture into the oiled and sugared dish, and sift confectioner's sugar generously on top.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">Allow the marshmallows to set for at least 3 hours in room temperature. Remove from the dish and cut into rough cubes using a sharp chef's knife. Instead of back and forth movement, just press down with the knife. This way the knife won't get stuck, and the cubes will spring back up. Sift confectioner's sugar on a plate, and toss the cubes in the sugar on all sides. Shake off the excess sugar and pack the marshmallows in an air-tight container, layers divided with parchment paper. Store in cool room temperature up to a week.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Marshmallows-web" src="http://entertaininganytime.typepad.com/.a/6a00e554f57a7a88340133ec541ed4970b-400wi" /></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;">It really wasn't bad, but I would like to add my 2 cents and take the guess work out for anyone else who tries this. Don't freak out like I did when you smell the gelatin mixture and think something went terribly wrong. Yes, it is normal, and no you cannot taste it once all is said and done. Also, if you are also a rookie like me, you will not really know where to look for powdered gelatin. I found it on the baking aisle in a tiny little box under all of the flavored Jellos. The box said gelatine I believe, and it had 4 packets inside. All four of the packets roughly equals the 3 Tbsp the recipe calls for so don't waste your time measuring it all out. And lastly, if you have never whipped egg whites, it will take about 3-4 minutes of beating on high to attain the "stiff peaks" necessary for a successful batch of mallows. Other than that, the recipe does look a bit scary but I can assure you it isn't. It just looks that way because of all of the steps.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><br />

For anyone interested, the sale will be on Friday and Saturday @ 315 Twister St. NE, in Albany. I am not sure on exact times but it will be advertised in the Democrat-Herald so you can look there if you like. I will also update as soon as I find out. Among other hand crafted items, I will be selling my marshmallows.

I cleaned the house and then sewed into the wee hours of the morning. I had a sweat shop going on in here, but it felt so great to get so much done. (It also felt great to sleep through the night without having to retrieve a pacifier in pitch dark and then to sleep in until 9:30 but that is a different story.)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As some of you may know, my birthday was actually on Veteran's Day. I felt so spoiled all day, from the minute I woke up until the second I laid my head down on my pillow. I spent the entire day with family, so it was extra special, and I even managed to squeeze in a few minutes to browse the new shabby store here in town. I left the store empty handed, but I am regretting not buying a sweet little white stool that was only $12. I know, I know, I should have just bought it.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">With November in full swing, I have really been itching to start decorating my house for Christmas. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It all started with these adorable pink shiny brite ornaments. I originally bought them for the tree in my booth, but I just couldn't bare the thought of selling them off one by one. It just wasn't worth it to me. So, unbeknownst to my husband, we will be having a very pink Christmas tree this year. And if my ruffled linen tree skirt doesn't sell, I might be nabbing that as well to go under the tree.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A few months back I got the fall Pottery Barn Kids catalog in the mail. Everything in any PB catalog is always gorgeous and amazing and of course i fell in love with a certain cupcake costume. There was only one problem. It was $65 smackeroos, and made completely out of felt.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I spent $5 on felt when it was on sale at the fabric store (and maybe used half of it) so I consider this a $2.50 costume really. I just looked at the picture in the catalog and made it up as I went along. It took me a couple hours and I think turned out pretty well considering </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">a) I made it </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">b) It only cost a couple of dollars</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tonight was the Christmas Open House at the antique mall as well as most other businesses downtown. Last night I felt like I was in a winter wonderland with Christmas music cranked up and people everywhere unpacking boxes of snowy and glittery goodness. I will admit though, until that point I had a very difficult time getting into the Christmas spirit. For months I have been collecting pictures and ideas for projects and displays for the holidays, but have really been lacking the umph to get things done. Despite that, I did manage to infuse a bit of Christmas cheer into my space.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
