A bit of Rummaging, this and that

Happy Sweet Friday!! 
It's been wet, cold, and rainy here the last few days, but the weekend is suppose to be a little bit brighter. 
A week or so ago, my sister and I went to a church rummage sale. I was telling her those sometimes are just the best!! I found some of these pretty vintage earrings and brooch pins there.

I found this, I'm going to spray paint it, maybe a white creamy color 
(if it ever stops raining or being so windy outside! lol)
I thought it would be a good display for some jewelry, i'm still thinking some other ideas up for it too!
The front side is open.

Jill over at A Little Bit of Everything  sent me this vintage game, Probe!! She had found a few for her smash books and I had commented that I was on the look out for one, and had never seen one when I was out hunting. Well what do you know, she found one right away and sent it to me!! Thank you so much Jill! I sent her some yummy Cranberry Marmalade warmer tarts for her to enjoy! :) 

Luke came home just the other afternoon from work and said it smells like blueberry muffins, I told him I only made a warmer tart batch (and that I had tricked him...haha) .... since the muffins really did sound so good, we whipped out this delicious blueberry loaf! It was pretty tasty!! 

Here's the recipe:: 

2 1/2 cups Jiffy Mix
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup Milk
1 egg 
2 teaspoons melted shortening
2 cup blueberries

~Blend Jiffy, sugar, milk, egg, and shortening by hand. Fold in blueberries
~Grease 9x10 loaf pan
~Bake 375 degrees 40-50 min (I think I ended up cooking mine about 55 min)
*************************
It's not too sweet, and a little tartness comes out from the blueberries. (: 
And then the next day you can re heat it with some vanilla ice cream or put a little butter on top!! Yummy!


Wishing you all a lovely weekend!!

  3. Love all your finds. I must be tired and I need to go home because I read that Jill sent you an "invisible" game and I was like what? How do you play an invisible game. Yeah, leaving work now and heading home. I need some rest obviously!

  6. I have never heard of Probe but I will have to watch for it. I love old cards from games. I always love finding old jewelry, too. Church rummage sales are so much fun most of the time.

    Good luck finding lots of treasures! Hugs, Dianne
