Countdown Until Lucketts!

I have mentioned before how grateful I am that I live between two wonderful places to get vintage home decor - Chartreuse & co. and Lucketts Vintage Market. Both are within 15 minutes of my home!

Every year Lucketts holds a Spring Market. They will be having it this year on May 6th, 7th and 8th! Say, isn't that Mother's Day weekend? Perfect!

Easter Ham!

Baked two 7.5 lb hams today for my husband's side of the family. This morning I was checking the net for a good glaze recipe and hit the nail right on the head with this one. allrecipes.com/Recipe/Annettes-Great-Ham-Glaze/Detail.aspx

This recipe made a delish glaze! I didn't have any gold rum on hand, but I did have the exact amount I needed in Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum. It was so yummy that the little amount that was left, I saved in a tiny Ball jar for my hubby's ham leftovers. Even Egan, my pseudo-vegetarian did his midwestern papa proud by eating three helpings of glazed ham!

It's been a long weekend and I am bone tired! Good night!

SAH-WEET Duvet Cover!

When we moved into our home 5+ years ago, my sweet little Momma purchased the bedding for our then new Ethan Allen bed. I really wanted all white bedding, but we had two black labs that we couldn't deny bed access to.

The Love Machine napping on said bed Trying to be wise about the dirt aspect, I settled with a solid taupe/beige colored quilt and matching sheets. Now we have a black and an unfixed chocolate lab and the same bedding is riddled with stains. Lesson learned? Better to go with white! I could have bleached those stains out! Now I am looking at various bedding and I spotted this duvet cover from Anthropologie:Isn't she a beauty? All that runched material costs, though. $208 just for the cover. So I went online to see if I could find a tutorial. Bingo! (Google never lets me down) Sweetie Pie Bakery: Anthropologie Cirrus Duvet::Tutorial This looks like a possible summer/fall project for this year. Keep an eye out!
