The Best Dress

While cleaning out our master bedroom closet I discovered I don't own a dress to wear for special occasions (all of my old dresses were too big for me, so I donated them long ago). I'm not a dress person, actually, but since we're socializing more these days I thought I should invest in at least one. Found this one, which looked pretty and was new with tags, so I put in the minimum bid and won it with no challengers.

The dress arrived in beautiful condition; I know it was never worn. There was still protective plastic on the belt buckle.

The tags say it sold for $74.00. I paid $9.99. Savings: $64.01.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
