The Coop

The Coop Antiques in Oviedo is one of my favorite antique malls in central Florida, but from the outside it doesn't look like much. Inside the store offers over 11,000 square feet of antiques from 60 different dealers.

This store has more smalls that any shop I've seen, but there are also plenty of primitive and vintage home decor pieces, many of which you can't find at other malls. I love the unusual variety of offerings, too -- on this trip I spotted a cranberry bog scoop in another section. I've only read about them in books.

There's a booth devoted to military collectibles, including old uniforms and accessories.

My favorite booth at The Coop is this one; the dealer offers pieces of real feedsack along with bags of vintage scraps.

Since I'm letting myself (cautiously) shop again I bought three pieces of feedsack and three bags of scraps. If you're ever in the area, and you like antiques, I highly recommend The Coop.

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.

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.

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.
