Super Easy (and Delicious!) Pickle Recipe

My sister and I have both been making these tasty refrigerator pickles lately, and decided to share the recipe with you! She also designed these adorable labels. Just print them onto sticker paper, cut them out & slap 'em on your jars.
We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
P.S. I especially love them dipped in homemade ranch dressing. :)

Giveaway Winner

The randomly drawn winner of the sewing calendar is...

April Kennedy

Yay, April! I will get your calendar to you ASAP.

Thanks so much to everyone who entered! If you are interested in purchasing the calendar when it is available on Amazon.com I believe it will retail for around $14. There are some very cute projects from a lot of my favorite bloggers.

New Favorite Spot

After this platform bed frame had been sitting here for months waiting for me to finally spend the money on foam to make a giant cushion, the decision was made to check the camping section at Walmart for something suitable. An $11 aerobed and $3 sheet later and we have my new favorite spot in the house.



Now to convince someone that this is not in fact a giant dog bed...

Hmmm... The resemblances here can't be denied...

For Sale: Blythe dolly

Hey, there! After much thought, I have decided to part with my pretty little doll and offer her up to a home where she will receive more attention than I can give her right now.

She is a stardancer, but has had her hair dyed (by her previous owner) and had a gentle face customization by frankie*darling. I fell in love with her because her hair looks like mine. Narcissism at its finest!



I am asking $275 for the doll and all of her accessories (including shipping). The accessories she comes with are:
*black converse sneakers
*red converse sneakers
*adorable handmade black mary jane shoes
*one vintage green, pink & white dress
*one blue dress
*one ADORABLE hooded coat
*one pair of jeans
*beanie crocheted by me
*small pink sweater handknit by a local old lady and purchased by me not so much because the sweater was cute, but the lady was adorable
*a few hangers
*white tulip dining table and two chairs (one pink, one green)
*Re-Ments miniatures teacups and plates (from Fairy Tale Set #5)
*anything else i find that belongs to her!



SOLD--THANK YOU!
XOXO
