Whatcha got cookin'?

I've never tried using these for actually baking anything,

but they call my kitchen china cabinet home.

I once saw an image of these animal casseroles

lined up along one of Martha Stewart's kitchen ledges,

but I couldn't find it for this post.

(i have stacks of those suckers)

I've had the rabbit for about twenty years.

I made him when ceramics were all the rage.

Did any of you get caught up in that?

Wow, the ceramic tchotchkes we had!

The duck and chicken I have found since then on flea market excursions.

Now, I'm trying to remember if this is the tablecloth that

I stole borrowed from my sister. (?)

But today I thought I'd pretend

I was cooking something yummy for the casserole.

Hmmm... Hey, I know!

How about a "chicken" casserole...

I'm not really into rabbit or duck.

This poor little 30's Metropolitan Life Cook Book

got a little wet once when my sunroom leaked.

They do have some yummy recipes.

Anyone for Scalloped Turnips?

I received some of my Grandmother's painted wooden utensils,

so now I'm on the lookout for white ones.

I adore this cutting block, but the flower basket is too sweet to ruin.

Milk glass Hoosier Cabinet Salt Shaker.

OK, these are my faux cat chewed carrots.

After all, we are just pretending to cook.

Wow, I really enjoyed that pretend dinner.

Look, no calories!

Hope you all are having a great week!

but I'm still hungry.

Pheona's Vintage Market Monthly Sale

Last weekend I was so busy talking, laughing, shopping,

and enjoying the sale, that I didn't take enough photos.

That ever happen to you?

Meet Shelly and Gretchen,

two great gals who are a real "dynamic duo".

They really have that "Vintage Garden Style"!

This is their space at a wonderful new

monthly sale I recently found,

Pheona's Vintage Market in Billings, Missouri.

Yes, I know...hard to believe that I was talking

so much that I didn't take enough photos...

but here are most of the gals

that are part of the market.

Sheila, on the far right is the owner

of this wonderful little turn of the century home

that has been converted to be the perfect spot

for a great monthly sale.

Pheona's Vintage Market

So if you live anywhere near Springfield,

save the date for the 2nd Saturday of each month,

and take a quaint trip to Billings.

Lots of great fleas and vintage goods in the area.

I have their blog on my blog roll,

be sure and visit for directions.

See y'all there, next month!

love,

Debra
