The Lovers of Valdaro.

Believed to be no older than twenty years of age when death occurred.
Over 5,000 years old.
Locked in an eternal embrace.

Tragically, their story is unknown.
Ironically, they were found in the city of Mantua. In Italy.
The city Shakespeare chose to set the story of Romeo & Juliet.

 i want to believe that love like this can still exist.

glittery clothes pins

 Face it clothes pins are dull and every housewives needs a little glitter in her life.   First gather the supplies, mod podge, glitter, hot glue (or some form of glue) magnets, newspaper, and clothes pins.

Then it’s simple. Apply the mod podge to the front of the clothes pins with a paint brush or even your finger. Pick the glitter color you want and sprinkle it on. Make sure to cover your work area so you can control where the glitter ends up. I always use newspaper especially the funny pages, I love to laugh at Dilbert and put glue on Catbert. Shake the excess glue off and put aside to dry. Do this to as many clothes pins as you want

After your glitzy clothes pins are dry, simply hot glue the magnets to the back of the clothes pins if you want to use them to hang things on the fridge. Or you could hang out your clothes in some serious style, go on I dare you. 



Button Push Pins

I love buttons especially animal buttons and vintage buttons. I purchased a bushel of buttons at a yard sale and could not wait to use them.


So what better way to make plain silver push pins look amazing! So I picked out some fun buttons and hot glued them to the push pin. Because I have so many buttons of different sizes I layered a smaller animal button on top of the larger main button. So it looked like this…


I can’t wait to display them all.

Rhubarb Crisp!

My husband Joe loves rhubarb, he even has tried to get it recognized as a fruit! Thanks to all of the wonderful weather the rhubarb is growing like weeds. Thank you Barbara for so willing sharing your score with us! 

Rhubarb Crisp:
Clean the rhubarb stocks and de-skin. (Do not eat the leaves they are poisonous!!)
Cut the stocks into small pieces you will need approximately 4 cups.
Place the pieces into a greased 9” round pan (I don’t have one so I just used an 8”x8” pan)
Sprinkle with 1/2 cup marshmallows (the mini marshmallows work the best)
Sprinkle with 1 cup sugar, and one half box of a large white cake mix (Betty Crocker of course).
Pour 1/2 cup melted butter over all.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
Let it set until it cools before cutting or else it will be too runny.


This recipe turned out to be delicious. It was also very easy and quick aside from cutting up the stocks. I am not a rhubarb fan but the cake mix and marshmallows made the rhubarb sweet and yummy. Overall this was a big success!

Yummy!
