I was inspired this morning to skip my workout in favor of a leisurely treasure hunt at Salvation Army and Goodwill. I had a very successful day, finding all of this for less than $30… This adorable and practically brand new cotton blouse was only $2 at Goodwill! This vintage dress was only $4.99.

Mother’s Day Muffin Basket

May 11, 2009 By Sage 3 Comments

I spent Saturday afternoon listening to Joni Mitchell and baking Mother’s Day muffins for my mother in law. I made my jumbo blueberry muffins, individual coffeecakes, and mini loaves of cornbread. The coffeecakes were a bust because the streusel didn’t set properly. Still, it was a nice little basket of homemade goodies :)(I wish I’d… Continue Reading
