Flameware & Mocha Cupcakes

Warning: This post is slightly random and very picture-heavy. You've been warned.

So this morning I woke up at 7am (on a Saturday!) to go to garage sales, an estate sale, and an auction with my daddy-o.

The auction promised vintage pyrex, but I didn't see any until...


WOAH FLAMEWARE. And yes, that orange box is a BRAND NEW teapot. And for $12, my brand new teapot!


For another $12 I scored this double boiler and saucepan.


Randomly, at another garage sale, my mom found the 6-cup percolator for 50 cents! It's missing the stem, but still a great price! (The 4-cup I already had!)


Just when I was beginning to lose faith in all garage sales, I found these gems for $5:


I've been wanting a set of Pyrex canisters for awhile now, but all I could seem to find was the vegetable print, which isn't really my style. I love this print though! (Anyone know what it's called?) 

Now, off the topic of Pyrex...

Father's day is right around the corner. What do you get a dad who has everything he wants? Oh, that's right. Cupcakes!


For my coffee-obsessed dad, mocha cupcakes - made with love. Oh, and lots and lots of sugar.


It's like heaven in the form of cake.


And now as I unwind from my day on my patio, watching the evening storm roll in...

Look how big my celosia is growing! I'm so proud it's still alive. (My thumb is not green at all.)


And my amigo-mix coxcomb is thriving, too!


Cheers! Happy Saturday, everyone!

What I Left Behind

I find myself walking away from quite a bit, it seems. Want to see?


This golden acorn divided dish just didn't scream to me. Plus it was $4.99, with no lid. Ehh.


I'm afraid to say I think this butterfly gold print is one of my least favorites - sad, huh? Again, no lid, and $4.99 on this gal as well. 


I'm kind of regretting not getting this little cross-stitching. How adorable is it?! $.99, too. I'm not quite sure why I turned it down, either. Boo on me.

However, I did score a sweet complete Pyrex percolator for $5!


Eeeek! I had to try it out immediately, although it didn't turn out so well. I'm afraid my coffee was ground too small and fell through into the brewed coffee. Boo! But I will try again soon, with coarser grounds. Or maybe I'll just use it for tea. Either way, I dig it.

Hope everyone is having a weekend!
