I'm so glad you stopped by for a visit today! A bit of Granny Chic, a pinch of Prairie, a sprinkling of rustic, a dash of Vintage and a Cherry on top. That's my CherryPrairie downhome recipe.

You all may or may not know that I sew quite a bit. It makes my heart happy to create fun little prairie aprons, totes, blankets and all kinds of other goodies. I truly needed someone to model all these lovely little creations. But not just any someone, that just right someone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day while I was out hunting treasures I came across Dottie at a yard sale. She was just right! She has a lovely worn look and is the perfect sewing sidekick for me. So now Dottie and I sew together (I do the sewing, she does the modeling). Dottie also loves dressing up for holidays. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(by the way her full name is Dottie Dressform)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here's a photo of Dottie all dressed up for Christmas.<br />
She's wearing a vintage waitress uniform with a Christmas hankie topped by a holiday corsage. And since every good waitress needs an apron with a pocket I let her borrow one of mine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Wishing you a happy new year with many treasures along the way!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Early Autumn has arrived in my neck of the woods. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cold mornings, lovely afternoons and crisp evenings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At my house that means it's apple season. Visions of homemade apple pie, dumplings (with a double recipe of cinnamon syrup), apple cake and applesauce, just to name a few. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That means it's time for me to cook up batch of homemade applesauce. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I always use my Grammy's recipe. She canned enough applesauce each Fall to last her a year because she didn't like store bought. And you know she was right. Homemade applesauce is so much more flavorful. If you'd like to try making applesauce you'll find her recipe below. I don't can it like she did, I vacuum seal it in bags and store it in the freezer. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Grammy's Homemade Applesauce</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(unsweetened applesauce) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">28 cups of flavorful apples (peeled, cored and sliced)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(use sweet apples with lots of flavor like graven steins)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3-1/2 cups of apple juice</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1-1/2 cups of water</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Put all ingredients in a large pot, bring to a boil and simmer until apples are soft.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mash with a potato masher for chunky applesauce or puree with a stick blender for smoother texture. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Simmer for an additional 15 minutes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let cool, and either vacuum seal or put in freezer containers. Store in the freezer. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I always fill one mason jar and pop in the refrigerator to eat right away. </span></div>
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After all the snow, rain and flooding blue skies are a very welcome sight. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Carson river reached major flood stage for the 2nd time this winter. We are fortunate to live in an area that was not affected. But there were road closures due to water on the roads/bridges and mudslides to the south of us. Many of the storm drains in town were full and bubbling water out into the streets. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thank goodness that's over and the sun is shining so everything can dry out. There may be more storms coming but for now there is Sunshine, blue skies and dry weather (happy dance)!</div>

Are you looking for a farmhouse decorating idea using vintage items? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This charming display works well in rustic, farmhouse and cottage decor. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's quick, easy and will add a unique touch to your home!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Start with a vintage muffin pan making sure that it is steel or iron not aluminum.This project won't work with aluminum since it is not magnetic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One with an aged patina will give your project vintage character.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM_5n8GcjriSJpYDOCiFfVU5Od-n1jM6nlY8Vmrpfm4jQ905uSXbpTB2qkEbGL8FbvEzheWWB1LRritPvUws9BJEfAz4NdYuFo6FjaXavwJAi7qjdYdkUZw1CCp7OmGV6SNw0zQveSxMc/s1600/il_fullxfull.1063857252_lenu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM_5n8GcjriSJpYDOCiFfVU5Od-n1jM6nlY8Vmrpfm4jQ905uSXbpTB2qkEbGL8FbvEzheWWB1LRritPvUws9BJEfAz4NdYuFo6FjaXavwJAi7qjdYdkUZw1CCp7OmGV6SNw0zQveSxMc/s400/il_fullxfull.1063857252_lenu.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll need vintage milk bottle caps (both cardboard and plastic will work).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One for each cup and as many strong round magnets. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are not using peel and stick magnets you will also need a hot glue gun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Attach a magnet to the back of each bottle cap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Put one Milk Cap Magnet in each cup and you're done with your shadow box!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add a hanger to use as wall art or prop it up against a wall, inside a cabinet or shelf. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLrRw9Aa0e0CXVKfBUGyuqttrmq0wJT5ovSddUKjpeH2Eei78IP7d7Myuo7jg7HL9hJOqNBWS1x9btAvJEpKic0mnOM0-3m-CZOL9XKflwjm_pg0ZOw06aZDZANN9V7hgmUb2d3Uwq-ZQ/s1600/IMG_0587.jpg1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLrRw9Aa0e0CXVKfBUGyuqttrmq0wJT5ovSddUKjpeH2Eei78IP7d7Myuo7jg7HL9hJOqNBWS1x9btAvJEpKic0mnOM0-3m-CZOL9XKflwjm_pg0ZOw06aZDZANN9V7hgmUb2d3Uwq-ZQ/s400/IMG_0587.jpg1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Display either vertically or horizontally, which ever works better for your space.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And later on if you want a change:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remove the bottle caps and use as refrigerator magnets. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your muffin pan will be undamaged and ready to use for something else. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Autumn has arrived and with it all the things that make it one of my favorite seasons. </h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The leaves have turned brilliant hues of red, orange and gold and are now falling from the trees creating a colorful carpet. The sun is shining, the air is crisp and slightly chilled. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The kitchen is scented with apples and cinnamon. There are several bags of apples waiting to be made into delicious treats. I've made apple pie, apple dumplings and apple squares. Soon I'll be making homemade apple sauce. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px;">
This weekend hubby will be raking leaves while our dog runs happily thru the freshly raked piles. There will be homemade soup simmering on the stove while desert is baking in the oven. It will be something with apples of course! </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Soon I'll be thinking of the holidays, but for now I just want to enjoy this most lovely of seasons. </div>

This sweet vintage dolly is here just in time for you to stitch her up and give her as a Christmas gift!<br />
<br />
At 18" tall she would be adorable sitting under your Christmas tree. Especially if you were creating a vintage toy land theme. You could even make her suspender skirt out of felt with a tiny holiday applique on the front! <br />

I love the idea of country living but not the inconvenience of traveling long distances to shopping, the doctor's office, etc. I tried that and really didn't like driving in the snow to get to town, having the deer eat all the vegetables or not having water when the electricity went out and the electric well pump couldn't run. So I've tried to take all the parts of the country life that I like and incorporate them into my suburban existence. <br />
<br />
To me farmhouse living means simplicity, connecting to the earth and doing what you can with your own two hands. <br />
<br />
I'm not living in rural America but that's okay, I'm pretty happy with our own personal blend of suburbia and country! <br />

Vintage linens with lovely stamped designs are often found at rummage sales and thrift stores.<br />
The designs were meant to be hand embroidered by an industrious house wife.<br />
I know I'll never embroider them but that didn't stop me from buying them and stashing them away!<br />
<br />
So rather than keep them in a drawer I decided to use them just the way they are.<br />
These linens go particularly well with farmhouse and prairie decor adding a rustic charm to your table. Remember that the designs were meant to be removed once the embroidery was complete<br />
so I don't recommend washing them.</div>
