$5 garage sale find

It makes me smile every morning!!

I rescued my shelf in really bad condition.

I cleaned it up, sanded the dark old paint, brushed and re-painted it with my favorite color ever: ivory. 
It is Sherwin Williams Navajo white.

Then I distressed it.

It's the best place to display my old collection of coffee grinders and knick knacks!
The bed-side lamp was my mother's. She grew up with it.

And last but not least here again my old, old italian aluminum tins!
The kitchen scale comes from an old kitchen in Chicago!

Our favorite: fresh, healthy homemade pasta!

We cannot help it...we enjoy pasta every day!

Just fresh eggs, unbleached all purpose flour and whole wheat flour.

It's it!

 Don't you?

Enjoying the open air.

Walking around in the neibourhood!

Making Vegan Chocolate Chip Muffins.

 My vegan chocolate chip muffins, a great breakfast for the girls!

The recipe:
4 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup brown sugar
6 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup of almond milk
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cup of vegan chocolate chip

Stir together all the dry ingredients.
Mix milk and oil and pour the liquids into the dry ingredients.
Start to work with your mixer. I used my wonderful Kitchen Aid stand mixer.
Bake in the heated oven at 380 degrees F. for about 25 minutes.
Enjoy your muffins!

Kitchen aluminium containers...I love them!

 

 I unpacked a big part of all my Italian, vintage, aluminium, family containers, coffee maker, milk jug, teapot, kitchen tool...
I LOVE them, all of them! Some belonged to my grandparents, some to my husband's grandparents.

I like to display them in my kitchen and breakfast area.
The coffee grinders are my favorites. Some of them are really old.
Some are re-painted from my family, some are natural, some are more recent find.

The bedside lamp was my mom's when she was a little girl. It's very sweet to me.
And last but not least: my wonderful kitchen scale!!
I fortunately found it in a gigantic Chicago antique store during our trip last year.
I was looking for one of this for very long, and I found it far away from home.
She was in need of a strong cleaning, but I like her old, rusty patina.
Love it!!

Summer fresh!

Making fresh, delicious fruit salad!

 

Enjoying the summertime!
