I hope this thing is still on because I have a lovely little snack idea to share with you. I discovered it first, where else, Pinterest, but then I haven't stopped making it since. Whenever we need a quick, wholesome snack this is what we are turning to. Surprisingly and deliciously addictive. I haven't even bothered with any seasoning other than a sprinkle of sea salt. Jorn, Simonne and Vaughn can not get enough of these. We're lucky enough that we don't have to "sneak" any foods into our kids diet, they are adventurous eaters, but these offer a refreshing break from carb-based snacks which can be so much easier to reach for. 

You can find the original recipe here. Again, I haven't done anything other than just sprinkle them with some salt. You can just drain a couple of cans early in the day and let them sit until the afternoon/after school so they get nice and dry. That way when you roast them you'll get a nice crispy outer texture. They're so good that they won't last more than a minute or two on the table but, boy, would they be delicious on your dinner salad too. 

I know I mentioned it before but I am using Instagram a lot these days. If you do too, find me there as spiderwomanknits. Lots of pics of what we've been up to these days. 

Hope your Spring is off to a lovely start!

Red Comb Vintage : It's all about The Bag

I've been carving out time to get back to hunting for vintage goodies these days (for the shop and for my home) and I finally had some nice treasures to share. These lovely bags made their way into my Etsy Shop today. Check 'em out. Oh, and while you're there take a look at this. I just about fell over when I found it. So, so sweet. 

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I was a bit of a Weekend Warrior on Saturday and decided to paint my kitchen. Whoa Nelly!

I don't get to do this too often but we had a snow day today, out of sheer desperation to go through the motions of winter eventhough there hasn't been one to speak of in Southern Vermont this year, so I took advantage of the situation to just be still for a while. 

I love Dover Coloring Books. This one is from Trolls, Elves and Fairies by Jan Sovak. We have quite the collection of these and everyone enjoys working on them. I love the way Simonne interprets these drawings. I have to take some pictures of her work too. These pictures aren't the best. They were taken with my iPod and filtered through Instagram but you can get the idea of how detailed the work is. It's so relaxing. My alter-ego fantasy career would be to be a comic book colorist or tattoo artist :)
