Perfect dessert!

I must say. therefore I will say, sugar aggravates my constitution so much so that I have to select sweets with the utmost scrutiny and consume them in very small quantities. So usually when I'm invited to dine with friends, desserts do not make it onto my plate.
However, I have found one delectable that doesn't turn my insides upside down (if I eat only one that is). These delicate and perfectly elegant beauties are a perfect quest delight...small but flavorful!
What are they you ask...well they are the most delicious "Peppermint Brownie Cake Pops".
 Soft almost gooey brownie center enclosed in a sweet white coating sprinkle lightly with luminous peppermint candy...and of course we all know peppermint settles the stomach...perfectly light finale to a delicious dinner!
These are a WOW dessert and sure to delight your guests! The best part is they can be purchased already made...and your guests will think you slaved all day to make them...or they can be easily prepared from scratch.



Perfect for weddings, parties, and just whenever...
Where can you purchase them you ask?  Stay tuned to find out!

Samsonite...

Florida opens up a whole new venue of thrifting...tons of Goodwill's...roadside collectives & yard sales.
With my sister at my side and a few hours to spare...our goal was to find the perfect treasures. Goodwill stores became our main destination however we stopped at any shop we considered worthy of second-hand finds. After scouring antique shops, the last thrift store provided these lovely's.

Lets Travel

Love love vintage...as you can tell from my blog title...however the etc...could represent anything else that I fancy. So, besides treasure hunting for fabulous finds...some of the etc's are a combination of  interests like photography, irresistible food finds, travel and interior decorating.
 So along the way, I'll share with you a variety of expressions from each of these interests.



Previously modern windmills...now warm nostalgic windmills...via Colorado!
 I enjoy the wide open land...undeveloped space...endless window of nature.
