Meet My Baby!

This is my baby and his name is Derrick. He is a year and a half old ferret and a bundle of joy.

Derrick lets us place random object in his hands.

And he needs glasses for his poor vision.

My New/Old Bar Cart!

I went to an estate sale this past Friday looking for more vintage glassware and I found this old and rusted bar cart for $3! What a steal!

I washed, sanded and gave it a fresh coat of gold paint.

Here it is after I dolled it up a bit.

Complete with a little glittered Halloween flair.

Mojito Time!

My new glassware has inspired me. Tonight I made mojitos and they were very yummy so I decided to share my recipe with you guys. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Mojito Recipe:
Fresh mint
2 Tbsp mint simple syrup (recipe follows)
1 Tbsp lime juice
1.5 oz (1 shot) of rum
Lime club soda

Mint Simple Syrup
1 cup of water
2 mint tea bags
1 cup of sugar
Bring water to a boil and remove from heat. Add mint tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags. Bring tea to a boil again and add sugar. Mix until sugar is dissolved and remove from heat. You can transfer to a container and store in the refrigerator.

In a glass, add 2-3 bruised mint leaves and fill with ice. Add 2 tbsp of mint simple syrup, 1 tbsp of lime juice, 1.5 oz of rum and mix. Top with 2- 3 oz of lime club soda. Drink and enjoy!

More Vintage Glassware!

Ok. I think I have a problem. I have made 4 more purchases of more vintage glassware since my last. So take a looksy. I am in love with all of my pieces :)
