A Cute Desk Organzier

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage in ,

















The other day I went to Marshals, you know the store that is just WONDERFUL! I like going there to buy coffee because they have a English Toffee coffee ( say that three times fast) anyway it is the best coffee my husband loves it. So when I go to Marshals to buy the English Toffee coffee of course I have to look around. I found this desk organizer that I have been wanting for a long time, it was $14.99 I thought to myself that's not to bad but I decided I didn't need to spend $14.99 on anything that day so I just bought the English Toffee coffee( like a good girl.) So in my mind as I was leaving I thought that it was sure to turn out like the ordeal with the mail box, This one here do you remember it from an older post?




I still proceeded out the door with out this cute~~~~ cute~~~~ desk organize
About a week later I went to the Goodwill and yep~~ it is true the exact cute~~ cute~~ desk organizer was there for only$4.99 so guess what, I now have this cute desk organizer on my desk and I love it! It is worth every penny of the $4.99.
I have mention before how much I love jars, well another thing that I love is buying chocolate or mints or gum that come in cute tins. Every time I open it up it has that pretty paper inside It just makes me feel special every time I open it. (hey they should decorated the paper inside those tins with toile prints or roses how cute would that be) Anyway I save them because you never know when you will need them. Here are a few that I use on my desk one is from a sample chocolate and the others are from Altoids one it is a mint covered in dark chocolate( YUMMY) So I put my special pens in one and paperclips in another, and thump tacks in another. It's an idea I wanted to share who knows maybe you like cute tins as well! OH~~ and the candle above guess what the fragrance is? Chocolate~~~ It's wonderful

Lemon Curd & Lace Curtains

Posted by Ginger~~Enchanting Cottage in ,











The other day I canned some Lemon curd, it's so easy to make! I made about 3 1/2 jars. It will take us a life time to eat that. I also made some scones to go with it. The scones called for cream I only had milk and french vanilla coffee creamer so I used the french vanilla coffee creamer, the scones had a hint of vanilla flavor I will use that all the time its was so good.While I was making the Lemon Curd I had the kitchen window open, the wind was blowing just enough so we could hear our wind chime that's hanging in our window( yep the one my husbands not to crazy about) and just enough so the lace curtains were blowing. I think I may of mentioned before how much I love when the wind blows and the lace curtains freely move. I think it looks so pretty.




I'm sure there are a few of you who may have lots of lemons and not sure what to do with them all, well this Lemon Curd recipe is SO~~~~~ easy you should give it a try. It is yummy on a English muffin also.




So here is the recipe,









1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into bits

Preparation
Whisk together juice, zest, sugar, and eggs in a 2-quart heavy saucepan. Stir in butter and cook over moderately low heat, whisking frequently, until curd is thick enough to hold marks of whisk and first bubble appears on surface, about 6 minutes.
Transfer lemon curd to a bowl and chill, its surface covered with plastic wrap, until cold, at least 1 hour.
Enjoy!
