Lady in the Yard

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Joe_Williams

Sadly, I have no idea who this woman was, but John Capewell of Westville, New Jersey saw fit to commit her image to glass negative. Judging from the lady’s style of dress this looks like it was shot some time very early in the 20th century . Continue reading →

Patterned Paper Gift Boxes

June will be here before you know it, and I have a cluster of friends celebrating birthdays. I thought it would be fun to make some decorative boxes put their gifts in. This is a simple wood hinged box – I brushed on a couple coats of acrylic paint, then Mod Podged some patterned paper to the lid. So much nicer than a cotton lined cardboard box!

PoundCake

This pound cake hails from Janelle McComb – a childhood friend of Elvis’, who baked two of these bad boys for the King every Christmas. The man certainly knew good pound cake when he tasted it – it’s dense, but not too heavy, with the perfect amount of sweetness. Pop a slice in the toaster and grab a cup of coffee – it’s good stuff!

House Behind The Trees

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Joe_Williams

Here’s another photo shot by John Capewell that doesn’t give the viewer much to go on as far as place or time. My guess is that it is a house in Westville, New Jersey where Capewell and his family resided.

Buttermilk Waffles with Rhubarb Compote

WafflesRhubarb

I have industrial wire shelves in my kitchen to hold the things my cabinets can’t – large canisters of flour and sugar, a classic diner covered cake stand, stacks of folded cloth napkins, a 70′s harvest gold stand mixer from Sears gifted to me by my father-in-law, and tin boxes crammed with my collection of cookie cutters and cupcake papers. I did a little rearranging this week to designate a place of honor for my waffle iron, my theory being if it’s out in the open, we’ll have waffles for breakfast more often. On Sunday, I made buttermilk waffles with a rhubarb compote – they were so good! It’s given me incentive for future experimentation with different kinds of waffles – whole wheat, pumpkin, blueberry, savory waffles with herbs and cheese – waffles for dinner – this could get interesting… Continue reading →
