For a dash of nautical style and lots of farmhouse practicality, the Jericho Bay Glass and Rope Candle Lantern can’t be beat.

Vintage Trick or Treat Party


Create a vintage style Halloween party with a few classics. These days I don't have as much time to put into my entertaining as I would like. It's great to have every day items on hand that can quickly turn into tabletop centerpieces with ease. Our Vintage Style Enamel Food Storage Containers are just that. 

They offer instant vintage charm and country, farmhouse style to any buffet. The large one is great for keeping a few drinks on ice. I found some retro soda bottles to add a pop of color to our trick or treat party. The smallest enamel container holds my handmade party favors. I made the little treat bags from some extra fabric and ribbon and packed them with retro candy favorites, such as Mary Janes and Fireballs. Happy Halloween Decorating!

Connecticut River Valley Tobacco

Tobacco may not be good for, but it sure smells great when it is drying in the barns every fall. Connecticut River Valley tobacco has been used in fine cigars for over a century. The old barns are beautiful and on warm days the friendly scent, almost like a sweet tea, fills the air.

Front Door Lanterns

Using an old lantern for front door lighting adds a lot of character. This home in Old Deerfield even has an old lantern shelf, which is an unusual touch. Could be a maintenance nightmare, but I love the look.

Fall and Flies

Even though fall is here, we're still enjoying the tastes of summer with this freshly harvested watermelon from our garden. The screen food cover sure comes in handy this time of year. The flies keep sneaking into my kitchen. I'm sure this old farmhouse offers a million easy entries for the little buggers.

Chalkboard Dining Table

I'm so not over the chalkboard craze. When I saw this chalkboard table in Suzanne Flohr's home in the current issue of Better Homes and Gardens, I knew I had a new weekend project on my hands. I think our Vintage Industrial Hardware Bin will look so cute on top of this table with different colors of chalk in each bin.

Golden Girl

Our Golden Retriever is eight-months-old today. You see the baby blanket she is carrying? We brought her home in that blankie. The breeder had covered it with her mom's scent. Now it pretty much just smells icky. But I can't bring myself to wash it. Every day Bodie pulls it out of her crate and walks around the house with it until we rub her belly. Happy Birthday Bodie.

Chard Lovin'


We fell in love with chard a few years ago when hubby threw some seeds
in a shady part of the garden and it ended up being the season's best
crop. The fact that it is ranked as one of the world's healthiest
foods is a great added benefit, but really, since it's easy to grow
and fun to cook with, we'd probably still use it if it had the
nutritional value of a Twinkie. The plant grows happily in partial
shade, producing tasty tender leaves pretty much from June until
September or even October. And it looks beautiful. Hubby is
particularly smitten with this year's variety, called Bright Lights,
described in his seed catalog thusly: "Lightly savoyed, green or
bronze leaves with stems of many colors including gold, pink, orange,
purple, red, and white with bright and pastel variations. The flavor
is milder than ordinary chard, with each color a bit different."

Here is a favorite but simple recipe. Made with Bright Lights chard,
it will please the eye as much as the palate.

Swiss Chard with Garlic and Pasta

Ingredients:
One bunch fresh chard, (approx 1 1/2 pounds)
3 cloves fresh garlic
1/2 yellow onion
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 lb. pasta (I prefer thin spaghetti, but any yummy noodle will do.)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Preparation:
Wash chard. Cut stems in 1 inch pieces. Cut leaves and ribs into
2-inch strips. Chop onions and garlic coarsely.

Cook pasta according to directions, toss with about half the olive
oil. Set aside.

In a deep skillet or wok, heat the other half of the oil, add garlic
and onions, cover and cook five minutes on medium heat until onions
begin to soften. Add chard stems and cook a few more minutes. Add
chicken stock and chard leaves and greens, salt and pepper. Cook about
8-10 minutes until chard is tender.

Add pasta, mix thoroughly. You can add Parmesan cheese while the meal
is still in the skillet, blending it in as best you can, or use it as
a topping at table.

Tom's tip: The secret to cooking chard and other greens (beets and
kale in particular) is accommodating the fact that the stems are
thicker and slower cooking than the leaves. When using chard in a
pasta dish or soup, add the thicker, tougher parts of the plant a few
minutes before you add the tender parts of the plant. Everything
should come out cooked to perfection.
