Paula says: To keep potatoes from budding,

place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

Maxine says :

Buy Smash mashed potato mix.

Keeps in the cupboard for up to a year.


Paula Says:
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit of dry cake

mix instead and there won't be any

white mess on the outside of the cake.

Maxine says:
Go to the bakery!

Hell, they'll even decorate it for you!

Paula says:

Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting

in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
Maxine says:

Celery?

Never heard of it!

 

Paula says:
Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and
rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

Maxine says:

Take a lime, mix it with tequila,

chill and drink! All your pains go away

Paula says:

Don't throw out all that leftover wine.

Freeze into ice cubes for future use

in casseroles and sauces...

Maxine says:

Left over wine???

~Photo L♥ve~

Hello guys, did I ever tell you I l♥ve old photo albums...Well I do and when I find them in good condition I have to have them...It's just another thing that screams my name lol!!

I have been collecting them now for over 30 years...and I don't care if they have pictures in them or not..I just buy old photos for them

This is a leather album and I love the sweet pansy"s on the front of it...

This album is ca. 1880

I have it full of photos I have bought through the years...

This sits on my coffee table this week ha ha!!

An ostrich egg under a cloche sits next to it...This egg came from my own ostrich..as I had an ostrich and Emu farm at one time.

One of my antique french clock also added to the table...

This album I have in my dining room...and it's one of my favorites...I love the tin heart mirror on the front of it...

The inside of it...again I added all the photos to it...

But the best part of this album is that in the back it fold down and make a little writing desk with an ink well and a place to put photos until you date them etc.

This is the only album like this one I have found so far...It's faded green velvet and the inside is all leather..can you say Love...I also have a musical Antique photo album,Christmas and many more...last count was 15.

And I am sure these photos were taken with cameras like these...

Oh yes !! yet another collection for another day to share...
I am joining Marty at " A Stroll Thru Life"  for table top Tuesday...Thanks Marty...

Thanks for coming by and seeing what's Old up on my mountain...

Until next time.
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
