The Table

Do you remember this table?

It's been so long, sorry!

OK....the reveal!

Better?



This is sitting in the front entry. We do not have a formal entry,

it just sort of opens into the living room. So this

serves as the entry table. Right now it has a few of my

fall decorations on it!

I spray painted the whole thing. Having painted furniture

the traditional way and now spray painted...

I would have to say that spray painting is

easier. BUT...I like the finish of hand painting better.

That being said I must admit, I may not be the

best spray painter...maybe there is a trick that

I do not know. Either way I like the table so

much better this color!

Cookie of the Week

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I thought that these cookies would make a good choice as today is the first day of fall!

1/2 Cup Butter 1 tsp baking powder

1-1/2 Cups Sugar 1/2 tsp salt

1 egg 1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 Cup canned pumpkin 1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract 6 oz chocolate chips

2-1/2 Cups all-purpose flour

Cream butter and sugar together, add egg and pumpkin. To that add vanilla, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and flour. Fold in chocolate chips. Use a big scoop (1/2 Cup) to scoop onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 15-16 minutes.

I doubled this recipe with no trouble. Also you can add chopped nuts instead or in addition. Also you can make them smaller but be sure to decrease the time you bake them!
