Craft Show Finds and Some Pie for You!

You know, sometimes I go to these craft shows and am out in 30 minutes. Everything looks the same -- everything is more than I want to spend....you know how that goes. But today was a whole different story. It's a good thing I took cash only, because there were so many unique things there today! Not to mention all the fantastic foods and samples that you could try. So I guess for brunch I had a green chile tamale, soft cinnamon pretzel, spicy BBQ sauce and a chip, spicy mustard and a pretzel, homemade pumpkin bread, and a lot of water! Now, each of those things was only a tiny sample, so I think I did pretty good!

I came home with a delightful screen door find. The screen had been taken out and wire strung across the opening back and forth in diamond shapes to make this awesome open frame where you can pin up pictures -- or CARDS! It came with a bag of mini clothespins. And was so cheap! So home it came - and right into my family room next to my stamp room door. I will use it to hang cards for awhile, and then probably switch to pictures and then back to cards! The bottom of the door is painted dark brown, but I think i will change that and stamp on it with Roses in Winter or something else wonderful. I will take a picture when I have it all filled up. I also bought some photographs, and a wonderful little hanging garden. I had to make the rounds twice to make sure of my priorities as there were many many things that wanted to come home with me!

So -- back home and ready with this easy pie for dessert tonight. Here you go - I hope you will try it as it has a really nice tart and tangy flavor.
