Happy Thanksgiving

Image
Hello Etsy Fans and bloggers, Well Thanksgiving went off with a bang, was cooking all day and the feast was finally pulled off.  Had a little glitch with my oven, bird wasn't done on time, I almost had a melt down but at last no one went away hungry.  I tried to pan roast of the turkey by cutting it in half and stuffing herbs like rosemary, sage and tarragon under the skin. It was moist and delicious it was just the recipe's cooking time was off or my oven was to the fritz. I think I will try it again except next time I won't have a bunch of hungry guests waiting for it!!! Today is Black Friday  and this is supposed to be the beginning of the holiday sale season for Etsy. So don't let me down Etsy fans and start buying!! Here are a few items soon to be listed and Bec has made more remix. So stop by the shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop/RetroBabs

Hello Fans Bec and I were featured in a Treasury called an Old Fashioned Christmas.  Take a look.  It is beautiful. http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4ced45a557dc6d916f005c2c/an-old-fashioned-christmas They featured our lovely linen tablecloth. Happy Holidays Babs and Bec

Strawberry Pitcher and Treasury

Image
I have a new item in the shop it is a Strawberry Pitcher that was made in Italy.  I sold something similar a month ago.  At that time it was a Lemon Pitcher.  I thought I would post t picture of it here for you to see. I also have made a new Treasury for Etsy.  It is under the Vesties Team Challenge. I titled it Gifts for Him under $30 http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4cd209811b156d911fa7412e/vesties-challenge-gifts-for-him-under-30

Halloween

Image
Here is what I think about Halloween costumes...Why can't they make them comfortable??  Why do they always have sharp edges, zippers that pinch and hotter than H..LL??  In California it was 65 degrees and the babies were burning up!!   Gramma Babs failed at the costume selection but fun was had by all anyway. Ha Ha Look to the shop for new items and a Holiday Vintage selection coming soon.  We here at RetroBabs hope you had a fun Halloween and the rest of the years holidays be as festive.
