2005 Barbie Totally Real Doll House Kitchen

Dishes SOLD...

A little peek inside my all sounds working (doorbell ding dongs, toilet flushes, shower sounds of running water, washer and dryer spins) retro 2005 Barbie Totally Real House kitchen... I still haven't figured out how to add curtains yet...The cookware is for sale at my Sew Barbie Loves Ken Etsy shop.

Recycled Crafted Merchandise

I recently closed down my two Etsy shops from lack of sales and to put my energy elsewhere. So, I have a nice box of stuff I can shop from.

Hence, my first "purchase" - a t-shirt pin with a ladybug accent pinned to my current handbag/tote.

NOTE: If you remember something that you liked and wished you'd purchased - I still might have it. Contact me at kittyred@gmail.com.



And, "purchase" #2 - I added this t-shirt pin to an old train case I'm now using as a sewing basket.

Greek Pita

Current favorite lunch sandwich - My Greek Pita. 

Remember way back 15 or so years ago, Wendy's had this on their menu?  The name they used was Greek Pita.  I bought it every time hubby and I went there to eat. 

To make one start with a pita bread half, spoon in some feta cheese, add some leaf spinach,  6 slices of cucumber, a thinly sliced mini carrot and pepper plus a thinly sliced radish.  Top with more feta cheese and some light Italian dressing.  Serve it with some veggie chips and celery stuffed with peanut butter.  YUUUUM as my Furbies would say.

My New Blythe Fashions Shop At Etsy

I FINALLY, after a year or so, got my Blythe Fashions shop opened at Etsy (kittyred's Blytique - kittyredsBlytique.etsy.com) and named my girl "Margo".

Here's one of the Valentine dresses I made. I have another one yet to make and list...I'm behind...And so what else is new?!? :o)

Pixie Tomatoes?

Our only 2 tomato plants this year must have been sprinkled with pixie dust. I couldn't find any vintage pixie pics to post so...here's

A pixie brooch I made a couple of years ago for a contest. I didn't win, but I did sell it.

Just look at the shape of our tomatoes this year!

Funny huh?

kittyred's Mustard Potato Salad

I think everyone's favorite potato salad tastes a bit different. I started with a recipe from the vintage Kitchen-Klatter COOKBOOK. I wasn't happy with it so I reworked it to my tastes. And, I don't think most leave the skins on their potatoes. I like doing that if you have good, smooth, unblemished potatoes.

kittyred's MUSTARD POTATO SALAD
- Make it at night, ready for your picnic the next day.

5 medium, cooked russet potatoes/skins, diced larger than rest of ingredients.
6 hard-boiled eggs, diced a bit smaller than pototoes
1 medium green pepper, diced small
3 stalks celery, diced small
salt and pepper
paprika

Boil whole potatoes just until tender, don't overcook. Cool and dice into a large bowl leaving the skins on. Add diced eggs, green pepper and celery. Salt and pepper to taste.

DRESSING

2 Tbls. catsup
2 Tbls. yellow mustard
1-1/2 cup salad dressing

Mix with a fork until blended well and add to potato mixture.

Mix well and garnish with paprika. Or leave one egg out, slice in an egg slicer and use along with the paprika as a garnish.

Chill overnight.
