Sunday Sale Pendant

This week's Sunday Sale Pendant is a favourite of mine. I am loving pink lately, maybe it's a spring thing.

This pendant is reduced for today only (April 12th). Happy Sunday.

Soup's On

A few weeks ago, I posted about my Soup Club (post found here) I had such a good time sharing, I thought I would try it again.

This week's receipe was for my family, as I don't think it would reheat very well for my club. The essentials for this receipe are a slow cooker (my $60.00 investment has served me well), fresh veggies and patience (it smells so good while it's cooking it's hard to wait!).


Here's the recipe!

Pasta Soup

Fresh Ingredients:
2 cups fresh spinach, corasly chopped
1 cup thawed peas (I used Lima beans cause that's what I had).
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 tsp salt

Pasta
1 pkg frozen cheese ravioli cooked.

Vegetable Stock:
2 each carrots and ribs celery, chopped
2 onions (with skin), chopped
1 plum tomato
3 cloves garlic, halved
1 pkg (14g) dried mixed mushrooms
1/4 tsp each salt and peppercorns
2 bay leaves

Vegetable Stock:
1) Put all ingredients listed under "vegetable stock" above into slow cooker. Cover with about 7 cups of water. Cook on low until veggies are soft and tender (6-8 hours).
2) Strain into a saucepan, squeezing to extract all liquid.
3) Bring stock to a boil over medium-high heat.
4) Add items listed under "fresh ingredients" above. Simmer until spinach is wilted.
5) Divide ravioli among four bowls. Ladle Soup over top.

Happy eating!

Front Page Treasury

I was pleased to find out that the lastest treasury I made was on the front page yesterday. The items were lovely and one shop even mailed to let me know that they made a sale because of it. Yay! It was only my second one (patience not my strong point) but it is a little addicitng so perhaps I'll try again!

Window Shopping - All About The Pink

Today, it is pouring rain and a strong, blowing wind is rattling my windows. For today's window shopping I thought I would feature some lovely items in pink! No other colour could brighten my day as much or make me look forward to sunnier weather more.

This dress from lyptis is used as her avatar and caught my eye immediately!

I need to hop on the treadmill a little more before I get this one, but this skirt from fellow Canuk, Ureshii would be great for the spring and summer:

Finally, while not completely pink, I think these earrings by fussjewelery are a must for me this spring:

Happy Friday!! I must remeber that all this rain means that there will be something green to see (finally) in the days to come.

New At Penny Shop Girl.

I have been strangely quite on the blog front this week I realize, but I have a good excuse. I have been working away on new designs and shopping quite a bit too (shh, don't tell my husband).

I pronmise I will be back to my regular musings soon, maybe even a contest next week, so look back.

In the meantime, here a few new designs at Penny Shop Girl!
