Need a Mug?

Sometimes when you are antiquing/thrifting you start to focus in one kind of item; thus, the case of this mug collection.  I've been picking up some milk glass mugs for awhile, but this day I just kept finding great ones!  Pictured here are a mix of Fire-King, Pyrex, Federal, and Glasbake mugs.  I love how they all look together.  I especially like the Federal souvenir mugs, great prints and fun!
I'm slowly getting all of these listed in my store, but they all will be for sell.  They are all clean and ready to use! Cheers!

Beeritias and Flowers

After a wonderful visit from my parents, Eric and I did some relaxing on our porch. I picked some wild flowers. I didn't have a small vase but I had a Corona bottle! It ended up being pretty cute!  On a related note, I need to tell you about Beeritias and why I have so many Corona bottles!

My parents brought this amazing recipe with them when they visited.  

Neighbor Dave's Beeritias:

1 can frozen limeaid

2 bottles of Corona

1 cup tequila

Mix all ingredients  

Salt the rim of a glass using a lime (optional)

Serve over ice. 

Enjoy.  

Thursday Beverages!

It's time for a new segment called Thursday Beverages!, because by the time Thursday arrives you're ready for the week to be done. Well, maybe that's just how I feel today, and since no other day begins with "B" to make it into a catchy phrase like "Movie Monday" or "Fashion Friday", I had to pick a day; thus, Beverage Thursday is born. On a related note, stay tuned for Movie Monday and Fashion Friday!
So, why beverages? Well, my husband always remarks to me that I love to have a beverage in my hand or by my side at all times, whether it be alcoholic or not. Also, apparently whenever someone remarks on drinks, drinking, sipping, pairing, tasting, or comfort I seem to always remark, "I looove beverages". So it seems appropriate that I devote a day to my subliminal love. Alcoholic or not, but today I start alcoholic, which I will admittedly say, will be most cases.
I present to you my favorite beer of all time: Chimay Triple from Belgium.

Chimay Triple, half drunk before I even thought about taking a photo.

First, let me tell you that all three Chimay beers are beyond amazing. Second, monks have brewed Chimay since 1862! It should be noted that a monk is a person that devotes their lives to serving others. Thank you monks!
I’m a firm believer that things shouldn’t be rushed. Chimay is a prime example of perfection through dedication with their latest beer, Chimay Triple.
Chimay Triple was introduced in 1966. It is a beautiful gold color and smells sweet. For future posts, it should be said that I love hops. The hoppier the better is usually my motto. This beer however balances hops and sweetness so delicately that I wish every beer tastes like this. Best enjoyed chilled.
If we ever get the chance to go to Europe you bet your ass Belgium is going to be on our list.
