chocolate

so, it's hot chocolate weather here ~

i actually use this nice generous hershey's hot chocolate mug each a.m. to hold my double decaf boston style coffee ~

retro hershey's cocoa tin ~

if it's tin, i like it ~

this tiny book is filled with hershey's recipes ~

for chocolate lovers ~

toxic knew how to make homemade chocolate pie using hershey's cocoa & her great-grandma's recipe, which she remembered by heart ;) ~

& we always had nestle's in the house for chocolate milk, like this vintage nestle's tin bank ~

ol' bossy chocolate ice-cream! ~

flashback friday favorite ~ vintage giant playhouse

this flashback friday favorite post from 2012 features miss pickles, our sweet babycat who is in kitty heaven now ~

i bought this giant cardboard 'play-inside' dollhouse more than 30 years ago.. here's the mail-in offer & instructions ~

my kitties approve of it ~

it came with wildly off-scale furniture & dolls ~ lol!

cardboard kitchen with all the mod cons ~

also parts, lightbulbs & seeds for a 'real working greenhouse' ~

instructions & pieces ~

it's quirky, but we enjoy it ~
