Future Fried Green Tomatoes

Tomatoes EVERYWHERE!!! And it’s official — they are now taller than me! I guess that’s not very tall to some folks, but to us ‘little people’, it’s a very BIG Deal. : ) I just had to share my lovely ‘toms’, since it’s been quite a few years since I had much luck with growing them, let-alone in such abundance. In fact, this has got to be the very BEST year for tomatoes ever, for this little Glamping Gardener.

Happy Gardening & .V..

Seahorse Aquarium Knobs in My Remodeled Island Caravan Glamper Kitchen

I’m feeling a bit guilty for my latest treasures when it comes to the hardware I bought for my new (Oh so lovely) kitchen. I found these one-of-a-kind cabinet knobs on Ebay, and I am in LOVE with them! Still, I am a very humane person, and didn’t quite realize before bidding, that these ‘ocean theme’ knobs actually had real sea horses inside. :  (  I really couldn’t tell by the photos, but I loved the colors and the look of the hardware; knowing they would look great on my new bead-board cabinets.

So…there you have it! My guilty pleasure. Still, I can’t help but feel a bit heart-sick for these tiny sea creatures.   Then again, I can’t help but admire the elegance of my little ‘kitchen aquariums’. Sitting here, writing this post, I can look over and see a bit…
