Today's thrifted treasures - a green vintage ladies' hat, another floral print to add to the collection in our bathroom, and two old suitcases.....
I also just finished baking Grandma's banana bread....
A sweet Saturday indeed. I hope you are having one too. Love to you all.. Kim
Oh Kim I love the hat, my grandma had one in the same style. Thanks for having me thinking about her. She sadly passed away 16 years ago after living so many years with us at my parents house, I still miss her much from time to time.
I do have her hat somewhere in the dress up bin whitch my kids use.
The banana bread looks delicious!

Hi Kim.
Glad I popped in.....I remember your story about Grandma...my recipe is like yours except I add 1/2 C milk and 1 tsp.baking powder....I am low on milk so I think I am going to make yours. My husband gets in late tonight from a business trip ( 3 weeks) and its his favorite. So I will be making that while watching the Sox beat the Rockies (hopefully) !!!
Thank you Kim..have a wonderful evening.

I really like the hat and the suitcases. You are a such a great photographer!! I have made your recipe for banana bread and it always turns out GOOD! I use whole wheat flour in it and then I can tell myself that it is good for me! LOL! And so yummy! Hugs for Saturday, Cindy

I love those botanical prints! A few years ago i found a ton of them at an antique sale. They were only two dollars and I only bought four of them! I wish I had snatched them all up!

That's a great hat! It reminds me of Mama on The Waltons. I always did love that show and wanted to be Olivia Walton. She really had it all together, didn't she?
Posted by: Wanda | October 27, 2007 at 08:22 PM
Those are wonderful!!!

Warm banana bread with a little butter and a hot cup of coffee sounds perfect right about now.
Love the hat!

Great finds! What goodies do you plan to store in your luggage? I have two wonderful old suitcases that belonged to my Grandparents. Both hold home movies. They are sentimental AND functional. How good is that? ;)
Posted by: Jennifer Wallace | October 28, 2007 at 09:39 AM
Hi Kim,
You found some awesome treasures!!Now where are you going to put the hat and suitcases?You will have to show us a photo when you find somewhere to put them.
After looking at your photos,I think my favorite thing is the white pitcher with black flowers and rooster!!!

Again, you have found some really neat things to add to Daisy Cottage. Everything will look great in your home and I can smell the bread from my house. LOL
Have been MIA due to minor repairs at my old house and have not been on your blog. I envy your beautiful cake holder and the cute baby "pie" chick.
Your new slipcovers that your sister made really speak to me and the red table is TDF. Your home is always so homey looking and I know its full of love.
Hugs,
Connie

What a great hat! I hit a few yard sales yesterday and found "nothing". I love the picture you got. I've been looking for something similar to that, too, but haven't found one. Yesterday's sales were really junky except that my DD did find lots of old, old records, albums and 45's. She bought quite a few of them at only $1 a piece.
The banana bread looks so yummy!!!!!
Posted by: Marilyn | October 28, 2007 at 11:27 AM
Good Morning!
I love reading your blog! Great ideas, yummy looking recipes and I love your cottage! I especially love your living room and the colors you use. I am also a lover of red and most of the walls in my house are a buttery yellow. Do you mind if I add you blog to my favorites list?
Posted by: Courtney | October 28, 2007 at 12:59 PM
It DOES look like you had a lovely Saturday. Lemme see...Hubby & I had maple oatmeal w brown sugar, played violin & guitar together, watched Love Actually, I worked on a new tote, we went for a nice long walk in our new neighborhood, had asparaus hollandaise on croissant for dinner, watched some British mysteries. A lovely relaxing day. So lucky :)
Posted by: Lilli | October 28, 2007 at 01:23 PM
How do you find so many beautiful things? And that Banana bread looks very yummy!!!
tfs ;)
Posted by: Dayami | October 28, 2007 at 01:36 PM
Yahooooooooo!~ I did it. I made my first banana bread that was cooked in the middle. LOL. I came home straight from Church, clicked onto my Favorites (of course Daisy Cottage is there), than wrote down that receipe and I've made two loaves. Just finished eating a piece..Yum yum. Thanks sweetie!~
Do you know not only do I come here every day to check what new post you have, but I come several times a day just to listen to the music...
Take care..

Good Morning Kim!
I was wondering what mischief I would get into this week baking with the weather we are having, and that banana bread looks yummy. Or maybe the muffins would be good, or maybe.....
What fun finds you have added. That hat is darling.

That looks like a cloche, Kim! Cute hat, whatever it's called!
The Bride, our resident banana bread baker, is sort of busy at the moment. We're missing the bread, but having fun anyway!
Your bread looks delish!

Yummy Banana Bread! I can taste it now. Love the hat...how wonderful a vintage hat to go along with yummy banana bread!
Posted by: Alice | October 29, 2007 at 04:15 PM
I'm sure everyone else has said it, but that hat is fantastic... it reminds me of the 1920's! And I can imagine how good the banana bread must smell... yum! Is it getting cooler in Florida yet? We had our first frost last night!

I have a hat very similar and refuse to throw it away. I wore it in my early 20s and I still love it. Great photos, especially of the flowers.
Posted by: Meggie | October 29, 2007 at 08:53 PM
I love old suitcases and the banana bread looks scrumptious!

Kim, the only words I can come up with today to leave for you are...
This is most definitely, without a doubt, a FEEL-GOOD blog! I always leave with a smile in my heart! =)
Posted by: beachy | October 30, 2007 at 02:05 PM
You apparently inspired me in a subconscious way. I remember reading about the cute little suitcases but forgot about the hat. few days ago I posted an old family photo on my blog. The two women are wearing very similar hats. Why am I suddenly thinking they are called cloche hats?
