The Homemaking Party: Pemberley Pinked!

Tabley House, Cheshire, England

Welcome to the Homemaking Party! I'm glad you stopped by!

Wow, this has been a great week full of lots of exciting blessings. (Read more about that here) but TODAY I want to share my newest exciting thing. This week I launched my new Etsy shop completely devoted to PINK! Introducing.... Pemberley Pinked!

I've had a lot of fun scouting the area for fun pink things for my shop. Here are just a few treasures you'll find...

Victorian calling cards abound on Etsy, I know...but can anyone say they are in possession of Mr. Wickham's calling card??? That's right! I've found Mr. George Wickham's calling card, along with those belonging to a couple other family members. If you're a Pride and Prejudice fan, you've got to add this villainous-yet-swoonworthy character's card to your collection!

Here's a beautifully pink 1953 copy of The Enchanted Cup by Dorothy James Roberts. It's a lovely retelling of the story of Tristan and Isolde and would look gorgeous in your vintage book collection.

I found this super cute towel just in time for Easter! Gorgeous vintage days of the week tea towel features a festive, bow-tied, green-eyed bunny and "Wednesday" spelled out in red work. Large, wonderful kitchen towel made like they don't make them anymore!

The best part of the past week? I got to meet my sweet friend, Mrs. Laura Lane from Harvest Lane Cottage, in person---yes I did!!! Read all about that here!

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you're having a blessed week!

Potato & Sausage Bake Recipe: Fast, Frugal, Filling

My six year old, Liam, loves this Potato & Sausage Bake and asks for it all the time! It's one of our favorite lunches---inexpensive, makes a lot, and super filling. It was the first meal now 15 year old Michael learned to put it together so he's usually the one I delegate to make it each time we have it.

I love meals that are simple and filling. We usually have this with some kind of canned fruit: peaches or mandarin oranges. It's comfort food at it's most frugal. Enjoy!

Potato & Sausage Bake (serves 10-12)
5 lb. potatoes
2 TB oil
salt & pepper
4 smoked sausages (hot dog bun size)
8 oz. cheddar cheese

Wash potatoes and cut into bite-size pieces, placing them in a large bowl. Add 2 TB oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Slice sausages once lengthwise, then slice, widthwise, into bite-size pieces. Stir into the potatoes then pour the mixture into a large greased baking pan. I use a roasting pan. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour at 350º. Remove from oven and sprinkle grated cheese on top. Serve when cheese has melted.
