There are actually TWO broken sewing machines that are occupying space down here in my appointed areas...along with a crib that hasn't been used in thirty plus years and two enormous, rusty, old, mostly empty file cabinets. But you see, it is DIFFERENT...when it is HER stuff. LOL.

It is my microwave stand...but it will work in the porch as it can hold my vintage blue bowls that I always use to bake cookies.

I have made apple pancakes and they are awesome!

I like creme brulee also--I have never made it though.
