This was a “Re-purposing” project that transformed the ordinary into something unique and different.

We took two garage sale finds and combined them.

The combination was a hand blown glass ball and a high square blue glazed flower pot.

Using a landscape light pigtail light socket we buy in bulk off eBay, these objects became a very unusual landscape yard light.

A PVC pedestal holds the glass ball and also has the light socket and bulb centered inside the ball. The landscape wiring goes down through the PVC and out the pots bottom drain hole. That wiring runs back to the landscape lighting transformer/timer.

The pot was filled around the PVC pedestal with pea gravel to secure everything. The pedestal length was cut to purposely give the appearance the ball is floating just above the pot edges.

This project with combined material was completed for under $25.

This project could be adapted to run off solar.

Garage Sales, Estate Sales, Second Hand Shops, as well as Antique Shops often hold that diamond in the rough.

This metal patio set was a rust heap when found.  No table top either.  With some loving labor and a few quarts of paint the rusty metal was transformed.  No quick project.  3 coats of brushed on paint.  10 hours of labor went into this transformation.

Over a period of months we kept searching Craigslist and Garage Sales for an appropriate sized round piece of tempered glass.  We finally scored and the project was complete.

Not all that is vintage, is found sitting idly on the shelf in an antique shop.  Occasionally you see something in the wild that is a thing of beauty.  Especially when it still functions, and in some cases perhaps better than when it was new.

On my recent visit to Glacier National Park, I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of the rare “Red Jammer”.  Why is it called a “Red Jammer”?

Some of us suffer from “Cast Iron Sickness”.  We collect and buy vintage cast iron cookware.  I suffer from it myself.  When you find you keep buying and can’t stand to sell a piece you have caught the fever.

I not only buy, collect, and restore.  I also love putting my vintage cast iron to use.

On a recent camping trip to Glacier National Park I did just that.  What a treat to slow the pace down and take the time to do some cooking over a fire or hot coals.  Fresh homemade Dutch Oven biscuits, slathered with melting butter, and the best local jams you can find.

On one occasion I made an appetizer for a group of 6 of us.  One of my favorites is Dutch Oven Rolls, and an Artichoke-Spinach dip.  I am not real keen on either of these ingredients.  But when combined and other items added this becomes one of those additive foods.

Follow this link for links to both the Rolls as well as the Dip Recipes.  Impressive, Easy, and Oh so good!

If you are in Las Vegas, NV this weekend come to the Old Mormon Fort. We start Dutch Oven competition cooking Saturday (3/19/2016) 8am. Food will be ready and available free to the public around 12:30 (Noon-ish)

Come have some fun watching and eating food prepared the old fashioned way. Many of the cooks cruise the Antique shops, Estate Sales, and garage sales looking for vintage finds. Many of us not only cook but collect vintage cookware.

You might see the old hang crank egg beater, or biscuit cutter in action. Not to mention all the cast iron Dutch Ovens being put to the test!

We don’t just stick our vintage/antique pots on the garage shelf to gather dust. You will be amazed at what some of these cooks will prepare in cast iron over real fire, using charcoal.

At the same time enjoy some Las Vegas heritage. This event takes place at the Old Mormon Fort located at the corner of N. Las Vegas Blvd & E Washington Ave. (Next to Cashman Field)

Once you get your fill of food, head out to the Antique Shops in search of your own Cast Iron.
