Antiquing & Brunch

Greetings My Friends~ ~ ~
A birdseye view of our Sunday Brunch table. Ahhh, I feel Spring coming on but I am getting ahead of myself. Before brunch we did a little antiquing.

Sometimes I have something specific in mind when I hit the antique markets but today I was lovin' all of it. I want to share with you some of the sights. Two sets of deco lights, be still my heart I adore the set on the left and they would look amazing in my house but at $950.00 for the set, not today thank you!

This set was sweet too.

I have the perfect spot for these but I really only need 2 and they were priced at $3500.00 for the set of 3! I would love to have one on either side of my Victorian picture over the bed. Sigh!

I want to go shopping with Bill, He gets the greatest deals, doesn't he? In his neck of the woods I could probably get them for $50.00 for the lot.

I adore this Deco light.

The shades looked like Carnival glass.

This is amazing too.

Good thing I don't have to choose.

Pretty, pretty set of dishes. Love the flowered center.

A few pieces of white ironstone~ ~always makes me swoon.

After a fun morning of antiquing we came back to our home for Brunch.

These sweet little napkin rings were a

yard sale find 10 for $6.00.

That's more like it. I love a bargain, don't you?

Here is my recipe for

"Breakfast Casserole"

4T. Butter

1 med. onion, chopped
2 chopped cloves garlic

Saute till transparent add 1 lb. cleaned shrimp saute till done.

Butter a 9 x 13 pan

cube 8 slices of bread

(I use crusty french or my homemade bread)

put half into the pan

1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss Cheese

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella

Mix in a bowl
7 beaten eggs

2 T. flour

3 cups half and half

1/2 tsp. salt & 1/4 tsp. black pepper

pinch of red pepper

Pour egg mixture over layered bread mixture.

Cover and refrigerate overnight

In The Morning

Bake UNCOVERED about 50-60 minutes till knife inserted near center comes out clean.

You can substitute bacon or sausage for the shrimp if you like.

This dish reheats nicely or cut into squares and nuke for a quick breakfast.

Keeps for a few days in the fridge after baking.

Thanks for tagging along on our trip.

Hope you had fun
