Preserving shabby wooden treasures!

Now I love my shabby looking treasures. Worn and chippy are fabulous. We especially love old and vintage tools. My husband and I both flock to these when out hunting.  Many of the pieces I have are tools that belonged to my grand parents and my Dad. I love them in displays and have them scattered throughout the house. However, I do like to keep them that way.
It may be only in hot and humid climates like here in Florida, but wood can dry out easily and if neglected too long, they will crack. (Especially pieces that I use outdoors.) Now this might be a good thing, but not for vintage tools. At least that's my opinion. Here are two tools that could use some TLC.

Almond Pudding Loaf

Well, it is still raining here in southern Florida, although we have had periods of clearing, so I decided to bake. It seemed like everything I wanted to make, I was missing an ingredient. I had everything for this Almond Pudding Loaf, so that is what I made.

Too Much Rain?

I have been reading posts about places that have had little rain. Katie over at Katherine's Corner posted about the heat and water rationing and the affect on her Hollyhocks. Well, I wish I could send all of those who need rain some of ours. It started raining on Saturday (southern Florida) and basically has not stopped. Needless to say, our yard is flooded and we have an acre under water. This picture is not great since it was raining so hard and it was dark outside.
