Around The House: Black Friday Aquisitions + Banana Bread

This past Black Friday while most people headed to malls and other stores to find great deals, hubby, the kiddos and I piled into the Prius and headed to the thrift stores. I cant stand being in crowded stores so thrifting was the best idea.

She needs a bit of work but Im in LOVE!!!

OMGOODNESSSSSS!!!!
Thats how I felt when hubby spotted this table and chairs set at a thrift store for a mere $75! By now you all know that hubby and I are diehard MidCentury Modern Fans. Things like this arent very abundant in Alabama.
I also picked up these pretties. $3 for the pair!!!

Having this table inspired me to bake some banana bread :)
3 ripe bananas
1c. sugar
1 stick margarine or butter
2eggs
1tbsp milk
1tsp cinnamon
2c. flour
1tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda
1tsp salt
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
Butter your loaf pan.
Cream butter, sugar and eggs.
In a seperate bowl, combine dry ingredients.
Mash bananas (great kid job) and add to wet ingredients.
Combine all ingredients.
Pour into loaf pan.
Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool.
Slice and serve with butter, honey or apple butter!
YUMMY!!!
Eat at new (old) Table!!!!!

  1. You guys purchased some great items, and don't get me started on that good looking banana bread.

    I didn't shop on Black Friday, I absolutely hate madness and chaos.
