Vintage Upcycled Hairpin

Here is a simple craft that I going to post on Etsy or E bay.  I used sturdy clips and glued pieces of vintage  custom jewelery. The stones are olivine, cats-eye, coral and gold plated ferns.

Coconut oil  has recently become very popular because of its many health properties . I started using it for various recipes;however, it is very messy and the coconut oil drips on the side of the jar and onto my counter. I use a large plastic lid to place the jar from all the oil drips.

Gulten free Fudge nut roll - only three ingredients.

Went to See Candy store and bought a  small piece(about 1/4 inch long) of fudge nut log for $1.50. That means  a whole log would be approximately $20.plus dollars. I made mine in a microwave oven for the cost of one can of condense milk, 3/4 cup of  nuts and and  1/8 cup of shredded coconut. The cost was approximate $3.50  Great gift for the holidays and it takes less than 20 min.

1. Pour a can of condense milk in a deep microwaveable glass bowl.
2.  Microwave for  2 min. let it sit until is totally cool about 5 -8 min. 
3. Microwave again for 2 more min. let is sit until it cools. (make sure that it does not burn adjust your time from 1 to 2 min.)
4. Microwave for  min again. let it cool and then  stir and place it on wax paper add about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of chopped nuts (your choice) roll it into a log add 1/8 cup of coconut (outside of the log.  The consistency will be  a bit soft.
5. Let it sit on the counter until the next day. 
6. slice and enjoy.

 Melons are now at our local supermarket, sweet and succulent for the hot summer months. I like to use wax paper instead of plastic wrap (plastic sticks to the melon spoils faster). The wax paper keeps the Mellon fresh and refrigerator order free. I tuck and wrap the wax paper around the melon. View picture
