wallpaper wednesday & recipe

So yesterday I had such a blast going to ADAC with Sherry and Ally.  We were like kids in a candy store looking at fabric from Lulu DK (my favorite), Celerie Kemble, Oscar de la Renta and Designers Guild.

(my favorite wallpaper find of the day was "Rugosa" above by Designers Guild.)

Before we met Ally, Sherry was kind enough to show me some of her favorite, tucked-away resources.  We were so in love with what we found there we couldn't even talk  (the only time this happened the entire day.)

A set of six vintage vinyl chairs

A brass coffee table from Paris.

2 stout, cream lamps with glass bases.

what unique chairs!

this huge, heavy (and pricey) Parisian mirror

I would LOVE to use Rugosa in our hallway.  Our entire home is so white, which I love, but having a dark and romantic hallway would be so fun.

And here is the recipe for meatloaf from Southern Living (I am a day behind in my recipes.  How did that lady who used the crockpot everyday for a year do it?!

2 lb ground round

1 (1 oz) envelope dry onion soup mix

1 cup (4 oz) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

3/4 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs

1 large egg

1 Tbsp Worch. sauce

1 cup ketchup, divided

1 Tbsp light brown sugar

1 tsp yellow mustard

1.  Combine first 6 ingredients, 1/2 cup ketchup, and 1/4 cup water; shape mixture into an 8 x 4 inch loaf.  Line bottom and sides of a 4-quart oval shaped slow cooker with aluminum foil, allowing 2 inches to extend over sides.  Lightly grease foil.  Place loaf in slow cooker.

2.  Stir together brown sugar, mustard, and remaining 1/2 cup ketchup; spread over top of loaf.  Cover and cook on LOW 5-6 hours or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees.  Lift loaf from slow cooker, using foil sides as handles.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving.  NOTE:  You may also prepare in a 5-qt slow cooker.  Cover and cook on LOW 3 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees.

Have a good one!  Julie
