There were some beautiful pieces of depression glass priced at $50 plus so when I spotted this one on a junky old stall for $10, I jumped on it. It's my second piece now...a collection yes?!
Cheerful linen teatowels, $5 a piece.
One lone doily, $1.00
Some vintage tins, $4.00 for the pie tin and 50c each for the cupcake tins-I picked up two. These old tins will be used in my sewing room to house vintage buttons and other treasures.
My friend Annie happened to have her neighbours recipe and I scribbled down a copy. I made a batch yesterday arvo. The kids got off the school bus to warm brownies for afternoon tea and they have been declared the 'best ever' chocolate brownies. Do yourself a favour and make a batch soon!
They are actually called Speedy Chocolate Brownies but of course we have renamed them at our place.
8oz melted butter
3/4 cup cocoa
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 1/3 cup gluten free flour
1/4 tsp baking powder (gluten free)
* I used regular flour and baking powder
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix together with electric beaters.
Line 20x25cm tin with baking paper.
Pour mixture in and bake at 170 deg cel for approx 40 minutes.
Test with a skewer. This recipe is best undercooked.
The end result will be a lovely moist brownie with the perfect amount of crunch on top!
Enjoy!

ooh, you can't beat a good rummage!
The depression glass is the most beautiful colour. Is your other piece the same?
The brownies look delish. I've got the most fearsome sweet tooth since i've been breastfeeding Fin so i'm definatly going to make these babies!
Oh great finds! I went to one recently and found some lovely goodies, have taken pics but not found the time to post. Brownie looks scrum my bet you were mama of the year that day! mel x
When I've got my kitchen back I'll definitely give those Brownies a whirl. I have some green glass for your collection (I've been looking for a new home for it) Will try and hit the post office next week.
Gorgeous t.ts.
p.s do you like amber depression glass? I've got some of that you can have too, if you do...
I so enjoyed reading about your swap meet Lea.....I could just picture it in my mind..I bet it was so much fun keeping your eye out for a special little piece on each table.
I adore your finds...and thanks for the lovely brownie recipe...I might just give that a try this week...I think it would make a lovely little birthday gift for someone I know.

I went to my first swap meet this year and loved it. So much stuff to look at and its interesting to see what the prices are on pieces you already have.
Lovely little tea towels. x
Bel was telling me about the cake stall next to her mum's place, they did it last year as well and was a huge success. Good on them!
