Over the years I have been a huge collector of Vintage. My love for it grew when I moved back to NY and found a ton of stuff on the curbs each weekend. People put their leftover sale boxes out and I'd find expensive glassware, dinnerware and just started hoarding like you wouldn't believe. I hit up the local thrift shops every week and came across things I wanted to try. Like this percolator. Being the coffee addict that I am, I decided to try it after I experienced a French Press over the summer and by all means, coffee in anything but a modern day coffee maker is the best! it's simple, easy to make and tastes so rich compared to anything else i've ever made coffee in. You just plug it in and bam....Good Coffee! The Farberware Percolator is fast. There are a few Simple Steps: Open the Lid and Empty the compartments Fill with water to the line Scoop your ground coffee into the filter and then attach the inside water line connector to the bo...

it doesn't matter if you've neglected your blogs for a period of time. that's incredibly likely with many bloggers. if you fear that you've left it for so long and can't get it back, don't!!!! act like you were never gone and pick up right where you left off. pretend like your old post from moons ago was just yesterday and tackle a new post from here on out daily!!! having trouble coming up with new content? -take a walk with the camera. this gets your mind thinking and some pics along the trail will help you get posts started once again. want your old and some new readers back? -join twitter, instagram and google +.....these three sites are great for getting your friends back, just add your new blog posts to your twitter feed, instagram pics and you'll be flaring in no time. sharing links to your blog is genius. remember that things take time to fall into place, you're back and that's great!

for months i was sick, got stung by a bee in late spring of this year and days later my immune system went completely berserk. a battle with depression didn't help after i lost everything either. i don't know what was eating at me, all i know is that i felt malaise. All the time, it was awful. And then I started getting migraines again and after suffering for so many years with chronic migraines, I was even more sick to know that they didn't just fade away. But i got up each day and faced the music. I barely went out though. I stayed at home, outback with the fox and deer, my mom lived with us for half the year. And then her signs of early dementia were taking a toll on my health as well. She felt embarrassed when I brought up her hygiene but i have been in nursing and was willing to assist her because she was my mother. She didn't take it very well and was just ugly to me. So i had to let her go and one of the hardest trials of my life is battling a relationship, a g...

hey loves, it's me Vic! most of you may remember me from honey hazel, oh, prettyful or going way back to three girls and a guy!!! I've been around! I know, it's confusing but in order to find myself and how i wanted to be as a blogger, it was necessary and it's certainly OK! don't be afraid to change. Change is great sometimes and leads to bigger things! I know a million bloggers who do this all the time! Wow. My life has been flipped, turned and bounced around since we last talked. I'm a single mom now and moved back to NY, my home town. I struggled with depression, something I never knew before in my entire life after I opened a brick and mortar and then it blew up a few months later. My life this past year has been extremely sad, broken and tough. Which led me to Tussle and Wine . A blog where I want to share my life once again. meet jack! he's the little shit of our family. it's just me, him and the girls right now! spoiled.....maybe! we take...

remember me!? this is crazy and almost too surreal because as most of you know, when we moved our community over to IB4M, I thought we lost FTLOB for good and I know it's been years but who said we can't pick up where we left off?! I've been lost over the years as a blogger and as a single mom. Yes.....I've been a single mom for a little over 3 years now. It's nuts! And I can't tell you how important it is to feel alive in a world where you feel so little! That's why I worked hard to gain this community back. Because wordpress didn't like us very well, I decided to bring back blogger where we first began! Most of our posts and links are still in tact, whew! I have a lot of work to do though and I promise that I will have this site up and running in a few. I noticed many of you fell off the blogger planet and the fact that a lot of us did makes me sad. I don't know what happened to me but I can totally relate as to why so many of you no longer have ...
