Vintage Finds 5/4

I haven't been thrifting in forever since I don't have room for any furniture and I'm content with my current collections. Though I want to build up on some of my other ones I just don't have the room to display the things like I like so until then I was taking a break. However, I went to the thrift store with my Mom and scored some wedding stuff :)

Our wedding colors are being pulled from different shades of blue, red and yellow. The dessert tier was in perfect condition and the set of cloth napkins would be perfect for making a banner. I want to collect more for banners and to put on top of the dessert bar. 

My Mom had these beautiful goblets and even though I have room for them now I eventually want to use them in my future house. Until then I thought they'd fit perfectly on the tables for the wedding, maybe with succulents in them or a small bouquet. It's a set of 6 so I can use these and maybe throw in a few milk glass vases to mix up with the vintage soda bottles with single or filler flowers.

This is the gem of the finds but I can't take the credit for finding it. As I mentioned before my Mom and her husband run a little antique store, he was doing some picking and found this type writer. He fixed the ribbon and I started working on it some more cleaning it and making it type better. I told him how awesome it was and he said I could have it! It was sweet of him and I now have it running pretty good it just sticks on a few keys. I still need to clean off the keys some more but it's in great condition for being used.

I'm posting most of my wedding stuff via tumblr on Future Mrs. Cooper so feel free to check that out for some great ideas and current updates!

//End of the Week 3/30

Last week flew by so fast and when you only have about two weeks per lab I felt this one would come and go quickly...yeah I was wrong. This week seems like it took so long to get here but I did have some fun and got started doing some wedding stuff, so here are some photos of what happened this week.

 Worked on cheesecake plate design and also made a chocolate mocha pots de creme, but I didn't like the platting design on that as much as I loved this one.

 

On Wednesday we had one of the Teacher Assistants come in and do a liquid nitrogen demo. It was crazy and amazing all at once. He made "dippin' dots" and those little red things are a shattered raspberry bits. He made regular ice cream in the mixer and did a champagne sorbet.

Thursday we had to create our trio plate. I decided I could just do a cheesecake trio and use up the rest of my left over cheese cakes I had. I have to say this was my favorite plate so far and it tasted delicious!

The last few weekends I've been doing a few wedding things. Last week I hung out with my friend Desiree and we picked up some fake flowers for boutineers, scrapbook paper for confetti and items for the dessert table. The other night I worked on wedding invites on photoshop.

Yesterday I had a girls day out with my Mom and Grandma and we got pedicures together, then Dustin and I hung out with our friends the rest of the night. 

I want to work more on wedding stuff but also bake today. I have some bananas and apples that need to be used so I was going to do a banana apple bread with a glaze and put chopped pecans on top. Hopefully it turns out well because I'm suppose to bring it to Easter lunch tomorrow at the Grandparents. 

How was your week? Are you doing anything special on Easter?
