Hello, Monday

February 8th, 2010

I’m off to edit photos and do some measurements for the next shop update. I’ll be back later with some pictures from my weekend. Have a wonderful Monday and let this print by Jen Renninger act as a good little reminder for pleasant days…

Dinner & A Movie : Masculin, Féminin + Salmon Cakes

February 5th, 2010

Chantal Goya plays the character of Madeleine Zimmer, a budding pop star in the 1966 film Masculin, Féminin directed by Jean-Luc Godard. She becomes involved with a young idealist named Paul and begins a ménage à quatre with her roommates.

Madeleine’s wardrobe is minimal yet stylish featuring lightweight sweaters, a tailored jacket and peter pan collars. All topped off with her heart locket, striped scarf and that wonderful haircut.

Pan-Fried Salmon Cakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 – 14.75 oz. can pink or red salmon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup fresh chopped parsley
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. Old Bay Garlic & Herb seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • Vegetable Oil

Directions

  1. Drain salmon and remove skin and bones.
  2. Mix salmon, eggs, cracker crumbs, milk and parsley in medium bowl. Add salt, pepper and seasoning and mix until seasonings are incorporated.
  3. Divide mixture into six even portions, then pat into round cakes approx. 1/2 inch thick on wax paper.
  4. Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in large skillet to 350 degrees. Place 2-3 salmon cakes in oil and fry until golden brown on each side, turning halfway through cooking, approx. 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining salmon cakes.
  5. Serve with tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or aioli.

Dress Like Joan Holloway

February 4th, 2010

Joan Holloway is Sterling Cooper’s resident bombshell. Her office style is sexy without showing it all. Think pencil skirts, bold shades, buttoned up blouses and figure hugging dresses that emphasize the waist. Oh, and don’t forget your red lipstick! To pull off Joanie’s look confidence is key.

Simplify

February 3rd, 2010

I’ve been feeling the need to simplify things for some time now. Running an online shop plus a completely separate blog was getting to be too much. Vintage clothing is my passion and that is where I want my focus to be. So, I have decided to combine all of the things I love into this one space. Night Owl Notes.

I’ve just updated the shop with some darling dresses. They range from the 1960’s to 1970’s. I wanted the blue one on the top left for myself but size wise it wasn’t meant to be. Anyway, hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend. Enjoy!

Show & Tell : Pyrex Bowl

January 20th, 2010

IMG_0742_1

I’m so excited to be part of James’s Show & Tell feature! I found this blue scroll pattern Pyrex serving bowl at a yard sale almost 3 years ago. I was so excited because it was still in it’s original box and had a little brochure with it. This bowl started my obsession with Pyrex and now I have well over 75 pieces.
