It’s that time again. You ask, and I pretend to know things and answer your burning questions. It really is so much fun to open my inbox and see the wide variety of questions you guys have. Reminds me that my readers are so diverse and pretty dang awesome. So keep those questions coming and I’ll keep racking my brain for answers. As always, please pipe up if you have any input or are knowledgeable when it comes to any of the following questions:
Hi Mavis! Love your blog and recipes. Do you have any good recipes for persimmons? I bartered with a friend and ended up with a bag of persimmons – he ended up with a bag of jalapenos. I’m not sure who ended up with the better deal. LOL thanks!

First, I love that you are bartering! Wahoo! Next, as far as the recipe question is concerned, I’m throwing that out to my readers. I’ve had persimmons but I’ve never used them in a recipe. Here’s hoping one of my smarty pants readers will have an amazing persimmon recipe for you {hint, hint readers}.

Daily reader here. Can I ask if you have the dimensions or layout of your master bathroom shower, tub and toilet enclosure (each section)? I want to do the same thing but I’m not sure I have the same space.

I feel like Chino was able to fit in everything I wanted into a small space.
I have a ‘hooking’ question too. 🙂 Do you sell your rugs and such, and if so, where? 🙂 Thanks so much!
~Bobbi
I do sell my rugs, actually, almost all of them. I’ve only ever kept one of the rugs I’ve made through the years. Now if I get my dream Salt Box house, I’ll sure as heck use a number of them to decorate! Until then, I sell them on my Etsy shop or on Ebay Auctions.
Here’s an interesting article about fighting the drought by eating ugly vegetables.

When I read about the drought in California. I am constantly reminded how good we have it here in the rainy Pacific Northwest. This was a great article that I would encourage my readers to take a look at, regardless of what region they live in, drought-stricken or otherwise.
Mavis – I’d like to ask you about the art/canvas you have on your living room wall (brown background, vase and flowers behind your brown sectional.) Does it have an artist name anywhere on it (front or back) that you could pass along please? I think it is lovely and would like to try and hunt down a copy.
Thanks!

This is a tricky one and I wish I could be more helpful. About 10 years ago it hung in my grandfather’s house. It was passed on to me and I love it. It fit the space perfectly. But I have absolutely no idea where he got it or who the artist is. I tried to research it a bit online, but it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Perhaps a reader is familiar with this artist or similar-looking paintings and could shed some light on it. Fingers crossed!
Have a question for me? Submit them HERE and I’ll try to answer them.
