Coconut Walnut Bread
Several people requested the recipe for the yummy Coconut Walnut Bread that is a fixture at Kirby House in Abilene Kansas. Enjoy!
2 C. flour
1 3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/3 C. sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda
2/3 C. vegetable oil
2/3 C. buttermilk
1/2 C. flaked coconut
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp. coconut flavor
1/2 C. chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and spray bottom of loaf pan with non-stick coating.
Mix dry ingredients in large mixing bowl.
Add oil, buttermilk, coconut, eggs, coconut flavor & walnuts to flour mixture. Mix with electric mixer just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Pour into prepared pan and bake 1 hour & 15 minutes or until done with toothpick test. Do NOT open oven door during baking process to avoid having bread sink in the center.
Let cool in pan on wire rack; When cool run knife around pan edges and remove bread. Wrap and store in fridge or freeze for up to 2 months. Do NOT cut until chilled and firm.
After slicing you may want to butter and lightly grill on both sides. Delicious!

SECOND MARKET A ROUSING SUCCESS!
I knew when I walked over to open the market at 8 a.m. and saw five times as many people lined up as last year that it would be a great day! Many thanks to my dealers who made this a memorable and fun event.
The crowds never let up and I was still selling merchandise as we were tearing down. The weather cooperated for the most part, the tea room was a hit, and we got lots of positive feedback from our many customers. I've already got some ideas for next year and hope I can make it bigger and better!
Hope to see you all next year...mark your 2011 calendars for Saturday May 7th!

REMEMBER! RAIN or SHINE
Don't forget that Bluebird's Vintage Market will be held RAIN or SHINE! I was lucky to get notices in both the Springfield News-Leader May calendar pages and the Weekend Section so it's creating a lot of interest. The merchandise will be inside, out of the weather. We'd love to have a balmy 70 degree day with gentle breezes and sunshine but if not...we're prepared!
Here's the sign to look for ... when you see this you're nearly there...
A couple of dealers have brought some things on over and started setting up and I must say I'm really excited at the things I've seen. There's a wide variety of goods so you're sure to find several "must haves".
The mini tea room my daughter Natalie is setting up promises to be memorable. Here's a sampling of the menu items...my Granny Bridges chocolate cake ... Mom's Apple Pie ... Coconut Walnut Bread from the recipe used at Kirby House Tea Room in Abilene, KS ... and we're planning to offer the sweetest, reddest, most mouthwatering Ozark-grown strawberries. Are you hungry yet? That's just to whet your appetite. Everything is homemade except the doughnuts so if you forget breakfast you can have one of those with a steaming cup of coffee.
And more good news for shoppers: local delivery is available for large purchases. The details will be worked out with buyer and the delivery person but it's nice to know you don't have to pass up a larger piece of furniture if you see it.
Thanks in advance to my dealers for supporting this sale every step of the way. They are the best! And also my daughter who is coming in from Kansas to arrange the Tea Room. Last but never least, my wonderful mother, Juanita Bridges, who has worked by my side tirelessly checking off one "to do" list then starting another one. Whether it's laundering vintage linens and ironing them with just the right amount of 'real' starch, baking up a slew of pies, or whisking away a cob web, she has been there all the way.
Hope to see you all Saturday! It's gonna be a lot of fun :)

Busy Busy Busy
I'm busy as a bee preparing all the details for Bluebird's Vintage Market this Saturday, May 1st! I was down at the farm today and here's the relaxing country view from the barn where the sale is to be held...
Here's another view of "P" Highway and a neighboring farm...
I'll post the directions again...
Watch for "Bluebird Vintage Market" blue and white signs! Most will have blue mylar star balloons attached.
One mile south of Republic at Rolling Acres Farm
From South Main Street and Rte. 60 drive one mile south (Main turns into State "P" Hwy)
At Farm Road 194 turn left (east); you'll see the Rolling Acres sign on the corner
Take the first right into the farm lot where you'll park, then look for the chicken house and you're there!
See you on Saturday!
