Feast your eyes on &#8230; &#160; &#160; &#160; No, I&#8217;m not going to the auction. But I&#8217;m so happy to have my swoon-capacity back!]]></description>

There&#8217;s nothing like vintage perle cotton &#8230; kept in an old marinated artichoke jar.  The dryer sheet removes any musty odors on the perle and a precaution against lingering artichoke aroma. I love looking at the luscious luminance wound in a ball, the graphics on the labels. I love how the silky strands [...]]]></description>

The 16&#215;12 inch tin was once filled to the brim with German lebkuchen, lebkuchen being gingerbread cookies. Tins like this are still given as gifts around Christmas. In [...]]]></description>

That doesn&#8217;t mean, however, that function can&#8217;t be beautiful. It&#8217;s the little functional items in everyday life that can bring the most joy. Used day [...]]]></description>

We kept it simple at home this year &#8212; just my mom, brother, husband and I for a dinner of ham and sides with decadent cheesecake for dessert. I &#8220;cooked&#8221;. Here are the delicious mash potatoes I made. Shhhh, it&#8217;s a secret. Not really. Truth is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lucky, lucky me! Look what I found! Four boxes of vintage snack sets &#8212; all complete, no cracks or chips. Woohoo! Being in their original boxes just adds so much to the discovery. Safely storing the snacks sets is so much easier, not to mention that the vintage graphics are simply awesome. Although, only 2 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Clicking on links and more links, I came across a wonderful blog called Fresh Vintage. The lovely mermaid glasses caught my eye. How on earth, I thought, can she ever part with those!? They&#8217;re fabulous! There in lies my problem with being in the stuff business. I want to keep it all, every single beautiful [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Albuquerque last week, I saw 100&#8242;s and 100&#8242;s of bowlers. Male bowlers. Now, I won&#8217;t describe the stereotypical bowler that I saw as my husband was one of them. I&#8217;ll leave it to your imagination. While in town, I was so hoping to shop Albuquerque&#8217;s infamous 4th Street Antique Mile. Alas, it wasn&#8217;t meant [...]]]></description>

An ugly duckling for sure, but it was the perfect size the the itty-bitty corner in our itty-bitty dining room. I knew it would be perfect for my Blue Willow. With [...]]]></description>
