New Treasures


My mom added a few great things to her etsy shop last night, including a convex glass frame, a sterling silver spoon, and a set of decorative tin hot plates.  Head over to see what else she has in store.  She's really excited about her shop, and I'm so happy she finally has it going.  I've been wanting her to open up shop for a while now.  Since I closed my vintage etsy shops (primarily due to lack of space for anything), I'll be giving you updates to hers every now and then instead.  You might like what she has in store. I do. I always want to go shopping in her garage when I visit! It's like being at a flea market.

Beautiful Breakfast


I have a cool husband.  He sends me links to all kinds of neat things he thinks I'd like.  Today he sent me this link, which leads to an article about Jennifer Rakowski's Breakfasts--or rather the pictures she takes of them--and her new book showcasing her beautiful breakfasts.  I usually stand at the counter eating the other half of Lois's banana or some such rushy, not pretty, not sit down meal.  I think her pictures have inspired me to have better, prettier breakfasts from now on.  Or maybe I'll just look at her pictures as I stand at the counter with my half banana.
