Camping and Flea Market Finds

I've neglected this blog most shamefully. We just got back from camping at the Pinery and it was wonderful. My pictures are up on Flickr.
This is just a quick update as I MUST go wash the bathroom floors..
I wanted to show you some photos of a couple of things I picked up at the Flea Market.
I don't know what possessed me.

Here they are:

The coffee pot was $6. It say Wm. Rogers. I thought it was a pretty good price. Have no idea what I'm going to do with it though.

And the cream pitcher and sugar bowl came with on the little tray. A set for $12. They don't match though and the little tray is nothing special. I think the creamer is the best of the bunch - it also says Wm. Rogers. The suger bowl is not marked and is a different metal.

If any of you, have any use for this stuff or know someone who would like it, just speak up.

Those are great finds, you should absolutely keep them. They'd be great on a desk holding office supplies, or on a craft table. I've got bits and pieces of old pottery I use.

Knitting and Party Outfits

First, inspired by Brooklyn Tweed's lovely striped Noro scarf, I have started knitting my own Noro striped scarf. Here's a photo of the work in progress. Second, in a wild and crazy mid-life crisis kind-of-moment, I purchased a wild and crazy (for me) party dress. Here's a picture of Hart and I off to Auntie Gloria's party. I felt I needed to do this before I turn 50 and while my weight was down. I AM planning on keeping the weight off. The secret to getting on a dress like this (which has a lining that you can't see) is to leave it on the hanger and "dive" up to the light. If you don't do this, you risk getting tangled in the lining. You also have to watch how you sit since you don't want to bend the sequins when you sit down. I can report that the party was wonderful, the food was great, the decor was beautiful and it was great to see people we haven't seen in a while.

Who looks like who?

Cookie Jar

My sister Anne discovered some retro cookie jars recently and one of them reminded her of the one that was in our house when we were growing up. A search of the archives has turned up this photo. You can see our actual cookie jar on the kitchen counter. I remember taking this picture and thinking that the contents of the cupboard would be interesting to us in the far distant future.
