@kinworn - I cut out fizzy drinks years ago - and use gin to cover the taste of diet tonic :-)

LOL Jimmie - well that's mainly the guys - but you'd be surprised what you see in Thai party spots!
I'm hoping to visit later this year - I tried to go in 1989 - but that's a whole other wizz!

I always did think of antique as very old and vintage as from an era gone by, as you've said. You have a very impressive site - I am going back for a longer look now.

I love the bag in the intro, gorgeous. And the cherry blossom one is fabulous too.

@Judy, Wow, your Valentines are so beautiful. I will link to your site here.

kinworm - they are all so pretty aren't they. I too like the tumbled stones. My friend really believes in the powers of gemstones and is starting to make me believe in them as well. She does carry different stones around in her purse depending on the month and how she feels. I think I may try it. Thanks for reading and commenting.

This is a trend that is just not going away. It keeps redefining itself.

The cookie cutters are awesome. My college age daughter is into martial arts, and I think I may have to buy those to take the cookies to her. She would get a real kick out of that. :)

I love the look and simplicity of these cookies. And you make it look so easy. I may just have to whip out my baking stuff to make these.

I used to run a coffee shop in the Borders store in my neighborhood, and the thermal pump pot above is what we used to store coffee for many years. They work great, and the coffee tastes fresh.

Really thoughtful article. I enjoyed reading through. With my parents, just getting them to turn on the phone long enough to be reached is the issue. :)

Really beautiful blues in these. When did you say you were going to get me one? Just kidding. :)

yes, I create them too ! www.sailorsvalentineart.com

Hi Mandeesears - I thoroughly agree! I'm not the most romantically minded of people, but this one made me squee.

Very cute cake and great how-to photos.
