My Very First Auction
Remember how I wrote about wishing I could buy a bunch of white plates in different styles and have those be my “nice” china pieces? How I thought it would be so pretty to see a variety of white plates on my dining room table? Do you remember that? Well, I gave up on the idea because, even at it’s cheapest, it would still cost well over $100, and at it’s most expensive, it could have cost up to $1000. Well…for $15 dollars I’m a bit closer...

I bought this suitcase on a thrifting excursion. I’m not sure what I liked so much about it, but I had to have it. You can see a color shot of it here. If I traveled more, this would be my suitcase.

When we go to family dinner on Sundays at the in-laws’ house, Nikki always tries to sneak away to watch one of their “old movies.” This makes E feel very old. I told him, how do you think it makes me feel. Nikki is becoming quite the movie buff. Her favorite kind of movie is the Superhero Action Flick. We let her watch more movies than most people allow their child to watch, it’s the way my husband grew up and he doesn’t see a problem with it. And... Read More
