Brrrrrrr, it was, and still is bitterly cold. According to the weather people there are no records showing any colder temperatures than yesterday, and today could be another. Three weeks ago I was in Boston where it was in the sixties. Yesterday it was around 4 degrees and with the winds it felt

On a day when most of us are mindful and thankful I can't help but think about the roads not taken, the things left unsaid, and most assuredly the things that can't be changed. Learning to move forward, no matter what is essential to not living in regret. Yes I have thought about people no longer

This is a lovely sterling silver overlay swan platter. It is something that I acquired years ago and never used. I had it in a glass cabinet and decided someone should really be able to use it and I don't. It is stamped sterling in numerous places and has some good weight to it.

I have a space in a local antique gallery where I work on Sundays. There are 42 different dealers so things change often. When things sell I bring in new things to replace what is gone. Seasons bring changes as well. Last week I added some blinking lights and some bows. It looks lovely but doesn'

It's snowing where I live now. It isn't heavy but it is constant. This morning I saw a little red friend outside and snapped a sequence of photos. Fortunately I have a good camera with a better zoom lens so I cam do my photography from inside my home. It's really cold outside. Be safe little Red,

I am not talking about a place or even jazz. i am actually talking about the amazing birds I see in my neighborhood year round. In the cold, wind and snow it is hard not to be amazed by the little ones who always seem to weather the season. These were taken in the last couple of days. Not every b

This is my day to work at the antique gallery where I have a space. It is really cold and there maybe snow later. That said I enjoy seeing the new old things that have come in between my visits. Yesterday I put some additional lighting up and hung some rugs on the wall. I don't have the best spac

I was thinking for the last couple of days how many things, mostly simple, tend to make me happy. On Thursday night it snowed heavily where I live and I was sooooooo happy to be home, warm, surrounded by my gang and content. Contentment is a magical thing and is often downplayed.I have already en
