A few favorite things on Election Day

Brown transferware miniature plate and a shell.


Everything in my kitchen nook.


Staffordshire jockey lamp. One of a pair.


Second jockey. I love the handmade silk shades too.


Sugar bowl with architectural etchings.

Some of my antiquarian books with leather bindings.

One photo from yesterday that I liked.

I voted today and we had new voting machines at the firehouse. It's close enough to walk but I drove since we don't have sidewalks or shoulders on my two lane road. I woke up at 4:30 this morning and went outside to see the progress of the eclipse of the moon. It was at about 50% so I looked and went back to bed.

Pam, I'm happy to share and thanks so much for enjoying my things and commenting. Dusting is my least favorite thing to do because I have too many things. xo, Rosemary

Rosemary, where did you get that wonderful sugar bowl? For some time now, I've been pining for a Herend tea set in their Queen Victoria pattern - tea pot, coffee pot, sugar bowl, creamer, and tea cups with saucers. Purchased new, they are quite expensive, however I have found much more reasonable priced on sites such as Live Auctioneers. Have not yet made the leap. There is always some more important expenditure that comes up.

Lisa D. -- It shouldn't come as a shock to learn I got this architectural sugar bowl from a thrift shop for $3.50 and I remember buying it because I thought it was so wonderful. It's marked Kew Gardens fine china on the bottom. I hope that Herend tea set turns up quite unexpectedly for you one day. xo, Rosemary
