Ho...Susan - Absolutely, pure therapy and pure joy. How fine that you found a piece with such a tie to the past for your friend. I could rhapsodize endlessly about thrift shops, estate sales, auctions (in North Caroline), swap meets, junk stores (and better) I have known. I am fortunate that the objects don't exactly speak to me as they do to our friends from The Cove, though ghost towns did. My sister swore she worked in a shop with haunted furniture, "haints" as they call them in Virginia. We will be there for the cake, a slice o' heaven. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-25035562359392593072013-11-14T08:24:49.717-08:002013-11-14T08:24:49.717-08:00i spent hours yesterday scouring the vendor stalls...i spent hours yesterday scouring the vendor stalls of a huge antique outlet in an old mill near here. i wanted to find just the right birthday gift for a friend.<br />i swear the time spent just looking, touching, remembering is pure therapy for restless souls like myself. i found something: a pitcher in the same earthenware pattern her mother used to have. i think she'll like it--at the very least, she'll know that i care. now i'm off to buy the ingredients for a dark, dark and moist ginger cake that i'm taking to her birthday gathering...i think you and Gloria and TRM would enjoy a slice!susan t. landryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454487318141469849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-78740485473411139442013-11-13T18:30:07.127-08:002013-11-13T18:30:07.127-08:00Erin - For the stainless, I think you're cover...Erin - For the stainless, I think you're covered. Gloria knows precisely who has run away with the spoon(s) and, should they appear again, they will have use of the stainless. Problem solved. They are not only our tribe, they are us, residing, it seems, within. The business about reading the history of the objects had me by the throat until I wrote it out for them. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-40232820461253689402013-11-13T12:01:02.089-08:002013-11-13T12:01:02.089-08:00As if reading, scones, tea and the occasional 1940...As if reading, scones, tea and the occasional 1940's Hawaiian shirt weren't enough - now a love for the vintage, the well worn and well loved objects of days gone by. These people are indeed of my tribe. I must admit to absconding with the occasional cappuccino spoon (never vintage silver ones, or even modern silver ones - always rather inexpensive stainless), and I do realize that the huge tips I leave in this case probably do not absolve me. <br />ErinErin in Morro Bayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06837848620673552009noreply@blogger.com
