New Year Happenings

Last time I wrote, I was itching and very grumpy! Happy to say the problem was solved, and I now have no more itch!!! Yea for me!! Won't go into detail, but am happy now that I can wake up to a new day without dealing with that anymore. :-) Last week was quite cold, and was very happy to say that it was sunny and in the 50's today, although that is soon to be replaced once again with rain. I will take it as it comes. Last Saturday was our local flea market. I went and found a few treasures. A beautiful rose plate(cookie), a beautiful old box that was made in the 40's or 50's with carved details, really hard to describe, but I love it. It will hold special pictures, or perhaps jewelry, and last but not least, three old books. I love birds, and this book has really neat, pictures by Fern Bisel Peat. Dated 1931, so perhaps not known now, but really beautiful, full page pictures that could be framed, if I wanted. A cat book, with lots of Confucius quotes, and Chinese drawings of cats. Really neat, read it cover to cover already, then last a book from 1891 titled Common Words Difficult to Spell. Guess you can tell I like old books!! Today, my husband and I attended a anniversary party, it was such fun to visit with friends, and have wonderful things to eat. Also a live band(very good I might add) and so got a few dances in as well. Antique club on Tuesday. Will post about that soon. Antique Rose
