Bowls, Birds and Babies


What a weekend.
I hardly remember a thing.
Except that I had a migraine, and slept very little on Saturday night.
Famke and I were engaged in DEEP conversation. Her end of it was chipper and delightful.
I think I promised her a pony if she would just close her eyes and sleep. Oh, well. As it turned out, I will not need to get her a pony.
I think I slept it all off last night. I didn't become fully awake until about 8:00 pm.
The picture above is of two more things I found at the new Salvation Army thrift store in Kalamazoo. I have been on the look out for blue striped bowls since I first saw them at least a decade ago on the cover of a magazine. Much of the 'antique' stuff at the thrift store was over priced, even by antique store standards, but these two bowls were not. And, as you know, one can NEVER have too many bowls about.
And the little white bird on the left? A friend of my sister's was at my house for a shower last year and noticed that I collected birds. Look what she gave me! A white bird!
See? I did get three new things in one picture. I didn't think these would do well in the hands of Jonge.
I am sort of counting on Famke being sleepy today. I hope so. I know I am. And, I cannot afford a pony.

Nice find.
I bought a bowl just like yours at Goodwill a couple years ago. Love it. Mine says "Made in England" on the bottom.

I'm laughing like crazy over the pony promise! Let's hope she doesn't have any memory of that one! I promised my daugher a hampster when she was little, I never got it for her and at 41 she still brings it up!!

why not? with all the money you saved getting those bowls at a good deal?
