Oddly enough, my parents decided to visit my brother at about the same time so I got to see them too and my brother and s-i-l got to play host to far more folks than they probably would like. But it was nice to spend some time with just the brother. We went to Walden Pond and lots of Salvation Army stores. I bought far more than I should have and ended up having to ship a box of stuff back because I didn't have any extra space for packing breakables.
Someday I may get my act together enough to share what I found there. But for now, candlesticks. Milk glass candlesticks, which are hard to find. They don't match. Once upon a time I had a matching pair but then crazy Leo decided he needed to jump on top of the china cabinet and knock down a massive frame. The frame took out of the candlesticks and the glass from the frame and the candlestick shattered into lots of little pieces. So now I pretend that nothing was meant to match. Instead, we are eclectic and artsy!
