The Mantle

It took all my energy to get the mantle decorated for Christmas.  I love having a double shelf for some of the Santa collection.

1920s Radio

This radio sits in the entryway and is in pretty good condition.  It belonged to a great uncle. A few watermarks appeared after it was placed in the entryway when the kids, when they were little, would shake off their snowy coats.  It still works, but we don't play it, as it is very expensive to replace the old bulbs.

No Gravy...No Pie

I spent Thanksgiving Day alone on the couch.  In the evening Mike brought me home a plate.  No gravy and no pie.  He forgot those important items, but it tasted good anyway.  It was Wendy's 35th birthday and I missed spending time with her - bummer.

100.7

Nope, not a radio station, but my temperature.  I've been sick twice this month with the flu.  Probably the H1N1 and it's no fun.

Eye Candy

I've been trying to organize my studio so that I can find what I need when I need it and not waste so much time looking.  I have a very old wood file cabinet with drawers and pull-out sections that I love, and purchased a few years ago.  It was on layaway for a number of months.  It's one of my most favorite pieces, and now more useful than ever.

Printer

My printer has been very tempermental of late, so I became very tempermental and threw it out.  I cannot do without one as I use it almost every day with my jewelry business.  So here's my early birthday present.  It's wireless too.

Favorite Movie

If one were to would ask anyone in my family what my most favorite movie of all time is they would quickly answer: An Affair to Remember, starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr.  It was made in 1957 and I watch it every  year.  I have the VHS, but no player anymore. It happened to be on TV tonight. I'm going to have to find it on DVD. (This movie may be why I like Sleepless in Seattle so much.)  Didn't break my record - I've yet to watch it without crying at the end.
