Good Times and Junk Shop Finds

I wanted to make a post about Thanksgiving break, but didn't get all the photos ready until today.  So here it is, better late than never!  Apologies for lack of people pictures.  I'm leery of using my children's photos on the web.  I can barely stand to see myself here.

This is my favorite corner in the kitchen, and I was having a busy day.

Carrot cake and pumpkin pies, my downfall [that, and the Negra Modelo]  :)

Turkey turned out great.

Cooks at the stove on Thanksgiving Day.  :)

Wonderful photography exhibit

Original bank vault

Beautiful old building

This alcove was added for a movie shot.  Anyone recognize this?

Street scene, charming old buildings, and young love

Junk shop finds from the stores on Main Street in Taylor.  Everything was cheap at half off!  The frame is new, unused from Pottery Barn and it was only $7.50.

Champagne glass, one of five

Manhattan pattern compote

Pretty framed botanicals

Laughing Lab tavern glass

Gorgeous antique ring (carnelian?) backlit by the sun. It's a perfect fit!
