Daily Dose of Cute

Yep. It's a napkin ring. Porcelain, Enesco, Japan, 1976. How, I ask you, did all of those little bits survive intact for 35 years? I know that the other 3 that came with this one did not fare nearly so well. Those were re-donated, and I am keeping this little sweetie for myself. Her smiley eyes make me happy :)

Thursday's Treasure

Years ago I found one of these sewing cases in a thrift store. It was broken and dirty and $8, yet I still heavily considered buying it. I left it behind and never forgot how sweet it was, even in its state of disrepair.

I found this brand new one- with its original paperwork!- in an antique store last week. Can you believe it??? I mean, this is from the 50s! It was marked $20, but was on sale for 40% off. No way was I letting it get away.

Look at that swoon-inducing aqua color, and those sweet little kitties. This case was meant to be mine!
