Recent Finds

 For me shopping, most any kind of shopping is fun.  You go to the store and see all the beautiful things laid out before you to make your selection.  After surveying the offering and choosing just the right thing you get to take your treasures home with you.  The experience is even more thrilling when the treasures you find where once cherished by someone else and have now been given new life in your eyes and heart.  The item has a past life, a story, a history that for the new owner is often full of wonder and mystery.  This is not merely shopping, but treasure hunting.

What a treasure for the original owners of these sweaters to have a warm woolen garment.  Maybe they lived somewhere cold and the extra warmth was essential, or maybe their main thought was luxury and fashion. Oh yes! cashmere is quite a luxury.  Now they'll have a wonderful new life keeping sweet babes warm and snug.

How many sweet babes sat here?  Did they study the richness of the wood grain with their inquisitive little eyes as they discovered delicious new foods?  

What excitement the first rider of this trusty stead must have felt.  He waits patiently now in his new home, waiting for the next tiny rider.  I can see the joy on her face already, the sweetest of treasures.
