VNA today

We had a good day today.

I helped my Husband in some writing this morning, we had 

breakfast, got to the VNA after 10 AM and by a miracle

got a great parking spot (after thinking we had to park

somewhere else and shuttle in but my Dad thought to drop us off

first and then do that and ended up getting a parking spot as close as

was really possible and it was a real BLESSING!).

***

I got some surprising finds, 

a tea pot that my Husband loved, 

beautiful Minton's plates;

I found some beautiful wine goblets but I did not 

fully track the fact that they are older and therefore have lead in them.

But my research so far says that for special occasions + using vinigar

will not cause harm, though not for children's or Mom-to-be's use.

Still, I wish I had realized that.

Will be pretty for Christmas and super special occasions. 

***

We found some neat spoons (again 2$/spoon) and a flat spoon

that will be great for loose tea + sugar tongs that are really nice,

a beautiful small serving bowl, a Ansley canister that I will put tea in,

a small Wedgwood jam jar that I am going to use for sugar,

a gold and white small plate as well.

It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm. 

Tomorrow DV is my parents last day here.

It's been SUCH a blessing to have them here this week...
