WOW...
Time sure does fly !!!
We blinked & before we knew it a season had past.
Last time we posted anything was in the Fall !!!
& now it's Spring !!!
We've planted some seeds & we're ready to grow.
We've embarked on a new adventure...
& we've enlisted the help of Lorraine's husband, Joe...
We started this out of necessity...
After being laid off last June, Joe has been unable to find a job in this economy.
Like everything else in our country...we do not embrace anything old, although, Joe is not "OLD" he is 53 years "YOUNG".
This doesn't just apply to people, it applies to objects as well.
We have no respect for things from the past.
We tear down history & replace it with something new.
Maybe it is because we are a young country, but we need to learn to respect our country's history. When we visited the Mediterranean, we saw how their history is so woven into their culture. The people there all seem to respect architecture, art, as well as older people.

With age comes wisdom.
So, enough with the rant...we have decided to try & save things from the dump.
We will clean out a house, an attic, a basement, a yard, or garage & instead of dumping it all, we will try & sell or donate the contents.
After all...
You know the "Old" Saying...
"One person's trash is another person's treasure".
or
As we would say...
Mixing the "OLD" with the "NEW" is what "WE DO" !!!

You are so right and kudos to you both for preserving all these beautiful old pieces that you find (not Joe of course!). They will live on forever and in addition you are helping the planet by recycling them from one person to another! I love my vintage Pyrex dish and 4 ramekins that I got from you!
