one of my favorite estate sale finds of the summer. it's a chalkware dog bank won as a prize at a carnival. it stands about a foot and a half tall. these are so rare that despite my avid estate sailing, i've never seen one or even known about them. so i read up on them and learned that chalkware prizes were made from the 1920s-50s, and are quite breakable because the material is so soft and fragile. another reason they're not around much is because the banks had no hole at the bottom to retrieve the money, so they were usually smashed. you can see that this dog's nose has been broken and glued before. it's the perfect housewarming gift for t.


horrible photo of an amazing deviled egg platter. it's motivation for making deviled eggs, which i'll be doing today. i can't deal with it being empty. it's pretty crazy to think that deviled eggs were/are so popular that platters were made specially for them. deviled eggs, big-time all-the-rage.


one of the funniest things in the world to me [holiday market]. so happy to finally have a picture of it.
