The Chef and I did not need more dishes of any kind, but I couldn’t resist these small beauties. Not only are they stunning… they belonged to the late, legendary entertainer Rose Marie.

Dishes
I plan on using them as often as I can.

Cuteness for days
Recently I bought the loveliest, sweetest Victorian mini-mirror.
It lives on my dresser, alongside a bunch of other pretty but almost wholly unnecessary bits and bobs.
A few days ago, I decided it would be fun to photograph images reflected in the mirror.
Quite the challenge, that.
First up? An image of myself, because it is the easiest thing to do with such a tiny mirror.
