Bliss & Tell Branding Co. Giveaway!
***This giveaway is now closed*** Several months ago I received an e-mail from Reni of Bliss & Tell Branding Company. She was interested in advertising on my blog.

Latest Ironstone Finds
I don’t try to hide the fact at all that I love ironstone. I spotted it about 12 years ago in a magazine and the love has remained constant. I’ve waffled on crazy quilts, baby dresses, milk glass and silver plate, but I have never waffled on ironstone. My collection has grown to the point […]
What price is right?
I receive a lot of questions through comments and e-mail and one of the things I’m asked most about is pricing. When you’re selling pieces as a part of your business, how do you know what number you should put on the tag? I wish I could just throw out a perfect formula like investment […]

My *plans* have been derailed so often lately that I’m hesitant to use the word. I’m afraid my spleen will burst or we’ll have an epic snow storm in April or maybe lose power for two days. Who knows. I am just using the word *plans* generally. So, when I planned to go to Lucketts […]
