Union Jack. What a find!!! This is my find of the year, so far. ...I've been looking for one of these for Lewi's room for a long time now. So lovely. It was very dusty...all those wars, I'm sure. The holes...do you think they are bullet holes?  I'm positive they are;) I bet if this flag could talk it'd have a few stories to tell us. If not, I bet I could make some up.

A cute Agee dish. Lynda told me it was actually the lid off a casserole dish and she's right. You could use the lid as a dish too. So practical in the good old days...

Everyone needs an Eiffel Tower...or two.

I love these Twining tins. I love how Allison Jones used them as herb containers for her kitchen window sill. I put Lewi's newest cactus in it.
