I got this silver tea set from Bear’s grandma. It’s a beautiful set of actual silver, but I can’t bring myself to polish it up. I really don’t have much call for formal tea parties, and the patina on this…

I took the quickest picture ever before tearing into this package of fabric because I couldn’t resist the wrapping. It’s just simple as can be, but when the fabric I order online is usually wrapped in plastic bags, I found…
