Did you know that dating, as we think of it, didn't really exist until the 1920's?
Up until that time, a young man would be chosen by the family to court, or "come calling" on the young lady.
With the promise of a new year, I bought a swanky new monthly planner. As I tried to figure out my goals for the coming months, I couldn't help but look back on all the changes that came about last year. With the clarity of a Monday morning quarterback, here was the gift of hindsight.
Prohibition only drives drunkenness behind doors and into dark places, and does not cure it or even diminish it.” – Mark Twain
I had no intention of getting another dog- thanks, social media. Bella's our big girl, and little Sophie is her brand new pal. Bella couldn't be happier, I think she's always been a momma at heart.
Zelda's a new Flapper girl. She's far too loud and bossy. Or so she's been told. At 21 years old, she wasn't yet married, and still living in Sheepshead Bay, New York with her father and younger sister, Rose.
Olive, pine or emerald. The shade doesn't matter much. Olivia's favorite color has always been green.
She grew up in the Bronx, NY, where there were only small swatches of it to be seen, in too few months of the year. Except when she worked with her father.
I'm not a fan of washcloths and plastic poofs, but I wanted something to hold the soap lather and gently exfoliate my skin in the shower. This sponge is just the right size and holds the lather well.
This soap smells so clean and fresh. It makes me think of summer, and lemonade, and all things citrusy and bright. It's like a bar of sunshine!
In my enclosed shower wow wow wow it's like showering in a lilac forest what a way to wake up so thank you Valerie

I love this soap. I haven’t purchased one that I don’t love. I given it as gifts. My friends are loving it too!
Love every soap I have purchased! My skin feels like silk!
Absolutely love them!
The Vanilla Bean candle smells like you are inside the cake. It is subtle, warm, and sweet. It is the fastest way to make your house seem like you were just baking something delicious. I love to burn this upstairs so the scent drifts downstairs and tickles your nose with a hint of sweetness. The burn time is so good, the candles last a good while. This is winter/holiday favorite.
This is my favorite candle. I love the scent of brewing coffee and this candle perfectly encapsulates it. The burn time is wonderful. The scent is strong enough to fill a few rooms without being overwhelming. This is my go-to when I cook shrimp or broccoli. I also keep a few on hand for throw down gifts. Cuppa Joe candle and a gift certificate is how you get them hooked.
Smells amazing! I haven't tried them yet. I received my order today and can't wait to use them. Shipping was very fast, the soaps were beautiful and they all smell great!
Sturdy and effective in keeping our lovely soaps dry and not getting mushy!
