Braised chicken thighs in white wine and mushrooms: How to prepare a delightful dinner in an antique/thrift store
The truth is laid bare before you: now you see why the kitchen desperately needs a re-do. Besides being outdated, it was shoddy work in the renovation done before we bought the house and it has not aged well. We … Continue reading
The Warehouse, formerly known as the living room
Yesterday the cabinets were delivered, and as previously mentioned, sometimes items that are built for 2021 are not always compatible with an older house…like the hall design with 4 doors that open into the T at the head of the … Continue reading

Poppies on Porcelain: Ivory Porcelain by Sebring
In addition to this small plate, the pattern that Replacements, Ltd. called “green and red floral pattern” is found on a square plate shape with fluted edges and a green border. The flowers appear to be poppies to me. Sebring … Continue reading
Got Milkglass? Or Platonite?
In the “life-long learning” category, I recently learned about Platonite…a patented glass making process from Hazel Atlas Glass. Hazel Atlas was the first glass company in the United States to produce colored transparent dinnerware for “the common housewife” and everyday … Continue reading

Sherbet anyone?
In preparing for the kitchen re-do, I have been cleaning out the china cabinet. These ice cream/sherbet dishes, manufactured by the Libbey Glass Company, had been a staple in the soda fountain business of yesteryear. Obviously, Grandma wished she had … Continue reading
