I hope everyone's Holiday has been special and full of family and friends. Mine definitely was. Especially since I've gotten gifts that I actually LIKE! For instance my Granny - who usually gives me girdles and highwater panties - gave me this really beautiful ceramic leaf dish. I love the colors and the faux woodgrain underbelly - it's very 70's. Luckily, over the years, my Granny has given me some really amazing antique pieces of furniture - which was really helpful when I got my first place and had a limited budget. Don't be afraid to hit up relatives for furniture. I'm still trying to convince my Granny to give me one of her antique carved Japanese Dragon chairs (*see below). She hasn't said yes...YET.
