Dear Holiday Party Attendees (30 Christmas Convo Starters)
It's that magical time of year where we come together to celebrate the joy of the season, to swap cookies, and gifts, and partake in general merriment. The holidays are the BEST -- well, they can be the best, but they can also be a time where strangers are forced to exchange awkward, obligatory small talk at various social gatherings.
Dear Treasures (& Trash) at the Thrift Store
There's no greater thrill than the discovery of a dusty relic on the bottom shelf, strewn amongst broken dollar store dishes or piled with reproductions of a similar aesthetic. I LIVE for the moments in which I carefully uncover these treasures, turning them over in my hands to investigate for makers' marks, running my fingers over the edges to feel for fleabites, peering at the imperfections to determine age or signs of provenance.
