I just love the gorgeous color on the jar! I had to laugh (well not really) when I looked around at things these etsy sellers call vintage and realize that some of them were things I’ve used in my lifetime. Oh dear, I’m now vintage!

Have a wonderful weekend with your family!

My Nanna always wore an enameled daisy pin like that, she had the red white and blue and some yellow and orange. I always think of her when i see them. Have a great weekend!

Memorial day is really a great event. Here in Germany the people unfortunately forget about the sacrifices our soldiers made for us. That’s a shame.
