We Purchased a Delft Creamer Set from You….

Dear Madeleine,
 
The Delft set arrived today and it is even more adorable than the online photo.  I simply love it!

We have a new delft product, the silver plated tea strainer.

Snow and more Snow!

 For just the fun of it and for the many of you who live in warm places, I thought I would share some of our snow!
Here’s a few photos of our last blizzard, our drifts and us digging out of our place around our store and the back of it
