Honey had an excellent intuition yesterday to swing into a consignment shop where our friend Ruth used to volunteer. We strolled in, and in the first 30 seconds we made two important discoveries: our neighbor Barbara, who was working there that day, and a set of sterling silver animal birthday candle holders. Shall I break that down? Birthday candle holders. Shaped like animals.
They were so lovely we bought them up, just like that. And then when our friends came over for dinner, we knew what we had to do.
Our friend Sean said it was a little like choosing your monopoly piece – it was fun seeing which animal each person wanted most.
We’ll all have extra birthdays this year!
