1st of all, I love the name Camelotglass. It reminds me of JFK era, and the time of  simple elegance .

Camelotglass is a long time haunter of auctions, flea markets and second hand shops, her shop represents love of all things vintage. She deal primarily, but not exclusively, in vintage glassware (depression, carnival glass, elegant, vaseline, art glass, etc).She  also sometimes carry other vintage collectibles (metalware, vintage accessories, figurines, plates, etc).

One of my favorite items from her store ( perhaps because I grew up with a set)

Vintage Russian Matryoshka Nesting Dolls

Nesting dolls are the best known and most popular of all Russian souvenirs. The Russian word for these dolls is “matryoshka”, but they are also called matrioshka, matryoshkas, babushka dolls, babushka’s doll, matroshka, matryushka, and stacking dolls.

These dolls where a gift from a friend who went to Russia in the 1970’s and have been displayed since.

There are five (5) wooden dolls, the tallest is 7 ¼”. They are hand turned, painted with gorgeous reds blacks and gold from basswood then varnished.

These beautiful dolls will make a nice addition to your collection or serve as the perfect decorative touch to any cabinet.

Each vintage Jewelry seller has as Story on how they started. the Mother Daughter Team of Poshadornment is no different.

“I have been buying, collecting and selling antique, fine and vintage jewelry of all kinds for many years, lifetimes actually. As far back as I can remember my grandmother loved living during the Art Nouveau and Deco periods, collecting jewelry throughout her life; and even my great grandmother was an avid collector of Victorian and Georgian jewelry. Mom’s collection includes all that plus her own stash of fine Retro gold gemstone jewelry as well as a nice stash of turquoise and Native American. My daughter and I come upon our love of old jewelry honestly! After spending many years in a career as a practicing Homeopath, collecting jewelry, raising kids and healing the world, I decided to do what I most loved …sell antique jewelry. We run the gamut in our tastes and sell what we like. We specialize in antique period costume, estate and fine enamel jewelry, Bohemian Garnets, fine Czechoslovakian, Austro-Hungarian, Egyptian and more.”

They have several sites:

Well, it’s raining again. Outdoor end of the year picnics hav been cancelled or postponed to August.

Soccer games are being moved to turf fields because  sod/grass fields have become Marshes and swamps.

And so, what do I have planed for this Weekend.

Nice quiet indoor projects…..well, that would be nice.

But it’s  Girl scout Camping weekend. . Luckly , we will be sleeping in a nice dry cabins, but most of the activities, were suppose to be outdoors.

I really hate to admit this. But I have been watching.
“I am a celebrity, get me out of here”
It’s so terrible, but I can’t stop watching it.
I am amazed by what a train wreck that  Janice Dickinson is.
From her swollen lips, to her general attitude.
I feel sorry for everyone else in the jungle stuck with her.

So do you watch this show , or is it just me ??

woo hoo.
I am so excited.

I highly recommend The Scenic Route by Binnie Kirshenbaum .

As I write this blog post , I keep on coming up with all the reasons why I enjoyed the book. And  then, My browser crashes..

Of course, I didn’t save it , while i was composing. So I start over  and I find other reason why the book is so special.

This is amazon’s description:

Divorced, alone, and unexpectedly unemployed, Sylvia Landsman flees to Italy, where she meets Henry, a wistful, married, middle-aged expatriate. Taking off on a grand tour of Europe bankrolled with his wife’s money, Henry and Sylvia follow a circuitous route around the continent—as Sylvia entertains Henry with stories of her peculiar family and her damaged friends, of dead ducks and Alma Mahler. Her narrative is a tapestry of remembrances and regrets…and her secret shame: a small, cowardly sin of omission. Yet when the opportunity arises for Sylvia and Henry to do something small but brave, the refrain “if only” returns to haunt her, leaving Sylvia with one more story of love lived and lost.”

To me , Binnie Kirshenbaum Book is like a very good  bottle of wine. It is simple but complex with lots of layers.

The festival will showcase writers from the state of New Jersey and

Participants can attend panel discussions on a variety of topics and meet
the  authors up close and personal. Other activities include storytelling,
author  readings, a poetry slam, book signings, and much more. Thanks to New York
Life’s  sponsorship, the Children’s ID Bus will also be at the festival, providing
free ID  cards.
So far over 90 authors have committed to attend, and more are signing on

mission of the  Paramus Public Library, and every member library of BCCLS.
BooksNJ2009 is being sponsored in part by Berkeley College, the NJ State
Library,  New York Life, and the Town News.
