One man’s junk is another's treasure



Family members of our dear neighbor Margarette Mackenzie, tossed this lovely vase into the trash while they were emptying out her house in order to put it on the market. MeMa rescued it and I cut a few sprays Cymbidium orchids from my greenhouse and beauty has been restored. I have no idea the history of this piece but it looks great on the mantle.

  1. I'm glad you all rescued that vase. It is so neat. How sad they didn't want it.
    Hope you're all doing well!

  2. Hi Linda,
    Yes, we are all doing quite nicely here and with such mild wet weather. I hope all is well on your side.

  5. Grouch,
    I said the same thing to an acquaintance. Then one day I received an orchid as a gift. That was seventy some orchids ago, but then I have a tendency to pass on the shallow water and leap into the deep with any interest that strikes my fancy. They really are quite rewarding.
