I know this has nothing to do with weightloss but..

I had to tell someone! My boyfriends grandmother handed me down a really nice set of silverware, I've never had  "fancy" silverwarre before. So now when the prime minister comes to dinner I'll have salad forks lol. What I am so excited about though is that the box they came in looks pretty old, it is in super good shape because his grama is  prim and proper and so careful- btw super nice. Ok so I did some research on the brand Community and it goes back to the 1850's MY set came out in 1950. I love the 1950's and I love the idea that my silverwear is 61 years old, how cool is that! Anyways that is my excitement, and I am super proud lol!

    Nice! I love old stuff. My grandparents gave me their dressers & vanity that were gifts for their engagement.. 65 years ago. They are handmade & beautiful! I wish stuff was still made the way it was back then.
