I’ll admit that at times i may go a little overboard on some things. But I have my weaknesses like everybody else. The difference is that my weaknesses aren’t shopping for myself, or getting the latest and greatest car. Instead, my weaknesses are kids costumes, anything miniature (and in bulk is a bonus), and dining/serving pieces. Sometimes Micah rolls his eyes, but I know he loves that I love them. In fact, prior to a dinner party I threw last night, he said to me, “Babe, you really do have cool stuff.” And I would totally agree. My two latest purchases…..
I saw this little menu holder at Mckee & Co. just before my birthday last year. Unfortunately, our France trip covered our gifts to each other. So instead of hinting around it to Micah, I purchased it, had them wrap it, and opened it by my lonesome on my big day.
I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. And quite honestly, when I heard the ladies ooh and aah over it in the next room, I was thrilled.

The purchase before my menu holder was while we were in France. Poor Micah was outside with two rambunctious kids. I told him I HAD to run into the french restaurant supply store we happened upon. He was so nice, and I zipped through that place WAY TOO QUICKLY. But while zipping, I saw the most darling ramekins. I knew I HAD to have them. Unfortunately, they only took cash, and I was limited. But I bought all I could with the amount I had on me. (Micah had more, but I thought I may be pushing my luck if I asked.) This was the first time I have brought them out, and I chose to fill them with vanilla ice cream to accompany the desserts.
I die over the heart handles, and the word “France” that is stamped into them. I also die over how they frosted up as they held the cold ice cream.
Don’t worry — they oohed and aahed over these too. Luckily I still had the receipt, and one of the lady’s husbands is a regular to France, because I am hoping to complete my collection. I have 8, and am hoping for 12. I actually could have bought the 12 at the time, but I couldn’t pass up the extra large one of these that will be perfect for a Thanksgiving side dish.
