Whatcha get?

So, what did everyone get for Christmas/Hanukkah gifts? I only read about what Emily at Sugar Plum got and we got the same gift. What about the rest of you?


This is what I did with both my gifts


Any ideas?

I got a Canon Macro lens.........

and a deshadow box. Neither came with instructions. Well the lens had a small sheet included in the box, but I need "Camera Instructions for Dummies"

My eldest daughter and I went to a couple antique shops yesterday. I was looking for Pyrex, but my favorite shop in town (that had a lot of Pyrex) closed. The other shop didn't have much and the stuff they had wasn't in any pattern I was interested in. But I have mentioned how I love cookbooks. I especially love ones from the 50's and 60's. This one was published in 1964, a couple years before I was born. It was in really good shape and only $1.75, so I had to take it home.

Here is the yellow bowl I bought at the Cooks on Crocus Hill shop I showed on my post about Whole Foods. It is small-maybe holds 2 cups. I really have no plan for it. I just loved the color and the shape.

My daughter's bought me the "Julie and Julia" DVD, so I watched that the other night. I just love that movie. It made me laugh, made me wipe away a few tears and has been making me sing "Lobsta Killa" around the kitchen.

So, I would love to hear what you got.

And who is making resolutions?
