Hi, All! Have to chime in on natural protocols vs. western med. It is highly recommended that a holistic practitioner guide you in natural treatment. I know of people who go online (honestly!) to find their treatments for cholesterol, BP, even cancer! That is foolhardy and probably not going to work. It seems expensive to go to naturopaths when insurance hardly pays any of it - even though the traditional methods/doctors cost a heck of a lot more - but if you are going to disregard a prescription that is recommended you really should have a guide in the natural medicine field so you are doing the highest, best thing for you. Believe me, I hate doctors and most of Western Medicine, but when hubby didn't like taking the prescribed statin, I made him go to a holistic M.D. for recommendations. As a result he's lost weight, lowered cholesterol, lowered BP, etc. but it wasn't just taking a magic pill instead of the statin. It meant somewhat of a diet, moderate exercise, supplements, and so on. One thing I do know, whether you treat cholesterol with statins or natural methods, be sure to also take CoQ10 as it is so depleted by ALL of these methods! We need a good level of that for our hearts. Anyway, that's my sermon. Just because your neigbor had good luck with gingko or melatonin or selenium for this or that doesn't mean you will.

I came across a ceramic candle holder that I've sold before and can't remember it's name/maker. Can I get back into my really old listings? It's one of those fat ones with a bulbous glass chimney. It's just plain ivory with 2 cobalt stripes around it. One the tip of my tongue but when I try to spit it out it comes out Dansk. It's not Dansk.

I had a buyer ask to send back 3 cups which I agreed to as she said they're not dark enough. They are the Imperial marigold cups with the flower on the bottom and I've only ever seen them in this one color. Could she be trying to match them to amber? Did these come in amber? She's going to send me a pic of hers so I can look at them just because I'm so curious!

I have inherited a Criss Cross reamer for the 3rd time! At this point you're lucky to get $5 for them but that first one brought about $25. It is a pretty thing. I also got in the same box of junk 2 Libbey of Canada glass cowboy boots. Ugh. I'm sure someone will adopt the ugly things. The prize was a Jenaer Glass Tea Pot with infuser and 8 Rose Point snack trays with cups. All that and a lot more doodads and thingamabobs for $5 for the giant box. Tail end of church sale.

It is not hot here on Cape Cod today. It is refreshingly cool although gray with chance of showers. I'll take it! So sick of humidity! Hope to see pretty snaps of all your finds today!!! I'm staying in and listing... nice lazy day.
