This is the question I’ve been getting a lot lately. If someone comes over and I show them my two antique purchases from China, they definitely have it on their mind. I bought an old shutter from an ancient Chinese house that I thought would look super cool on my wall [now just have to figure out where to put it]…as well as an antique Chinese wedding basket that looks kind of like this. (If you’re wondering why the pictures have been lacking on this blog lately, it’s because my Canon died…might have something to do with the time Megan dropped it). So, all pictures have been coming from google images lately.
Kind of like this, but way more banged up...(hey, it's an antique!)
Comes apart like this - supposedly used for bring food to weddings (but who am I to say??)
My BFF couldn’t wait to hear Buddy’s reaction to these purchases, because if your husband is anything like mine, the phrase, “What are you going to do with that?” just rolls off his tongue way too easily. (He must’ve transitioned into some sort of purchasing cannatonic state, because he wasn’t even phased).
Anyway – I’ve been getting this question a lot lately. From wedding basket purchases to a degree I’m about to finish…what are you going to do with that? Concerning school, my belief that this degree might actually be finished is starting to gain traction – all the little ducks are lining up and since that has been my goal for so long, I am suddenly aware of the next question:
Now what?
I really don’t know what a wedding basket is for, nor do I know what my diploma will be for, but as you can imagine, I have some thoughts…see you tomorrow!
