I've never seen a gold spoon before that wasn't gold-plated or goldtone. First time for everything.
Brad's right about the new Fitz and Ffloyd pieces; they're made in China of poor quality pottery and chip easily. They do have a following, but...
Score! I'm not a "doll girl" but with all those clothes it has to be a score.
RE: we don't need no steenkin' mother-in-law (LOL) Not the sterotypical one anyway!
I think they've faded since, but they're good drinking mugs. I need to get pix, but I found a decanter today for a whole dollar. The more I...

Darned tootin! I found a few bits last weekend. The other silver bits are going straight to scrap, such as they are. Some other Christmas bits...
Mick Fleetwood is a law unto himself. I'm not a fan of mullets, but I suppose they're an improvement on man buns. Saw one of those, still or...
