While returning from taking my daughter back to college after Thanksgiving break:
Me: If you went this way instead of that way, you could stop at the little junk shop.
Myself: We're not doing that this year. We're paring down our collection and reevaluating, remember?
Me: I know. But it's right on the way. It can't hurt to look.
Myself: We're too busy. We have work to do. We have boxes to pack. And we have a house to decorate.
Me (sighing): We never have any fun.
Myself: I know.
Suddenly, Myself reconsiders. The little junk shop is right on the way. It will only take a minute.
In fact, we don't even have to hunt for these.
The best thing about having an argument with yourself is that you always win.
p.s. The virtual vintage Advent calendar begins Monday on Facebook!
I've missed you, Barbara!! SO glad that "yourself" won on this one! Fabulous vintage ornaments were discovered - LOVE them.

If I were more limber I would have done a cartwheel upon seeing your post. You have been missed out here, Barbara. I was worried that you had given up on blogging and that would have been beyond sad.
So glad myself won out here. Such sweet treasures.
