I kinda have this flimsy rule in my life:  
                            be careful what you say out loud

I always think that people have a certain expectation when you say something out loud…like…well, you said it, now do something about it!  That’s not always the case. 

Sometimes I just like to carry-on about things and have absolutely no intention of doing one single thing about it! 

But there’s always that nagging in the back of my mind….gee, I hope soandso doesn’t think I’m gonna do something about that now…..

This is a case where I would sincerely appreciate it if you would step forward on behalf of my *addiction* and have a huge expection of me doing somethin’ about what I’m about to say OUT LOUD!

I gotta get it out there cuz if I don’t there’s a distinct possibility this particular piece will disappear amongst my collection never to be talked about again!  Except for the occasional ooh & ahh by me as I pass by it, dust it (right.) or, perhaps, show it off!

Here it goes…it’s that collection that I love more than chocolate…more than shoes….

Dare I say…it’s an IRONSTONE CAKESTAND!

Here she is in all her glory…..

scallops…i feel faint!  and she’s stamped!  help me!

My palms are sweating!  But here’s the kicker….the part I can’t stand….the part I reallyreally don’t want to say out loud…..

This cakestand…did I mention 12″ across and in excellent condition…WILL BE at Marburger this Fall as in September 28th!

There.  I said it…out loud!
