Reason #497

So many reasons to love this house.  Reason #497 circles around the objects contained in our house, many of which are vintage hand-me-downs.  They improve our quotidian lives with their grace and beauty.

Case in point:

These are silver teaspoons from some long-lost relative of my husband's.  Each one is no more than three or four inches long.  Monogrammed, elegant, tiny, light.  Beautiful.  Reason #497 to be grateful.
