Give me a Little Sugar

I’m an addict. I’m a huge fan of sugar. In all it’s forms. When people ask me if I like chocolate or sweet and sour candy, I have to admit I enjoy both!

Sugar belongs in my morning coffee, my afternoon tea, and my favorite chocolate chip cookies.

Once Thanksgiving dinner was put away and thoughts turned to Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday shopping, I suddenly became very tired. A sugar low, you could say. I was sick with the thought of fighting the crowds or looking for my ATM card. I went Black Friday shopping once, just one time. It broke me. Now my husband and I pick a day in the middle of December and use vacation time to shop for our children, grab a nice day to lunch, and wrap like crazy fools before the kids get home from school.

So instead of shopping for Christmas gifts I did the one thing that was a complete misuse of my time. I went antique shopping!

I realized that I did not have nearly enough green depression glass to adorn my Christmas table. Not that I collected green depression glass before, but I needed it now. So I went to a nearby antique shop and purchased the most beautiful sugar bowl!
