Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/10/2011 (5298 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If your house were on fire, heaven forbid, what’s the one item contained within that you would try to take with you? (People, pets and computers not included.)
My wallet. Then when the dust settled, at least I would have some idea of who I’m supposed to be.
What’s the one clothing/fashion item you can’t live without?
Hands down, my new bras from the Bra Bar. You should see them!
What’s your favourite knick-knack and why?
A carved wooden cup just big enough to hold toothpicks. I asked my mum if I could have it when she sold the cottage in the early ’80s. She said yes.
What’s the oldest thing you own?
As far as I know it would be one of several old books left by one of my grandmas. One of them is called Social Etiquette by Maud C. Cook (1896).
Describe your most beloved piece of furniture.
My living room couch and my porch couch are equally beloved. The season dictates which one I use the most. The porch couch might be at least as old as Maud Cook’s book on etiquette.
Is there an edible item we’ll always find in your pantry or fridge?
HobNob cookies with milk-chocolate coating.
