Stone’s Original Green Ginger WineThis wine dates back to the founding of Finsbury Distillery in 1740. I’m not sure what year this bottle is from.

A pretty vintage footed bowl purchased at the very cool Film Biz Prop Shop in Gowanus, Brooklyn. (For $9!) As the name implies, it’s a huge thrift shop that recycles furniture, clothes, and all sorts of other random used film props. Random. And aesthetically pleasing. I’m guessing this bowl is from the 1960s.

My mom gave me this Pyrex Forest Fancies casserole unused in its original box from about 1981. I saved the box artwork because of the pyrex logo and elaborate nature-themed photo styling. The casserole dish is now in use.

This tricolor Hoya has the most entertaining growth pattern. New leaves begin a deep maroon color, then turn brighter pink, eventually white and finally green with white edges. It also flowers when mature. The first year I had this plant, it was in a larger pot and positioned in bright filtered light. It barely grew at all. After repotting it into a smaller pot, and placing it on my sunniest windowsill, it sprouted a bunch of pink leaves. Unlike many container plants, Hoyas enjoy being root bound. It’s sitting in a vintage milk glass candy dish. (Hoya carnosa ‘variegata’)
