What a precious metal; conductive for heat and electricity, and so highly valued for jewelry, tableware, and other ornaments it also gets used in coins (of course), photography, dental applications and in soldering (just don’t ask me to)…

  16. I haven't floated candles in ever so long! You've set a fire under me now. I must do so. And set them outside on one of the tables to glow in the dark.

  19. Donatella,
    What an adorible Waffle Iron. I make them
    from scratch. I have a new iron,that is so cute and much smaller I bet. Have you notices how every thing got bigger.
    That's why America's FAT. I found some tiny muffin pans.
