American Mahjong uses additional joker tiles.

I must admit that I cannot get enough of seashells. I love decorating with them and this summer I have added some wonderful seashell jewelry to my wardrobe. I think my favorite of all are conch shells with their beautiful pink interiors.

Displaying Lettuce Ware

Leta Austin Foster - Flower Magazine

 

Lettuce ware is highly collectible and has been for decades. Tory Burch has a wonderful lettuce ware collection she did in collaboration with Dodie Thayer's estate. Dodie was an American artisan and entrepreneur and her story is remarkable. Her ancestors helped settle Palm Beach where she taught herself how to mold pottery from lettuce and cabbage leaves.

Legendary hostesses from C.Z. Guest and the Duchess of Windsor to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis collected her signature lettuce ware. Mario Buatta's collection of lettuce ware sold at auction for $48,000.
