Early Happy Birthday to me

 If you born near Christmas, you'll understand how I feel about gift receiving. As an adult I took matters into my own hands and buy myself a gift whenever I find it for myself for my Birthday. Sounds selfish but after years of cry me a river, double gift combo Christmas/ Birthday I decided to put on my big girls pants and make it special.  Everytime I do, I say out loud when buying it, "Happy Birthday to me". I have even got discounts doing that. I keep it to one item under $100 per year. And in most cases I have been stalking that item for years. I also had one of my Birthday party's in August one year. Yes my 50th in fact. Everyone was able to make it. There were no snow storms or people exhausted from partying or not wanting to party b4 New Years.  I loved it!  So this year's gift from my hubby and myself is a Sterling Silver bracelet made by Birks. I found it in a lovely roadside Antique store in St-Remi d' Amherst.

Vintage solid brass scissor style candle snuffer

 SOLD: https://posh.mk/r6nyrsHTE7b How to Use a Scissor Snuffer Position the Tool:  Hold the scissor snuffer by its finger loops.   Clip the Wick:  Place the scissor blade portion over the candle wick. Close the blades to trim away the burnt, carbon-tipped end of the wick.   Catch the Trimming:  Traditional scissor snuffers feature a small attached box or tray segment alongside the blades. This box catches the hot cut wick so it does not fall back into the wax or char the tabletop.   Extinguish the Flame:  If the tool includes a closing plate or douter feature (or if the box part is used to clamp over the flame), squeeze the tool to starve the wick of oxygen and put out the fire cleanly.   Rest the Tool:  Many historical scissor snuffers come with three small peg feet underneath. Place the tool down on a matching tray or a safe, heat-resistant surface rather than directly on fine furniture.
