#5 Vacationing in NY and I come across this antique cast iron fireplace. It’s awesome and only $50! Practicality takes over with a “do I really need this”? Left it and went a couple other places. Stopped back to look at it, still loved it, bought it and it took the 2 hour drive home with me. It will be used for outside fires under my pergola. Found at Old Mill of Irondale Antiques in Millerton, NY

Not sure how to check if 100% authentic or not, but I don’t think I could sell it either way. It’s sooo pretty, but now I’m not sure what to do with it cuz I was gonna hang it on my wall like a tapestry lol.

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.

Got wisdom to pour?
