Like my main character Cadence, I have a love of thrift stores and antique stores. I enjoy the hunt and find many sweet treasures for my vintage decor.
Beautiful flatware always grabs my attention. I sell some treasures I find and keep others.
I loved this fancy spoon the minute I saw it and I couldn’t leave it behind.
I loved the etched spoon and the pretty handle and didn’t notice the name engraved on the handle.
Despite my character being named Ida Bealle—not just Ida—I kept this pretty spoon near my computer while I wrote The Road Home.
If you have read the book, you may have noticed the chapter headers. One is this recipe box I found on one of my hunts. I love it, and when I needed an old treasure for Cadence to find, I knew it had to be my vintage recipe box.
This one didn’t come with distasteful recipes, but I’ve definitely discovered some of those on my treasure hunts.
Have you ever found a cool treasure? Find The Road Home in my bookshop.
