I absolutely love the little alphabet balls. Anyone know where I could find them?

Brittanie, I'm sure I've seen those in the Ballard Designs catalog.

Are those vintage bingo balls? What a cute idea for a collection!

Brittanie,
I found a huge jar of these at an antique mall here in Cambridge, MA. I think they were $4 a pop though...

I am so not a flower person (I suffer from a black thumb), but I adore those beautiful green bursts! Does anybody know the name?

The flowers are spider mums. You can find them in quite a few colors.
