Cook and Brew.

Silver and platinum coins, for most, are just used as mere purchasing means at their value. Do you know that you can actually turn a bullion into a sound investment? You may ask, how. Well, keep whatever coins you may have now. If possible, try to collect even that of other currencies. Store them in a safe place and after some time, let’s say about 20 years from now, take them out and you’ll be surprised how much their values can sum up to. They’re hundred or could even be thousand times valued than on the year it’s been minted. But of course, you need not wait than long should you consider investing precious metals. There’s the US Gold Bureau from where you can purchase the rarest silver, gold or other precious metals and coins. For several years now, they’ve been one of the trusted leaders in precious metals investment.

I’m still in the process of completing Little Mansion’s kitchen tools.  Before moving in, we’ve shopped the basic pieces in a nearby mall but got restrained from buying further because the prices weren’t that friendly to my pocket.  We were on a strict budget since we still had other home stuffs to buy as well following the big move.  I suddenly remembered the wholesale housewares I saw in an auction site and decided to just buy the not so basic tools from there.  Take a look at these Barbecue Set, Kitchen and Cutlery Sets.  Would you believe that all these 24 pieces or 1 lot is currently auctioned at just $100 or about $4.16/piece?  Such a steal, really.  Now I’m off to peruse the site further and see if I have other items to bid for.

When I was still a kid, I often asked my Mom to buy gold coins for me.  No, not those precious commodities that are known to diversify one’s financial portfolio but I’m pertaining to the chocolates neatly wrapped as gold coins in golden wrapper and even a fake inscription.  These chocolates taste good but actually more than the taste, the reason why I loved asking Mom to buy me was because I like playing pretend a lot.  I used to imagine that I’m a cashier and I used these coins as my money.  Now how I wish I can also ask my mom to buy me the real deal this time..the same way she spoils me then.

Cooking is my newly found hobby.  But when I received these vintage necklaces I ordered online recently, I am tempted to buy myself the basic jewelry making tools and try to explore the way of creating these lovely accessories.  These are sold like hot pancakes online.  In fact, a highly favored design, a vintage Eiffel Tower has easily gotten sold out. The seller said that it could take weeks before her stocks get replenished since these necklaces take time to be crafted.  Now I really am enticed to try jewelry making and perhaps I can do an Eiffel Tower vintage necklace by myself.  And oh, look who’s enamored with the bicycle thingie…

When we got married, our wedding favors were customized and were personally done by us. Actually, we just source inspirations and ideas from wedding guides, bought raw materials then we painstakingly repackaged each of the paper soaps we bought to heart shaped bottles. We further wrapped it in a Sinamay basket then printed our customized card with our picture and wedding details. Not only we were able to save in heaps but the personal touch is indeed valuable.
