As I navigate life’s road without sweets — a heavy sack I‘ve carried and a journey I’ve postponed for decades —I’m recording my struggles in real time. Here’s what came up when I put down the Beer Nuts; #15 in my flower-titled story series about sugar addiction.

Limoges berry bowl, 5 1/2" wide, from about 1907. I don’t have this sweet pea and fern pattern, but own a few mismatched dainties from a Montclair yard sale at a nearby historic dream house. Link from this shop on Etsy.
