Joan. - Going to borrow grapes and iblueberries idea. Neocolors look like pastels. I remember my mother and aunts seemed to always wear brooches when dressed up. Loved cameos. Had I great aunt who had a brooch with lady in silhouette on bone or ivory. It was really pretty and unique...

Joan, Tutties! I was close. Miss a few things about NY most are food like bagels, pizza and bakeries. Down here the closest thing to a bakery is supermarkets where they bake there own bread.😂🤣
