A busy week. I'll attempt to tell it in pictures.

There was an iittala sample sale earlier this week at their showroom on Madison Ave. I snapped up several items, one being this beautiful plate. These plates, btw, aren't just decorative. They are freezer-, microwave-, oven- and dishwasher-safe. They are meant to be used and enjoyed!

I found myself invited the next day to an incredible lunch prepared by a chef from Helsinki. We *could* have been dining on iitala plates there too, who knows. The full details will be seen in the December issue of the Finnish-American Reporter. In the meantime, if you'd like the answer to the question: Did you have reindeer? It is: Yes!
