Favorite Freebie

Teddy and I went to Macelleria, an Italian steakhouse in the Meatpacking District, for our Valentine's Day dinner. I immediately eyed the matches upon arrival. The hostess was seating someone so I quickly snapped a pic before putting at handful in my purse. Standard procedure...


I don't smoke, just want to light candles and primarily fill a huge jar like this!
(I don't need eight... one will do.)

Ginger Jar Matches $9.50/3 boxes
Both by ANNECHOVIE

So I might be a little crazy if I actually went out and bought myself matches but don't put it past me.

  3. Matchbooks are a cool, easy thing to collect. My g-ma takes one from where ever she goes. Something I'm going to start doing!

  7. My parents have collected matches in various apothocary jars for years. It's always so fun to hear stories about each book. and it's a great conversation starter for company.
