Ruby Lane's Holiday Magazine

<a href="http://www.rubylane.com/" target="_blank">Ruby Lane </a>is one of the world's largest online marketplaces for vintage and antique goods including art, furnishings, jewelry, silver, crystal and more. I was asked to select a favorite item from their offerings to be included in their holiday issue of <a href="http://issuu.com/rubylane/docs/ruby_read_winter_2014/34" target="_blank">Ruby Read</a>, their digital magazine. <br /><br /><br /><code><div class="issuuembed" data-configid="0/9829996" style="height: 406px; width: 650px;"></div><script async="true" src="//e.issuu.com/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script></code><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkxklKGGB3WyJD8i_Rg4n3IHSftXf9T8yAKvEl4yyfS2GnHgwgfp9uE5vTSgszKWuVNJHhcrKvIP0o7sCSW2_Vm4n_UHhk3dpwr9Uke4c319eFD_bPHqG6SsTAxaK2wdVGl3KlKDi3qmU/s1600/barset.tiff" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkxklKGGB3WyJD8i_Rg4n3IHSftXf9T8yAKvEl4yyfS2GnHgwgfp9uE5vTSgszKWuVNJHhcrKvIP0o7sCSW2_Vm4n_UHhk3dpwr9Uke4c319eFD_bPHqG6SsTAxaK2wdVGl3KlKDi3qmU/s1600/barset.tiff" /></a></div><code><br /></code>Here is the<a href="http://www.rubylane.com/item/694606-f3414/Royal-Danish-Bar-Set-Corkscrew-Jigger" target="_blank"> online listing </a>for the Royal Danish Bar set that was my selection.  It's unfortunately way out of my current budget to buy for myself - but I'm keeping it in mind for someday!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqTN6LVuBdwurxLA5dXgabcaIIaCv9ZOdfy9kgQryjWArXp-Kw2tw6u1abKp0pnhhvsok9VTTz1sdnnzrPKM8DzBgAnHnLc_CW133LYAVxpwR-7Wa_pfzJiHF2SV6oukMMjvSCZJendtc/s1600/Linda+sig2a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqTN6LVuBdwurxLA5dXgabcaIIaCv9ZOdfy9kgQryjWArXp-Kw2tw6u1abKp0pnhhvsok9VTTz1sdnnzrPKM8DzBgAnHnLc_CW133LYAVxpwR-7Wa_pfzJiHF2SV6oukMMjvSCZJendtc/s1600/Linda+sig2a.jpg" /></a></div><br /><code><br /></code>
