Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand.

Antique Lefton Heritage Hand Painted Plate


Year 2018 a family member had informed me she wanted to have a certain type of plates hung in her dining area.


The family member had searched everywhere in the stores around her area that sold plates from the year she was born.

The family member said she got tired walking around each store where she thought would have it with no luck she can home empty handed.

Ruth had informed me where she has been the whole day showing me a sample of the antique plate asking me if I had any clue where they can look for it.

Due to time there was no way to find plate that was ancient during the time in the 1940's. I figured it would be a miracle if I could find it for the family member.

Lucky I was able to find the exact plate that the family member owned by a seller through Unique Jewelry Shop Online Shopee Philippines.



The plates we're an Antique Lefton Heritage Hand Painted Plate set of three for PHP 6,000 ($120.00) not including shipping and handling.

The family member had no clue I had purchase the Antique Lefton Heritage Hand Painted Plate set of three. I secretly bought it for her giving it for her early birthday gift.

Unique Jewelry was easy to talk too and made sure no damage would occur during the shipping.

One plate had a chip from the shipping and Unique Jewelry was nice enough to send another plate to balance everything out on the wall of the family member.

Everyone was happy both ways to have something they always wanted in their home plates that gives back childhood memories.

The best part I didn't have to drive anywhere from my home or walk around looking for the Antique Lefton Heritage Hand Painted Plate.

Everyone know I am a miracle worker when it come to finding stuff online every time someone need something they always ask help from me knowing I'd find it somewhere.
