Can hardly wait to see what neat project you have in mind. Pink and bkue sounds like a new set of twins!! I scored a bright blue last Sat at a GS. $1.00!!! When I told her I'd take it she put it in a bowling ball bag!! All for $1.00

I agree,it's not a rick rack.I have those and they look totally different.Look exactly like RR..This looks like just an epiphyllium,not sure what color,will have to wait and see.I love the Epi's not so thrilled with my RR one though. kathi

Yeah, the leather fire bucket with my family's name on the side at an antique shop 1/4 mile from my family's 1690 homestead where the house is still standing & is a museum. I just wasn't IN the mood to purchase anything that day. My DH tried to get me to buy it & I got cranky with him. When I called back the next day...it was gone to somebody else's house...and it wasn't even their name! The 8 pieces of Davenport 'Pomeroy' (1793). I was prepared to bid a substantial amount of money for them. For personal reasons, these were special dishes, to me. When the hammer came down...I hadn't even bid. They went for sooooo much I couldn't even make a first bid. I still mourn those dishes! Have not seen another. The harpoon. DH had to visit the facilities. He said, "I want the harpoon. If it comes up while I'm gone...bid." I thought he was kidding so when it did come up when he was indisposed, I didn't bid. He wasn't kidding. The completely restored Wurlitzer jukebox filled with 45's. I couldn't think of where we'd put it...duh...move the furniture around, you idiot!

I'll have to look for that olive oil - maybe they will have it at Surfas. I'll bet it's quite tasty! Diana did a great job researching on you - congratulations on having her as a partner! I'll have to check out Lucques Restaurant some time when I'm on Melrose - they're having "dia de los muertos" this Sunday. I'll be interested to see what recipe you try first. The print goes really well in your house--the framing looks very elegant. Lars
