I was slap happy when they told me they still had some in stock. I ordered the white and pink combos, pillow talk and cloud something. Plus Kitty Kat and a couple of the pinky apricoty blends plus a pink lily one. I love the brighter colors too but stuck with the pale and medium shades this time around. Can't wait!!!

How do you like h.Gun Smoke?Pretty nice huh? Carol

If you don't mind re-answering, I would sure appreciate. I'm going to try and move them, one of the reasons is that the location doesn't have the best air circulation. The one at the top of the hill above my pond whipped around this winter and scratched my fence all up before I espaliered it, so I know that's one factor that's different. Also, because it's on a hill, it has better drainage. Two questions I have are how far can I cut it back and how do I treat the problem?

Oh, Oakley - yet another inspiration pic! I love French enamelware and have lusted after the "real deal" on Etsy and eBay, but can't bring myself to part with that kind of $$. I was standing in the checkout line at JoAnn's Fabric last week (with DH in tow) and noticed a woman carrying a couple of cream-colored replicas and am still kicking myself for not getting out of line and going to find them on the shelves. Yesterday I went to a garage sale that an acquaintance was having and loaded up on goodies: Two wonderful antique pitcher and bowl sets ($30 for the pair!), a 7-piece set of rose-decorated Victorian china including a pitcher (without the bowl) and a large chamber pot, a couple of sweet, snuggly throws, a set of quilted placemats and table runner, several small china pieces - pitchers and plates, and a cute quilted pillow. I think I spent $100 in all, and am so pleased with my good deals! I have an out-of-state work conference to attend this next week which is going to be grueling (16+ hour days), but perhaps the following week/end I'll focus on painting the fireplace surround in our bedroom. Still leaning toward BM Antique White. Still having fun transforming this little old house! :-)
