Thanks for that link, jane...she did do a nice job on that wreath ...& interesting that she mod-podged it afterward & added 'glitter!' (that dreaded word in my vocabulary!) LOL! Don't know yet if I'll try to print...gosh, it would take alot! & also I can't believe you 'cut out' all the nips & tucks of the card in that 1st pic! Wow! I know...you were a teacher...experienced! ;-) (me, too, I guess). TFS! TFS, Holiday-ers, all your comments! & no, punk I don't know which tinsel wreaths you are talking about...got a pic? Jeanne S.

Pls help re: accent tile/c-top for vintage style all white bath

I'm in a similar predicament, so I can relate. In a kids' bath I don't think I'd do cararra for the countertop because of etching and staining. I'd do either silestone, soapstone or maybe the cardosa. Instead of white grout, consider doing a gray grout. It doesn't stain and the gray lines give a nice vintage feel, and provide a graphic punch so you might not need to add additional color in the tile. If you search for white subway tile gray grout here I am sure many pics will come up.

Finally back:) I do like the micro by the fridge. I used to have a microwave on a microwave shelf and I found it a little high for me - but I am short and so are my daughters. If I ever design a kitchen for myself I will have the microwave lower than the upper shelf. I may do something like this: To do a kitchen like Loretta's the fridge and oven would be on the same wall. Then there would be no cabinetry at all on the present wall with the fridge so that there would be room for an island. You want 42 inches between sink and island. You can do less space between island and wall (that side of the island would have the seating) but you probably want at least 36 inches there. I do not know if you would want to give up the cabinetry for the island or now need to redo the floor for a style change. I will say that with my wood cabinetry (which I prefer too), I am glad I am not surrounded by it, but have an open wall for decor and that lightens up the space. I think a few measurements will help with workable suggestions. I have a very vintage French Country kitchen. It is in my idea book but I don't think it offers inspiration for the modern space you are planing except it is an L with an island:)

need help for vintage collectable drawing sets
Q

In the early part of my career, I have used drafting tools like the ones in the photo above, to make ink drawings on vellum for the government. (That was a long time ago.) That was a tedious process. Sketches, layouts, and experimental work was done with pencil; Final drawings made for archive records were made with India Ink on Vellum. I see three ink points in the phoro. The maker of this set is K & E, makers of good quality equipment. In this photo, second row from top, there is a long bar with a peg in one end and an adjustable slide on the other end. This is a compass extender for making large arcs or circles. The peg of the extender is installed in place of the lead holder in a compass. It is a bit awkward to use, but with skill and care it does work. What works better is a bigger compass. It is not often that large arcs are needed. I'd guess that 95% of arcs and circles on engineering drawings are less than 15 inch diameter.

Stacie, thank you, love that roster! dont know if I could paint that or not, I am not a good painter.
Luvs thank you for the link, I love them also, but I am in need of a single roster that I can make a 8 and a half circle to fit in the center of the charger plate, wish I could post the picture I saw of one, when I try to resize it in my print program to post it the picture goes wacky, guess its something to keep you from useing the graphic. there is some real pretty decals on that site!
Thanks agine

www.allposters.com has lots of 8x10 prints. Just type roosters in the search box.

Have you looked at some of the free graphics websites?

Thank you Luvs! I looked at free graphic till my eyes are crossed, I seen lots on the poster site you told me about, now I have a question on the leagle part, If I ordered one could I copy it at home and use it to sale plates? I am such a worrier and sure dont need trouble, so much to think about when you are trying to sell crafts.
Thanks agine

That's true Oddie. I'm pretty sure the decals would not be a problem because you see items sold on ebay with them all the time. However, the posters might be copyright protected. Too bad you don't paint, then you could just do your own version. Lots of great rooster patterns in painting books. Sure hope someone on here has advice for you. Good luck. Luvs

Oddie...you can use any picture and paint it on your plate...As long as it is not an exact replica of the picture.

If you paint it yourself you know it will be somewhat different.

You can change size, change a color..things like that.

Patti, thanks for posting, if I tried painting any picture it sure would be different and no one would think it was of the same picture! LOL, I saved a picture took it to my print shop,croped the picture to a circle and changed the over all shade of the picture some, also size
would that work ? maybe I should just do one for my almost ddil and let her co-workers buy there own, I am still open to any ideas and sure appreciate all the help.
Happy Crafting
