k4 Later in the summer the sun will clip the corner of my house and one small portion of leaves will pay dearly. I saw in pics you have one.Go for as much shade as you can with this one!- other acers in photo, queen in the back,beyond the gutter and left is a slice of a shisigashira,the pie or dome shape is a tama hime,the small pointy leaves that are lower and seem to be reaching over tama hime bottom left are from a sazanami,coming in over the top is butterfly, between the queen and shishigashira is a mikawa yatsubusa,left of rock is small omur yama in a pot with white stones,hard for you to see.

Hattrick, I got that in Pittsburgh. Dont know if you live here, but with a name like yours its possible! There is a nursery right next to North Park, not far from Passavant Hospital. I don't live in that area so the name escapes me. That was 2 years ago, and if everyone got the same results as me, I'm betting they don't carry them anymore.

WHOOPS! Cut & paste message here,.,I posted it on "Lariat" thread by mistake! Jeanne S. Posted by jeannespines (My Page) on Fri, Jan 15, 10 at 23:02 Whoopeee! My NA dolls are identified! THANKS, lynninnm! I Googled right away & now I know the history! I've always loved them since my Mom displayed them when they moved & she had a special room for her dolls! These NA ones were NOT her style at all...she loved Barbies...& Hollywood star dolls, presidents, TV celebrities, etc! So I was so tickled she gave them some time ago! PURPLEMOON!...you "enabler," you! Sending that link to those beautiful ebay child planters!!! OHHHH,, so cute....the B&G that they call Dutch & call McCoy...I have all the colors of those...and thought they could be McCoy but never could find the "heart with arrow thru it" marking in any books. Yes, Jan, my book also says that black pcs of Lariat were made but very RARE! I've never seen a pc yet! Thanks! And the Lariat "loops" can break (just like Candlewick!) but I've been fortunate enough to only break 1 off in all these yrs! (Knock on wood!) Thanks, everyone, for all your comments..'ppreciate it! My DH is retired & tackles about anything in woodworking...we like to recycle & use alot of barnwood...I will pass on your sweet comments about the cabinet to him! I had seen a pic of a door cabinet some yrs ago & it looked perfect for this project! luvs...the farmhouse was deteroriating so bad ...very old & yes, had some great pcs in it. My sis & BIL had raised their family in it...they are dairy farmers. The Amish came in & took out the cupboards & lots of usable wood ...my sis & BIL was happy about that because all would be bulldozed...I had asked for the door & the old bath window (my Christmas window post) & they let us take anything we wanted. Time was the main issue...as we both worked then & old house had to come down for new one to go up. So we did get some of the beauty! Thanks! Jeanne S. Return to the Holiday Forum

Wow, there is a lot of good information here. Glad I posted with my problem, now I have something new to try out. Thanks owbist. ravencajun, thanks for the compliment but I only had the first half of it figured out and cboy came to the rescue and helped me with the last half of it. I can't take all the credit. "Smiles" Then zep516 came in catching the fact that System Restore wasn't working right and gave me great information on how to correct that. This was the first time that I've had problems with my desktop, but I have changed the backround on it before and I remembered that and I thought why not check it out and see if I could get it to change and that is when I discovered that the backround had been changed and all I had to do was to put it back like I had it, but then I didn't know how to get the icons back and that's when cboy posted the solution for me. If that ever happens to me again I will know exactly what to do. Thanks owbist for telling me how to move the icons down to the taskbar. I will try that on Wednesday, I will have more time to try it out then. thirdfrt!!!
