Send me a self addressed stamped envelope and I will gladly send you some fresh black knight niola morning glory seeds it is the only variety I am growing...don't want to trade at the moment.

Sometimes men just don't "get it" do they Patti? LOL DH is forever doing things that bug me and he will say,"Well,that looks OK!" Like the bright pumpkin orange paint on the walls in his bedroom! I let him get away with that only because nobody ever goes in there but me or him.I wake up every morning to that orange "glow",(his room adjoins mine) made even worse by the morning sun coming in the window because he has never put his blind back up since the room was painted about 6 months ago.There is a big door opening between his room and mine so I get the full effect of the "glow" every morning.I almost have to wear sunshades.LOL We are shopping next week for a folding door for that opening! I have the oak toilet seats that we bought at Lowes,I think,about 7 years ago.The one in my bathroom has a slight crack and has had for a couple of years but it isn't pinching yet.LOL We have replaced the bolts that hold it onto the commode on both of them within the last 6 months but so far that's all.They have the brass hinges but I hate them because the finish has worn off and they look really cruddy.I won't replace them until I have to though.Those things are expensive. Maybe you should have kept the white one and did something like this to make it a little more "stylish".LOL Here is a link that might be useful: Toilet seats

Another Tuesday Morning fan here. Haven't tried upholstered pieces (small local shop occassionally has chairs), but wouldn't hestitate if I liked something, especially for light duty use. Bought a pair of end tables there 16 years ago that still flank the LR sofa & look like new after all these years & much use. They're lift-top chests on legs, lined with felt with an interior removable tray, covered entirely with leather look (and it may be leather) in a map print on sepia with brass hardware. Snapped them up for $150? pair, thinking they could be replaced down the road if they didn't hold up. Later saw them in a Horchow or Gump's catalogue for $500+ each. Bought a pair of lamps long time back for the shades. I'd seen the designer shades in lamp shops, and recognized the lamps with those shades were significantly less than the shades alone. Nice lamps, too, which were refitted with plain shades & still in use, as are the shades I bought them for on other lamps. Then there's the heavy-duty 150' hose reel on wheels in a fancy cast iron design picked up years ago for $85 when plastic box versions were priced nearly that much. Still in daily use & left out year-round, did reoil the wooden handle some time back, but other than that it looks new, too. Frontgate sells a similar reel in aluminum for $350 minus the wheels. Long way round of echoing others' understanding that their wares are closeouts, overstocks, discontinueds & previous season stuff at heavy discount for the quality. You're so considerate to be thinking of your MIL's comfort! If you like the chairs & think they'll work, try them out - they've a great return policy at least 60 if not 90 days. You may find you're still using them years later, too.
