Isuhunter, you may want to list something you are willing to trade for the items, OR, take advantage of some of the freebie/newbie offers posted by others. You're not supposed to ask for things on here without offering something. What you offer is up to you, so it can be something as simple as a pack of common seeds from your local big box store. Also, someone is welcome to see your offer and send you things for postage, but that should be their idea.

Thanks, lazypup. It's no problem to remove that linen closet to get the inches--I can do that part myself. I'm just wondering if there's any wiggle room when setting a toilet, or if this is going to be a very much bigger job. It could affect how much I'm willing to offer. (As it is I think it's currently just barely 15 from center to the closet on one side and to the built-out section of wall on the other.)

Maire, I'm thinking of sending the magazine to my cousin Jackie, who has two young children. I think she'll find it interesting. I don't see anything in the table of contents to explain the cover. Here are some sample article titles: What Thrift Means The Rise and Fall of Junior (fiction) Making Mistresses of Our Young Maids (hmm.... LOL) Is Your Child Afraid of God? The Child as the Salvation of the Parent Hot Rocks for Little Folks Are You Married? Are You Happy? Short Cuts to Piano Efficiency Toothsome Ways of Serving Oysters A piece on "An Inexpensive Outfit for the Winter Baby" gives a shopping list: 12 yards of longcloth @ 15¢ per yard; 12 yards flannel @ 10¢ per yard; and 24 yards white outing flannel @ 8.3¢ per yard (how did they do that?). On the same page is an ad for sometime called Imperial Granum--Food for the Nursing Mother. "Increases the quantity and quality of her milk and gives strength to bear the strain of nursing. Imperial Granum is the food that gives hard, firm flesh, good bone and rich, red blood." As a retired La Leche League leader, I have no idea what this is. :-)

I suppose I could try that, but I suspect that without being rooted properly first, they would just die en route ... I could try and root them but I rarely have success and certainly couldn't promise anything. I wouldn't feel comfortable "trading" for that at any rate, as it most likely wouldn't work. However, if you want to email me later in the Spring, like late May, I can take a look at the Clematis as the garden comes back to life in the Spring and see if I can take cuttings ... and we could talk then, perhaps!
