Since you seem to like the "lucky" series... :) Do you happen to have Rob's Lucky Charm and Rob's Lucky Penny already? I'm looking for the former and have a small plant of the latter. I realize that both are chimeras and so leaves won't trade, but I'll be saving the first sucker from my lucky penny for trading purposes and would really like to get my hands on the lucky charm if I can find anyone who wants to trade.

If you stick with the well known vendors odds are you'll be very satisfied. I've never bought off ebay because I don't like the bidding wars that drive up the prices and I can't afford to play that game. I'm sure there are good one and bad ones. I did go to one of the well known ebayers website and place an order recently. Her priority box took 7 days - completely out of her control though. I emailed USPS and they called to say how very sorry they were, and in the next breath that they couldn't do anything about it becasue it wasn't Express Mail. (He seemed to think it got thrown on the wrong plane and went from Vermont to California and back to Maine) Have lost 2 leaves with 2 others hanging on; plugs did okay - lost maybe a couple more leaves than would be expected. She packs well! But the key is communication. We kept in contact by email until the package finally arrived and she said to let her know how they do so she can make it right. (A little stung that people choose up sides and call me harsh!! I'm nice...I gave the dog back :) lol

Received my box from Vina yesterday and it was packed with a rainbow of flower seeds. Vina grouped them each in a color grouping to make a rainbow. Seeds to numerous to list but fantastic selections. She also included a mini shovel which will work great with transplanting seedlings and a frog that hangs on a planter. She also included a very nice rainbow poem. Thank you Vina for the great package. Was busy in the garden today. It was not an expected project because I didn't think the weather was going to be good for it. I started weeding and mulching the garden next to our garage. I usually start in the front of the house and this garden is the last one I get to so I decided to start there this year. I have a rough time with it because the soil isn't very good. After five years, it is finally starting to flourish so after weeding and mulching, it looks pretty good. I still have the roughest part to do. I let it go last year and a weed took over. It could be an invasive flower for all I know since I am always planting new things. I like the little white flower but hate the plant so have to pull it all out. It really hangs on when pulled. Will start back on it tomorrow. Margo

I prefer the cream also....I hope someone can come up with an idea for the vent...it's driving me batty! Do you close the drapes? If not, a bar cart? Plant? Small console? Let's put our collective brains together.. Now, you said you were doing a new chandelier. Do you have any ideas?
