As a follower and student of what your profess, I was just wondering about what you have said in the past publically to what you were saying now. GW wont allow links to those examples but they are out there at several places (smile). And I am a little confused still. Your response's choice of phrasing "I owe Workman..." seems misleading even when followed by "book sales". Should I take that to mean you wouldn't receive anything till about that much in publishing costs are recouped rather than Workman sending you a bill for 24K "Hey, you owe!" I mean that seems like their debt not yours. So I dont see as were you'd "owe" them. If so, seesh! Is that correct? I've been asked to write several times now. I wonder why I should bother doing it for some entity when if I wanted to I can easily put anything up on the web. With the web being a more dynamic format things can easily be updated or corrected to change information. That's been almost as easy to do as editing a forum post since the late 90's. Now one could also embedded videos if they choose. Though it is harder to take it in for bathroom reading without a laptop and a wireless connection. Not writing a book makes even more sense now especially after your lamenting of not being able to "redline" the revision. You could takehave out those lines that aren't actually heirlooms! Speaking of "redline revisions", it seems you miss your red pen! (I worked for a professor who also seemed to enjoy red pens. You should have seen the looks on their faces when they got their work back!) I saw your comments about wanting to correct things in Linda Sapp's catalog. I'm sure she appreciates the corrections help.

Patricia, don't tempt me! I'm trying to bring a bit of green to the room to break up some of the gold and red. I have my eye on a couple of Murray Feiss lamps and I'm going to switch out the tapestry for the painting. I think the horse is such an unexpected surprise but I have been doubting myself about it. Thanks all for the wonderful compliments, I really really appreciate it!!

val..I think that's what helped sell it so fast, was the fact that the holidays are coming..and everyone is looking..just like you said you did last yr. dd50..I thought it was so sweet that she emailed me a picture of it all set up in their home..it made me feel good that they were really happy. Some of you had said that the style (chair color) was very taste specific (true) and it would be hard to sell because of that..however, she said she liked the color because she has a very HUGE painted Hutch and felt the colors in the chairs would work nicely with the hutch. newhomebuilder...it was no longer showing on the original thread..so here's some other pics... Also it had 8 chairs and there are only six showing in these pics.

Nice!! We used to have a similar table that was not in great condition and was missing a leaf...toyed with the idea of having a leaf made, etc etc, but in the end decided to buy a new table. Hope you enjoy your new table!
