Have You Ever Seen a Tartan Pool Table?
Comments (30)Update--- ID and I spoke at length about this very issue last night. We did a budget assessment and are even farther out there than I realized. So, this is his view, that if the table was a cherished heirloom or a valuable antique of any provenance, or "even if it was just really nice looking" he would love it upholstered in the tartan. At $120 per yard shipped cost to me, with extra for rails because of the repeat (and we are pretty sure the pool table guy has never heard or dealt with a repeat), the fabric alone would cost around $800. He said he would rather have that money back in the pot for accessories, especially if someday in the not too distant future that table will end up for sale for $150 at the Christian Women's Center thrift shop. He's right, This is a CL Bailey oak table and I guess the tartan would be the teensiest bit over the top :-( But still....hmph!...See MoreHave you seen this?
Comments (30)Gee Mary, I think here at KT the word "border" could ALSO mean: 1.A part that forms the outer edge of something. 2.A decorative strip around the edge of something, such as fabric. 3.A strip of ground, as at the edge of a garden or walk, in which ornamental plants or shrubs are planted. I guess we ALL have our glass houses. Let's cut each other some slack!...See MoreHave you seen this bookcase?
Comments (14)sheri, I think you need a cabinet maker . . . at least that is what the superior 'chippy' is known as over here. Many years ago I attended some evening classes held in the woodwork shop at the local secondary (ie High) school. I have always been good with my hands (as the saying goes) and just wanted to learn how to use a variety of tools. The instructor was insistent that I actually made something and as I wasn't interested in a spade-scrapper or a pipe-rack I made a rather wobbly lamp-stand. My pièce-de-résistance, however, was a three shelved book case made of real mahogany. This timber is almost impossible to buy these days but a load had travelled to the UK in a cargo ship carrying butter, which had melted onto the wood below, making it difficult to sell. So now I have a very shiny but useful extra place to store books. It's nothing as fancy as yoyo's eg ;-)...See MoreRoseseek: Sierra Snowstorm-have you seen it?
Comments (7)Hi John, unfortunately Mr. Moore had lost Sierra Snowstorm long before I met him thirty-ish years ago. The closest I ever got to seeing it was growing Renae, Carolyn Dean and Dancing Doll. I did raise a yellow Renae seedling, so yellow is possible from her. Etoile Luisante wasn't Ragged Robin. RR is Gloire des Rosomanes. Etoile Luisante was also called Baby Herriot because it was a polyantha nearly the color ofMme. Edouard Herriot, a Pernetiana. The patent information was that Renae was the stated parentage. Many years later, Mr. Moore came to the conclusion Renae and the other siblings were actually self seedlings of Etoile Luisante. Unfortunately, he'd also lost Etoile Luisante many years before we met, so I have never seen that one "in person" either. Am I comfortable with his later years conclusion that the roses were selfs of Etoile Luisante? No. I seriously doubt a result such as Annie Laurie McDowell could have resulted from a straight Etoile Luisante breeding, but it COULD result from something containing Gloire des Rosomanes. Some day, I genuinely want DNA tests of Gloire des Rosomanes, Grandmother's Hat, Renae and Annie Laurie McDowell. Gloire des Rosomanes is strongly in the mold of Grandmother's Hat. They share too many scents and plant textures to not at least share common ancestry, if not direct blood line. Annie Laurie McDowell resembles Grandmother's Hat in a number of her textures and parts. Etoile Luisante likely has a multiflora X Pernetiana (Foetida) background. Perhaps Carolyn Dean might result from an Etoile Luisante selfed-self, but I think Renae might be pushing that a bit too far. A further selfing producing Annie Laurie McDowell is really stretching it. Did you notice the 1939 reference on HMF stating the breeding was (Gloire des Rosomanes X Dorothy Perkins) X (Mlle. Cecile Brunner X Mme. Edouard Herriot)? I have no idea where that information came from, but it might give a clue to what produced Etoile Luisante. If it's correct, it could answer quite a few questions and even explain the results Renae produces. Mr. Moore described Sierra Snowstorm as yellow that faded white, probably quite a bit like the blooms of Jersey Beauty or Aglaia. The HMF reference which describes it as "8 feet in diameter, producing white roses the size of half dollars in clusters like miniature white Cherokees". Of course, "Cherokees" refers to R. Laevigata. Then, the 1937 reference stating, "Bud small, long-pointed, cream and yellow; flower small (2 in. across), single, open, lasting, intensely fragrant, white, in cluster."? Then, describes it as a "Mrs. Dudley Fulton type"? I doubt it was as intensely yellow as my yellow Renae seedling, but it probably was about as color stable. It's definitely one of many of his roses I would love to have been able to study....See Moresocks
