Thanks for helping out with the link for me. I appreciate it!<br />Your drawing of the child with the butterfly is one of the sweetest pieces, and the wall pocket is the perfect holder for those special notes and envelopes. I'm so happy you got that one! As for the poster - your husband is too clever!

I don't think so. You always make me laugh!! Thank you for always coming by for a visit on my blog post. You are really so faithful, I don't know how you do it. God has given you a gift my dear. I was so tickled when I read that you saw that episode on HGTV and you could see why Little Jimmy had the feel even in miniature. He is not dipping his toe in the water but he is dipping his sweet little hand to pick up rocks. Wasn't that Indian Maiden amazing?!!

The first is an addiction to dishes and the second is a connection to the bootheel of Missouri. I grew up in Kennett and have fond memories of going to the Gobler Merchantile when I was a child. As you may know, it was a precursor to WalMart and I remember seeing dishes there, too! Anyway, I noticed your mention of Steele and thought I would touch base. And I love your blog!

We are clearing my uncle's home in PA, the last of my tribe and I had to bring some dishes home with me! To which Jerry (we ae 42 years married) remarked, "I thought you said you had enough china, dishes,,!" Well like how can I leave the old Japanese lustreware, or the roses on Canonsburg pottery, etc!! I'm still kicking myself for not bringing home the china from my aunt's last year but letting it go to the estate sale. I was over whelmed at the time and got weak. <br /><br />Your mention of dishwashers for china, got my eye???Do you put fine china in there? It's one thing I dislike, hand washing my fine china, because I don't think the dishwasher is good for it??? Maybe you are onto something?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093078029028920810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-65902968916654829442010-06-04T20:25:30.568-05:002010-06-04T20:25:30.568-05:00Hello Laurie~ excess is defiantly in the eyes beho...Hello Laurie~ excess is defiantly in the eyes beholden to our hubby's.<br />I have a meager collection to yours and yet I still find myself hiding every dish and stemware that crosses the threshold to my house.<br />I always distract my hubs with the food that's going on the plates.
