As I was walking round our local car boot at eight o'clock this morning, I was looking at the stalls with your eyes, as I imagined, and seeing all sorts of new treasures. Also, I need someone who can truly appreciate my collection of nineteen pressed-glass cakestands, the Moroccan plates from Fes and Meknes, the egyptian soda glass vases, and all the other goodies I love to find but that this household of five males fails to understand at all. One porcelain jelly mould is a lovely thing, they acknowledge, and both apposite and effective for flowers in the middle of the kitchen table. But they do question why I need five of them. Your collection is a delight and I can imagine exactly how much pleasure the hunt has given you. My favourite is definitely the Laticchino (sp?) . What a wonder of the glassblower's art.Tighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786331256157193919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-50300022061683187132012-06-08T04:36:21.259-07:002012-06-08T04:36:21.259-07:00Lee and Barbara, thank you both for your warm comm...Lee and Barbara, thank you both for your warm comments. They were so pleasant to read, after spending time putting pictures together, etc. Lee, your analysis is spot on...these things are somehow very soothing, and just what I seem to need at this stage of my life! And Barbara, I'm so pleased you liked my cock-eyed blog! I could never find your home dull, because you would be in it (plus a certain amount of books).Diana Birchallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18291540900938654707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-4789567005786470372012-06-07T13:00:41.815-07:002012-06-07T13:00:41.815-07:00A top ten post for me, Diana!

I see you succombed to the Dou. Lucky Tully on the crochet cover - good too that Etsy get support. We have Folksy here - it's just the same and often a first port of call for cards and special gifts. The Venetian Latticino took my breath away and the dancing eggs are a hoot. How dull you would find my home!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02196530511497772957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-15097831693341615042012-06-07T10:21:03.515-07:002012-06-07T10:21:03.515-07:00I LOVE the peacock!

The sign of a hoarder is that their "stuff" brings them no peace, but only anxiety. Your cats keep your balance in perspective, I'm sure. Breaking things only occasionally to remind you of what really matters. :) LeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
