Wow, all of you have been so busy! Way to go, everyone. The Fostoria glass is gorgeous, Mary Ann. That sort of glassware is one of the few things I don't collect, although I think a lot of it is really pretty. John and I have a few pieces of "depression glass" and Carnival glass that we each inherited, but there is so much to learn about glassware, and so many different patterns, etc., that I am chicken to get into it. Doesn't keep me from wanting to, though!

Kitchen counters and the back bathroom are next...I'll have to enlist John to help straighten the pantry, so he'll know where everything is and won't be complaining that he can't find anything if I rearrange it!

SRS, that's a beautiful Mission china cabinet. That sort of furniture is what I would love to furnish the whole house with, if we could only afford it. There's a place I stayed once in Kansas City that was Arts and Crafts period and furnished appropriately--it was simply breath-taking.
