I just popped by from Just Lillas blog where Whispering poppys was prasing your blog, so I just had to come and see. <BR/>It was well worth it. I collect china painted plates and dishes as well and those are so pretty.

I have just been into town and, despite having no money in my pocket, spent ages rummaging through junk shops and, just like you, mentally readjusting everything in my home to make room for everything I wanted to buy. Although I didn't have the good fortune to find anything as interesting as Sue's drawers!!!!!! So good to hear that the lace ends up in your home, I know you will make the best use of it.<BR/>KimxRagged Roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08339985100168927169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-70067725253001668922009-02-12T12:42:00.000+00:002009-02-12T12:42:00.000+00:00Everything looks so pretty!
