My Grandma had them too. The lace is just gorgeous! <br />The reasons for not purchasing the other finds are very valid. Good for you for being strong enough to walk away. Although they do sound like they were wonderful! <br />I sent you an e-mail asking about the total I owe you for the tea cozy. Let me know asap. Thanks so much!
