I think they made a big change :)<br /><br />I have one from my great grandma, but I was told she used it for a large golfish bowl and that the bowl broke. I use it for a plant now though. It's in my foyer pics.<br /><br />Thank you for your sweet comments about Shiloh and my unknown visitor. It was a strange week last week, wasn't it? Anyway, I'm taking a blogging break for a week, but I hope you have a great 4th of July sweet friend.<br /><br />xo,<br />rueRuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127064683340688898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-32503101264775619502009-06-30T11:54:42.781-04:002009-06-30T11:54:42.781-04:00I just now today found your website!

I love old houses. I grew up in a 19th century farmhouse, and live in a newer house that's a replica of one built beginning in 1795 -- the original was a work in progress for around 30 years.<br /><br />Now I want to see dishes -- lots of dishes! Thank you for visiting Affordable Accoutrements today. I enjoyed reading your nice comments. We'll have to visit each other often!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BillBill @ Affordable Accoutrementshttp://affordableaccoutrements.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-74065711004034964622009-06-30T00:10:59.168-04:002009-06-30T00:10:59.168-04:00I do like those plant stand and the plants by the ...I do like those plant stand and the plants by the windows!
