In their last reincarnation, they wore gorgeous prints of blue and white porcelain vases and bowls on a coral ground. They were like butterflies on our dark teak floors. <BR/><BR/>They don't go in my small, NY house anymore, but I can't bear to part with them. They are covered with plastic in the garage until I figure them out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-59722616168275201952007-09-27T09:04:00.000-04:002007-09-27T09:04:00.000-04:00Anonymous- That is a great print.
