What have I just done? No Porthault, but lots of really, really pretty things that I thought I was OVER and now I probably should have kept some of them. I'm going to regret something I just know it. Maybe you'll run across some others some day soon.<br /><br />I just can't stand to have a bunch of unused stuff hanging around! Hope you are well and maybe home for a bit.

My biggest: at an auction (fortunately many years ago) I was bidding on a very unattractive light fixture loaded with crystals--I didn't go higher (over $200) because so many of the hundreds (no kidding) of crystals were fractured. Yes, that ugly fixture was loaded with cut ROCK CRYSTAL pendants--next.

Bummer! My MIL told me stories about their family linen. One favorite cloth had a hole in it and her mother put the sugar bowl over it and when people would ask for sugar (I assume for coffee), my MIL was coached to say that she would serve! I have that cloth now.

A chair I saw on Craigslist, a beautiful glass jar sold at a yard sale (that my dad brewed beer in), my grandparents painting that I never claimed. Its hard to let go. But, hopefully, in the future you and I will be the ones to find the Porthault linens at the sale.Capella Kincheloe Interior Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433277176181869271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-55159985473715531452010-05-20T09:29:12.870-04:002010-05-20T09:29:12.870-04:00Although not Porthault, I am thinking of things to...Although not Porthault, I am thinking of things to do with the bits and pieces of great fabrics that I have... coasters? cocktail napkins? tea towels?Pigtown*Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775512940294150252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-6990797245502198052010-05-20T09:08:28.771-04:002010-05-20T09:08:28.771-04:00Fun post!
