I recently heard about the Florence Adams website. I think the skirts are lovely, and the prices are not too expensive. Has anyone ever ordered from this company before? They have lovely Polish pottery, too.

Y'know folks, it's not always a good thing to link all these wonderful resources ... I'm not sure our budget can handle it!

Definitely click on this link -- the story is VERY interesting and I'm excited to help them out a bit (even if it DOES blow the budget!)

That pottery is so gorgeous! I don't know why, but it's making me think of lovely cable knit sweaters and fireplaces.

Ah, so tempting. That is the exact apron I would choose, too.

This is a good excuse to add more Polish pottery to my very small collection. I want so much to have enough to use regularly.

Mary G,

Ok, good point. I guess I should add a rope rug (reddish, brownish) and a mantel brimming with holly and fat white candles and a steaming mug of hot chocolate WITH MINI MARSHMELLOWS to complete the picture. Better?
