HI everybody, thanks for your kind words. Part of the fun of filling the house with fun vintage things is the hunt after all.
Louis, like Greg I’ve only heard that plant referred to as a “Mother-In-Law tongue” plant.
Rick that little door is the Mail Slot which we still use as a mailbox. Our entire neighborhood was built in the early 1930's.
Don, its only 8” of snow, that doesn’t keep us Minnesotans at home, otherwise we’d be home for three months and think of all the Apex washers I could miss finding, not to mention getting fired for not showing up at work

This snow, and others to come on top of it, wont melt until late Feb or early March. We just press 4-Wheel drive and off we go. Actually the estate sales were as mobbed as usually today.
Venus I will send a bit of snow down your way. Actually when I do a convention again in a few years I was thinking it might be fun for the southerners to have it in January.
