I love seeing what other people have done with their homes. This is really pretty Judy. <BR/><BR/> I've got a crocheted tablecloth that is a little bit similar to yours, but is in the closet at the moment. seeing this picture makes me want to get it out again and decorate. It was a wedding present years ago, and I use it from time to time in different rooms.<BR/>And after reading this post, I think i'm going to go make my girls dust all the knick knacks.

Thank you. The table cover is creative and looks great! <BR/><BR/>You may dust the collection; however, as I agree with utenzi on dusting. When we built this house, I had cabinets built into the dining room (about 8 or 9 feet wide, I don't recall) with the upper doors having glass fronts so that we may observe, without dusting, my grandmother-in-law's china and such. In the basement, the upper cabinets also have glass fronts so that our collection of mugs can be seen without dusting. Well, I've washed all of the stuff in the dining room cabinet <I>once</I> since we moved in. It looks like something that should be done every four years. As the cabinet doors in the basement virtually never get opened, I haven't even <I>looked</I> to see if dust is accumulating. <BR/>Cop CarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10194064.post-1144876725096622652006-04-12T16:18:00.000-05:002006-04-12T16:18:00.000-05:00I like the tassles!The glassware in the windows lo...I like the tassles!<BR/><BR/>The glassware in the windows looks so pretty.<BR/><BR/>I have a pink serving plate, candy dish, and bowl of my Gramillo's that is so pretty.
