If you need inspiration on designs/ color combinations go take a look at some antique pottery (china, porcelain). I have seen some of the most gorgeous plates that I just want to own for no reason other than the fact that they are stunning. I always get like this when I am at Carol's -- I start dreaming about antiques.....

You need to come to our home if you love antiques. They are everywhere, including china. I love old china, dinnerware, and anything for the kitchen. Then I started buying antiques for the house because they just don't fall apart like new furniture does and it's cheaper. Plus I really love antiques.
Then MIL decided to bequeath a ton more antiques. Now we have beautiful furniture in the garage because I have no place to store it. On her very recent trip she brought up the old chopping block she's had for ages. I always loved it, but could never find one like it. Well now I know why. It's because it's very early American and there aren't that many like this one. I use it though as it's been used for hundreds of years. DH was scared to use it at first until his mother came over and chopped an onion on the thing for him. LOL
Since I can't come there right now, you are always welcome here. You would be staying in a room entirely decorated with antiques including a post civil war rocker.
I would bet you that Carol's is just like it! I will come to visit you, Starlia. I grew up around junk. I love this stuff.

I would love to have you here! What a blast it would be. I need someone to go with me to Wimberly Days Saturday and all my friends are busy. Can you get to Austin by Saturday morning? LOL
You would love some of my stuff. I owned an antique store over 30 yrs ago. I kept a few of the nicest pieces over the years. I have a wonderful collection of depression glass and clocks,also. Moving will be so much fun! Barbara Dream Master

NWIH (Ok I just made that up but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out). I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah. Up to my tailbone in dust and antiques, LOL. But thanks for the offer.

Barbara -- I would LOVE your stuff, no doubt. However, I am so glad that you don't know me well enough that I am obligated to help you move, LOLOLOLOL. Doing this once is more than enough.
