-> ->  RH> Mine has those in it all the time so we can reach the stuff at 
the
-> ->  RH> bottom. Otherwise I have to stand on my head to get at some 
things.
-> 
-> -> Neither Steve nor I have that problem.
-> 
->  RH> Yours must be a lot smaller.  This one is a chest freezer about the
->  RH> size of a loveseat.
-> 
-> Ours is considerably smaller, only about 7.5 cubic feet. Wish it were
-> bigger but it fits the space we've got it in. We had an 18 cubic foot
-> one at one time but it was in a roll over just before Steve went into
-> the the Army. Still worked so we sold it to my brother; it died about 5
-> years ago. Got a 10 cubic foot one while in AZ; that was a good sized
-> one but it wasn't in good enough shape to ship to GA from HI so we gave
-> it away & replaced it in GA with the current one.
-> 
I'm not sure how big this thing is, but it's old.  As in harvest gold old.
 
->  RH> some nice copper wall molds (decorative) that we sold at a yard
sale
->  RH> for him for cheap.  They belonged to his late first wife.
-> 
-> Just not his or your sister's idea of kitchen decor?

Them either!  Somebody liked them though, or maybe he was a scrap metal 
dealer. (G)  
 
->  RH> Mine are everywhere.  One went to Paris, one's headed to Australia,
->  RH> and some went down the street.
-> 
-> A lot further flung than mine are. AFAIK, mine are all in the states,
-> tho they range from HI eastwaed.

A bunch have gone to missionaries my church supports, and more are awaiting 
transport.  One's going to Moldova this summer.  
 
->  RH> Me neither.  My grandmother wasn't much of a quilter.  HER mother 
was
->  RH> though, but she died in 1959 at the age of 89.
-> 
-> My father's mother sewed, don't know if she quilted but I've got some of
-> her other handiwork. I've a set of butterflies I should make applique
-> wall hangings with--they're not replica but original 1940's, maybe even
-> 1930s, fabrics.

Do you have some old 1930s muslin to put them on?  I don't, but have
rescued 
similar pieces.
 
-> -> I like both; the white has a delicate flavor that compliments some
-> -> things where the bolder taste of the green would overpower.
-> 
->  RH> Even the green isn't that bold.
-> 
-> No, but compared to the white it is a much stronger taste. I'm hoping
-> somebody will have some at the farmer's market tomorrow but its been
-> such a crazy spring weatherwise, I don't know. We'll try to get there a
-> bit earlier too, could be that it's gone before we come.

Ours doesn't start until June at least. It's just as well; stuff would have 
frozen today.
