That probably comes from growing up with a grandmother and mother who both had/has exquisite taste. My mother's taste in furniture and accessories is timeless. She has pieces from decades ago that are still in style which naturally includes some fostoria. <br />Sue @ Not the Good Scissors!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00402393361444784077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505841051755948862.post-79596121860217314292009-07-16T18:22:31.388-07:002009-07-16T18:22:31.388-07:00Oh My Goodness Bill, I'll take two lumps in my...Oh My Goodness Bill, I'll take two lumps in my tea, and how did you know that red was my favorite color.
