Again - CONGRATULATIONS MOJO - The windows are gorgeous. As I said, I've seen the quilted windows before but your's is fantastic, love those colors. Now, that shutter shelf, is beautiful. Mine too has the vine in that area and it just makes it pop out so much more. You've done a great job on all of them. GOOD LUCK!

Thank you Julia. It is a good bit darker than the photo on the Art gallery site. Rachel said she had been reading an article in the Daylily journal about that. Which reminded me I haven't looked at my journal yet. kay

I'm sorry, sable! I don't get reply posts sent to my inbox so if I space a thread I won't know if anyone's replied. Well, if you think about the coming water crisis as the earth warms, Arizona will look less and less attractive, IMO. Some predictions have folks moving en masse to areas like the Willamette Valley and western WA where there's less of a shortage of moisture :) Interesting theory about Teri, too. I'm thinking if I were in her position, if I'd been treated decently and offered 9 mil, I'd probably take it. But if people had treated me the way they treated her, I'd say sod off to any bids those condescending sobs deigned to toss my way. I could easily see myself thinking "after all the bs I've taken from you, now that you think it might be valuable you're running to me with insulting lowball bids. Nice try." awm, re realities of family life -- it sure isn't how I grew up, but then again my parents were pretty nonexistent in my childhood. I'm imagining DD will get to talk to her therapist about how Mom was always repainting or remodeling or tiling something in the house LOL...

I thought that the black rubber tip isn't supposed to dip below the bottom of the framed artwork anyway. There's a specialty company on the web called www.swanpicturehangers.com, and their photos of these do not show anything dipping below the bottom of the frame, so you shouldn't see the black tip anyway. Otherwise I'd just pull the rubber tip off, as ljwrar advises. The felt protector might very well be too large and show, tho--if so, I'd experiment with one of those clear rubber bumpers that are used beneath glass tabletops and on the backs of cabinet doors and picture frames.

This OP has posted several dilemmas lately. I started reading this one from the onset and yes, there are several of the more critical posts missing. She clearly was happy about the selections and appeared to want validation from the people that had helped her with her other dilemmas. One of the first comments on my first dilemma on here was devastating to me and left me very upset. Fortunately, I have a thick skin and just flagged it and then along came some wonderful people to help me. Sometimes certain contributors just go too far. I’ve seen many OPs run off from this forum, but this is the first I’ve seen someone completely delete their account. THINK before you comment people! You could make or break someone’s day with your words

Thanks all,

crafty, you gave me the idea thanks so much..... that shutter shelf is actually the whole shutter all hardware included....I got lucky and bought 36 vintage plantation shutters for 25.00....one side of shutter is louvered and the other is paneled....i think the age of them is mid 1800...

lydia.. I would love to own a store where I could get people to create trash into treasure and sell or display works....hmmm what do you think of the name Elegant relic lol

Hazie I will let you know how everything goes...my whole christmas will be busy since if i sell one piece I have to replace it asap ....sad part is no check for work until mid jan....
