With the changes in seasons, I believe we all need a change, too! <BR/><BR/>Everything is wonderful. Hold on to your dishes though.

Sometimes I'll sneak in the Portmerion Botanic garden too. I'm a red and blue transferware girl and switch my Blue Willow for the red Tonquin nearer the holidays. I'm so glad you give us dish "junkies" a place to feel ok!!! Some of these patterns came from my Mom & Gram and I feel good carrying on the choices they made with our friends and family. You don't think it's something in our NJ water do you?!!!

I'm thinking of painting my cupboards--my early 1960's era den adjoins the kitchen and they both have paneling which reminds me of yours--Thing is I want to paint the cabinets, but not the paneling which is also above the cabinets about 12". Any ideas? I've thought of painting them cream--can you tell me what paint brand and color is on yours? Is it oil based enamel? Thanks!
