But if they were modern repros [I have a few moderns mixed in] that s a good price, market value. New ones are shiny and hollow; often floral designs whereas the antique balls are usually stars / calico or stripes/ plaid/ solid white.Lizzy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925662100321427762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-80497182577609083892017-07-05T12:57:28.998-04:002017-07-05T12:57:28.998-04:00Morning!

It also calmed him down bec he was terrified of fireworks.<br /><br />The flowers on my deck are ALL from our seed packets or summer bulbs [lilies, elie ears, dahlias] except the two lavenders. The dahlias esp are a surprise since the were supermarket cheapies.<br /><br />I measured the trek to the beach on my phone, it is 1.8 miles round trip, most over soft sand. The beach is huge this year! I m pretty tired.<br /><br />Thx for the cool photos, I'll email separately later.

I've heard that some dogs do. My Mom used to make German potato salad too. I always liked it. Tried to make it a couple of times myself, but it was never as good as hers.<br /><br />The house looks so festive. Is the flower pot on the right planted from your seeds? <br /><br />WOW! My heart is happy that you were able to spend time on the beach :) Yay you! That's a great way to swing into summer. Such nice friends to get you a chair too. Cute pic of the flip flops at the end of the walk. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing Lizzy, and Happy 4th to you and yours!<br /><br />KelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-79041644641143318952017-07-04T03:30:22.668-04:002017-07-04T03:30:22.668-04:00Happy Birthday America from a wintry S Africa.

Don't be hard on yourself - all the star runner needs is a fat border and a few bottles of our Douglas Green Beach House wine, a delicious snack platter or two and there you go.
