    Marko - That is a wonderful couch! (whatever the colors are)

    Oh, and the butterfly is super too :) (I just love sparkly stuff)

    I would have snagged that couch too. Thelma here prefers my chair, at least once I've warmed it up for her. 101_0047.JPG

    Terry, my cats took awhile to get used to the couch. I have to post a picture of the one I had to let go there. I just didn't have the room. It was a pink love seat. Cats are the best lap warmers ever. Thelma looks comfy :)

    Greg, I have two blue glass topped coffee tables. I thought I told the story here about them, but that might have been on the old ebay discussion boards. I will take a better picture of the one that I use as a picture display and tell the story of how I got them and the glass (two different places.)

    I have 6 glasses, I think the set had 8 different, and also rocks glasses, stirrers, ice bucket. They are not marked, but I believe made by Georges Briard.

    The teapot looks very cool! I'm confused ... What goes in the different portions of the pot? Not a tea drinker, here.

    Teapot?
    Is that not a drip coffee maker?
    Dang - I am not fond of tea.

    You could be right, Messi. I thought the same thing at first, but then read drg's text and just followed his/her lead. Seeing it apart could solve the question.

    Only just on my first cup of coffee. ;)

    It's a stacking teapot. The top is for cream, the middle for sugar, and the base for tea (or coffee I guess). I've seen quite a few in chintz pottery, but not any in silver or chrome. finds2e.JPG

    And my mistake, it's Silvercraft, not Farberware.

    Very cool! I would have it around just for the design! (since I don't take cream or sugar in my Earl Grey.)
