another 50's little house, north east side long drive there in the rain with our downtown freeway construction. well, lots of ebayables.i did get some 8¢ cloves tho. those things are way expensive and it has a ton in the jar. and those frames are a very very expensive style. i think we paid about $12 a foot for similar. take out the crap in them and use them for my art.
