OOOH look at that snazzy metal table! ooh, deco dresser w/ mirror. OOH, i love that white little drop leaf kitchen table! WANT WANT WANT, tho paint it black. ooh, old stove. and very nice condition.

well, later yesterday i went thru my silverplate pattern book. the pattern i wanted is from 1934 and the pieces looked very good. but then, the pattern i thought was from the 60's is from 1919. and they look new! 2 other should be good ebayables too.
