If you like Stickley as much as I do (and history as well) next time you are on the east coast of the US you are welcome to our chair and a half that opens out into a twin bed so you can check out Craftsman Farms - http://stickleymuseum.org. It is about halfway between @MetsFan5 and me and there is a Wegman's just a bit down the road and a nice Viet-Thai restaurant, Lemongrass: http://www.lemongrassnj.com/ as well.

Hubby and I have discussed visiting the factory - the rug rat interferes but one day for sure!

 Lest you think I have posted this not only in the wrong topic but perhaps even in the wrong forum.... When Kerry goes away and visits an expo/food show/airport lounge, she grabs some pens for me. I think she outdid herself this time.

 

Before anyone gets their knickers in a knot, she had already made the rounds and this was what she called her “pen round”. She was quite open about it to the booth attendants and they willingly handed over pens! I think I’m good for a while —  especially since I have just rediscovered my fountain pens!  No worries. I will make sure some of them find a home where they will be welcomed.

(It might be stretching it just a little to say they are food related but each one of them promotes a food product being exhibited at the trade show of the PMCA.)😋

Maybe I should rewrite that song's lyrics for this thread.

Probably not necessary... pretty sure we've all figured out the proper number of toys to have is N + 1.

Let's say the singer was admired more for her big eyes than for her voice.

Her eyes... yeah, that's what all the fuss was about.

Been there - but yes older models are very attractive. A few years back I saw some beautiful new pieces in a clearance place that had been obtained from a furniture store that went out of business - should have sprung then!

If you do come to Manlius, please remember that you're only an hour's drive from us! (And the biggest Wegmans in Syracuse is on the way there.)
