    Lots of good stuff and I know you can’t wait to set it all out. I meant to take a pic of my stuff together, but had such a mess that I never grabbed the camera.

    You did, indeed, find some treasures, some of which remind me much of trips I have made to France. You, no doubt, will find wonderful ways in which to use them.
