I will email Judy and tell her I have the directory - sorry I must have been speedreading earlier :)

Duh, ,yes, I was referring to the paper, but I believe I also have the directory....................:)

Susie: Are you referring to just a current issue of the paper? I was talking about the directory they used to send to subscribers yearly. Do they still do that? They are for sale on their website, but I thought maybe someone has one they don't use.

That's a great question I don't have an answer for yet. Since the next issue will have a lot of convention pictures and recaps, I am not in great need of a lot of content just yet. With your permission, I'd like to use your short story sometime in the future, and maybe you could write more of them that would not be previously read until it's in the newsletter. They are a lot of fun.

Any time anyone has articles or just even a half page of something they'd like to show off with a picture or two, I'll gladly accept it. Just send it to me at DRaitz@aol.com

Debi - I can send the Antique Week section to Judy - no problem. I will email her - just thought I would post here so to note one will be sent :)

Jane, can't wait to see the cats after the dogs!

Susie

Debi - when is your deadline for articles for the newsletter?
Jane

Hi, Susie: We've been lucky enough to have found some pretty neat ones. I should have pictures of them anyway to send to all my "cat" friends!

Thought it was about time to repost the link to the convention photos for anyone who may have missed it. It's about 7-8 pages back already!!

Quick favor from anyone out there who has a current copy of the AntiqueWeek Shop and Mall Guide that they do not use. Please email Judy Johnson at opensalt@frontiernet.net and get her address to send it to her. You will be reimbursed for postage. There are separate Central and Eastern editions and we need one of each.

Also, if anyone out there plans on attending a large show or flea market this year in your area, please email Judy and let her know. You would only be asked to place some flyers among the many that are usually there for the taking. This would also apply if you visit any antique shops or malls near your home or in your travels. We got plans in the works to get our groups going and growing and new ones started. Each and every one of you can help a lot by doing practically nothing. If you'd like to help a little more by maybe printing your own flyers to distribute in places you frequent anyway, we'd be very grateful. Many of you may not know that the current National Executive Board now consists of Judy Johnson, Mike Zagwoski and me. Everyone else has quit, so the next National Newsletter will be entirely in our hands. Any assistance in marketing as I just described would be greatly appreciated so we can focus on the next Newsletter. Thanks a bunch...

Oooh Jane, and I bet you have GREAT cat salts :) - My boys are a little disgusted with all my dog salts - I only have the one cat salt - Yikes!

Debi - Warn me before you do the cat salts. We don't have a digital camera so we have to have time to take the pictures, have them put on a CD, and get them on the computer. Thanks.
Jane

Ooooo, Judy! That is one lovely intaglio! I don't think the term the seller used has any real "definitive" application to your piece. It's more a description of the seller's interpretation of the design. These deeper intaglio "bowls" do typically have some sort of design on the sides. All I would need to know about yours (if it was mine)is that it's extra nice and gosh-darned pretty!

Eggo and Jane thanks … Green! Eggo knows how I feel about green. I love the blue one and I’m not a bit surprised that Eggo’s is pink, but Jane, if you ever decide to part with your green one, it can have a forever home with this old Irish lady here in Texas.

LOL Judy in Texas

Okay - I know what it was! When we used to be in the Black Angus (antique market in Adamstown, PA), the owner would only turn the heat on on Sundays when the market was open - and only high enough that you were comfortable sitting there with your coat on. Every Sunday morning when it was cold when we first came in, we would hear "explosions" - the cold glass shattering when the heat came on.
Jane

Hi, all: Catching up here. I think I missed four pages. Sandy - when that bear is finished visiting with Mary's Black Forest bears, he may certainly come here and visit with mine!
Hi, Judy: I love that intaglio! I have a green one in a jeweled frame. They are leaves around the outside of the salt.
There was something else, but now I just can't remember.
Jane

Toast has an interesting history. When fire places were in the parlour, bread was brought to the room for "tea" and gentlemen or young women had the honor of toasting it for everyone. Then it was placed in cooling racks so that the ladies would not burn their fingers on it. I've seen many references to that practice in old stories.

That intaglio is beautiful!!! You are so lucky, Judy in Texas!

Hi JUDY - Glad to know where it went - I had bid on it and then realized I had a pink one just like it -- So the outbid notice for a change was not heart breaking -- Helen Saults also has one -- I would put them in the same era and classification as any of the other intaglios in the jeweled frames - although this one fits much easier into the size and shape for an open salt than the others do - personally I do not think its original intention was for cigs, nuts or salt - I would imagine this one would have sat on a vanity or dresser - Perhaps even had a matching perfume bottle -- Maybe "Intaglio Jane" has some more info on them - It is one PRETTY piece and super congratulations !!!
