As now, any time will be O.K. about quilt pieces: yes. I am over china shakers; over 400 sets. Guess it was me, as I've seen. $2. Put N.R. several times. Be glad to get any sets you can get (no glass). Do you think the nephew could or would make me some sets out of pecans if I'd send him the price? My man is some better, but not well. I'd like them to exchange with other folks as have something peculiarly collectable for our state: just cut ends and bone out the insides; shellac. I have a pr. Let me.
