SWS's Profile

I recall reading several years ago in Southern Living, in a feature on sweet tea, the writer's directive that the tea should be sweetened with "a thundershower of sugar."

For this Southern girl semi-permanently stranded in the Midwest, this recipe and the subsequent discussion is like getting a missive from home. Thanks, everyone. :)

The paint is on the underside of the glass base. It doesn't have to be touched -- I was unfortunately careless.

And, fwiw, the shade shown in the picture above doesn't come with the lamp. That combination doesn't interest me either. This is the shade that went home with me, when I bought the lamp in the store: http://tinyurl.com/6x7z7a.

I too would like to do a little time traveling -- to stop the previous owner of our 90-year-old flat from ripping out the butler pantry's vintage cabinetry. He installed dark granite, glass shelving, and mirrors. I've seen the original built-ins in other condos, and it hurts.

Two and three? Change the flat's orientation from east-west to south-north and add a second bedroom.
