Mahnin'All: We've had three frosty ones & the growing season is certainly over. It has certainly triggered the foliage too. Leaves changing color much faster now. We picked all the green tomatoes left on the plants & they are now ripening in a large mixing bowl on the kitchen counter.
@scott : Nice Louis XV shakers. Never seen the shakers in that stain before. I'm firmly convinced now that Tom Burns had a green stain Louis XV Banana Bowl in one of his Victorian Glass auctions. I can see the brochure photo in my mind as clear as can be. I recall that the stain was very dark on it, almost a "Forest Green" color, in the same kind of "wash" effect as your shakers.
Next time I see Tom, I'll ask him about it. He has a photographic memory on these things. I usually see him at least once a year when I go down to the NECGA auction in Mass., but I didn't make it to this year's auction. Just as well, as I heard prices realized this year were quite high.
