that's what i love about the south....

viz. the last two posts. sterling service and food assistance. and i can't tell if the stuff i'm sweeping from under the antique welsh dresser is the termite stuff i'm supposed to be looking out for, or the stuff  Bugman throws down to get rid of them in the first place...

replacements, ltd

this is my poor silver pattern. do you think that Replacements, which needs some support just now, might be able to identify it?





it says " R   STERLING..." and then there is a hallmark: a rectangle, a circle, and a diamond...  it is a service for six, and certainly not valuable, and i DO have several pieces gone missing over the years...
