I think all of us here in the northern hemisphere are ready, REALLY ready for spring. <BR/><BR/>I've never been to a S&H store but I used to get their catalog and dream... <BR/><BR/>As for a quick [and very random] quip for the Swede: "Would you like fries with that?" <BR/><BR/>Here's to Mrs. Tingleys everywhere. I look forward to your photo when she makes her debut.

I too made a pilgrimage to the Mill Valley store to buy my Hawes watering can.

My wellies, from the time of quality S&H stuff also, developed a crack and they refused to replace them even though I kept the receipt, for ten years! I swore off them then and there. It was easy for the downhill slide had already begun when it was sold from the originator. I used to have a goal of visiting every store of theirs. That was before there were so many all over the US and did make it to the flagship in Marin County among others. Now they sell their wares at Target.

The high price translates to longevity; mine are stored in a garage that freezes in winter and bakes in summer. You might want a shorter model for working around the garden though; these are almost knee high and I use them for tramping through snow or blackberry patches."Daffodil Planter" Charlotte Germanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892686231029047130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5043852825601326628.post-47265688118714139482009-02-18T14:57:00.000-08:002009-02-18T14:57:00.000-08:00Welcome Darla!
