I do like Rosemary's suggestion above (Content in a Cottage)...they probably could cool your brow in a warm day. <br />I collect blue and white and black and white transferware, a discontinued pattern of silverplate, all things old and equine related and old books when they are of interest...sorry you asked? :-)<br />KarenGarden, Home and Partyhttp://gardenhomeandparty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910839235160715770.post-52913201485248344132012-05-26T19:49:44.529-05:002012-05-26T19:49:44.529-05:00Those are awesome, never heard of such a thing as ...Those are awesome, never heard of such a thing as balloon molds.
