CHEAP (?) BROWN TRANSFERWARE

 When our usual Wednesday morning coffee group got together recently; my friend, Susan, brought me a gift -- this brown transferware relish dish.
 She said she found it "cheap, really cheap"!  
 She assumed it was inexpensive because of the brown discoloration on the back.  I told her that was the way we like it!
I'm glad I have friends out there looking for my interests, because I certainly haven't found any brown transferware "cheap, really cheap" for a long time.  
Thanks, Susan.

How lovely and how lucky you are to have such nice friends who recognize your taste. No matter how 'cheap', it's the thought that counts, right? Vicki in Louisville KY

Dear Sally, what is happening to the beautiful state of Colorado..? Selling pot all over the place. They are in for a whole lot of trouble, I think. :0(
