Now you're just teasing me, aren't you. I have those red checkered canisters--except they are new. Picked them up at Comptoir de Famille in Brussels. Don't know where to put them in my new kitchen tho. Duh.

Tara, You made me feel better about my worldly possesions that are collecting on my porch and my huge dining table getting ready for my yard sale. I can find new and interesting things once I get to Europe.
