Post Primary Tuesday Random Notes
I recently got a pattern glass goblet off of eBay. It kinda broke my heart that it only went for $17 even though I was glad to get it for that. Acorn Band...made by Portland Glass Company (1863-1873). I think Portland made some of the most beautiful patterns and finely designed molds in pattern glass. Incredible detail. I love this pattern and am now kicking myself for selling the water pitcher we had in that pattern. Oh well.
I was sorry to see Sam Rosenberg lose the primary and I can't help but wonder what the results would have been like without the ham-handed mailing/tv campaign. Oh well. We'll see what happens with Sam in the future. Right now though...onward...and hoping we can keep the district Democrat.
My poor sweet pea Owen is home sick again with a fever and cold. It's been remarkably quiet in the house. Good God in heaven...please don't let anyone else get it....sigh.
And now, hopefully a correctly proofread poster for Irene Kelley. And could I love Mark Gerking more? He put NASTURTIUMS on the poster. One of my all time favorite flowers. I just ordered two packs of seeds!
If I'm not mistaken this is a song she wrote with the inimitable Peter Cooper. She's got co-writes with Peter, Eric Brace and my beloved David Olney on this album. This is going to be a great show. Please spread the word on this....would really like to get some new people in for this....if you have friends that are more into traditional/bluegrass...this would be a good show to get them to.....we would greatly appreciate the help!
Oh, and then there's this one from awhile back.... You might have heard it by Alan Jackson but it was written by Irene Kelly and Mark Irwin.
