Qbee, I love your pictures. It all looks fabulous in your kitchen. Your cobalt rolling pin is a beauty - I hope it's secure on the wall.
I know what you mean about repros when it comes to DHs. Mine bought a ton of depression glass on ebay, some the real thing and some not so real.... after I had it for awhile I finally, gently broke it to him that I was quite sure a few items were repo's. He didn't say too much! Anyways, I think he learned his lesson and that's the only reason why I told him - fearful he might keep doing the same thing.
I have alot of patterns as I don't collect any one. I have a ton of blue bubble, pink dogwood, and fireking. Have some of iris,florentine,floral and diamond, cameo, windsor and many more. Love it all. I keep some on display and use some of it fairly regularly, but alot is in my cupboards and not used too often. I also love collecting kitchenware from the 30's - 60's.
