HEY DON...hope you had a great trip...my wife and I have been tlaking about going to Whittle's for months now...We saw him at the Elizabethtown quilt show in September and reminded us of that much need trip...its only about 75 miles away for us....Did you get a nice haul...by the way since I last talked to you I have begun collecting old sad flat irons...have some really nice ones...my new favorites are two childrens flat irons that are 2 and 3 inches big...almost bought one saturday that weighed 40 lbs but was more like a truck stop than a door stop...hope life is treating you kindly...Jim
