How funny!...I can totally relate to your blog post. How funny! Thanks! My husband carried a big saucier with a lid on the plane from Paris!! I love copper too, but he is nuts about it, and regrets that new copper cookware is not tin lined any more, even though it is costly to have re-done, he prefers it. I do have a question for you - doesn't the kosher salt scratch the copper? I was just thinking we need to attack the pots! colonygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158410234506744254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738018527346253793.post-889137617616033862014-02-24T16:26:34.258-06:002014-02-24T16:26:34.258-06:00Found you through the Inspire Me Tuesday linkup. ...Found you through the Inspire Me Tuesday linkup.

Just like the warm glow of them. Seems right for all seasons. And Sarah, my mom & I had to buy a extra big suitcase on a return trip from AZ after spending 2weeks there for the same reason....but that was back when you could bring a trunk load of luggage & not get charged.

It stays pretty dark, because it's just too much work to keep it polished. I've found the lemon and salt work wonders, but following it up with a copper polish keeps it looking great. Lots of elbow grease!<br />Your pieces are charming, and I love the story of how the pot returned home with your MIL. I've hand carried many a treasure that wouldn't fit in the suitcase. I've also been known to buy an extra suitcase to get something home. ;-)<br />I look forward to seeing these in their new home.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738018527346253793.post-59668045237021074172014-02-21T22:11:58.497-06:002014-02-21T22:11:58.497-06:00Oh, Cindy.

How wonderful that you have the story that is connected to the piece. I wish I had my "collection" of copper back-I gave it to my daughter and it looks like she gave it away. I haven't the heart to ask her- xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.com
