Following are photos of a portion of Mother’s collection of glassware, china, and other bric-a-brac. She had so much of this sort of thing that it is impossible for us to keep it all and the items shown are mostly those that we have decided not to keep. Many of them have been given to family members and close friends. Most of the rest will be put up for sale at a gallery in Monterey. If any other friends would like to have some of these things please let us know. They range from trinkets to valuable antiques. We really hope that someone will want a sofa pillow or two (Photo 63). There are clearly more than we can use and they will bring little or nothing at a sale. The items were grouped to make reasonable photos — some are coherent groups but in many cases the items in a group are unrelated. A few things appear more than once — we got a bit confused while setting up the shots.
I just got a new digital camera and still have a few quirks to work out. Therefore, many of the pix are a bit darker than they should be. We will be happy to send out a better quality closeup image of any item anyone is especially interested in. The scale shown in most of the photos is in inches.
