Some Last Maintenance... I hope 2-17-16

Today I finished cleaning the baseboards, not a big deal and it went quickly.  The next task was to remount the ceiling light in the hall.  For some reason the light started hanging down from the ceiling and it turned out that there was a plastic backing plate above the light which deformed from the heat of the light.  So I went to the hardware store and found some pieces that I could use to remount the light.   However one of the supports for the glass light diffuser also broke and so I'm trying to fix that so see if we can get it put together properly again.  So that's a bit of a bummer at the end.
To take a bit of the frustration out of the process we decided to take a bit of a trip to see the artisanal shop of monasterial products.  It's run by some very nice ladies who volunteer to run the shop.  It's very interesting because there seems to be a little of everything: food, wine, jams, fancy dyed papers, clothing, lace, and even a little room of collectibles.  The last time we were here I found a copper
 pan cover and this time I walked in and found a beautiful little copper sauce pan.  Not the same size as the first one but who cares.  It turned out to be a brand from a business that was very popular about 100 years ago, so this pan is quite old, but it's in great shape.  The best part is that it's pretty small so that Deb could use it pretty easily.
We also picked up a pair of antique monogrammed linen sheets which Deb will use as new drapes in our bedroom at home.  Several years ago we got another pair which Deb made into drapes for our family room and she loves them, so now we will have new drapes in our bedroom.
