Ummmm... I think it's on Washington Street and sells unusual home accessories. Just glanced at the ad while waiting half naked for the doctor.

Ah, thanks, Croque Madame, that's on the newly gentrified (and expensive now) of our old South End. We were in a street one block over where we biked for father's day for a few of the new trendy restaurants on Tremont Strret.
Have a wonderful 4th!!!

Croque Madame - you are welcome in my Limousin house!! (I firmly believe in dreams!) I will just post a message here the day I found it and completed a successful transaction!

No - I did not know there is a store named after me in Boston! This is very interesting - when I wanted to register on this forum, every name I tried was taken already, so I became impatient and thought I'll take "lekker" which is a very typical Afrikaans word to describe something very nice! Even the English people in South Africa use it because it is such a "lekker" word to express yourself or describe something!

I had a quick look at the website and must say I like the stuff "my shop" is selling!

Born and live in Melbourne Australia but believe i must have been from Salzburg in a previous life!!

Born in Houston, lived in different parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Florida. When I turned 18 I settled in Austin, Texas and have been here ever since. Hook 'em Horns!!

P. S. Salzburglover, I have always believed I was European in a previous life. Maybe that's why I keep going back to that part of the world. Hmmm....

Unlike some of the above posts, mine is somewhat less glamorous...born in Dundee, described by others on this board as the armpit of Scotland! Now living near York, in the north of England.

Aw, Fi_uk Your Dundee marmalade is very popular here. Never heard that terrible remark.
Welcome to all, new to the boar, and I hope you are having better weather than here in the Boston area.

Yes! I agree with cigalechanta! Dundee Orange Marmalade is a favorite in our house and what an awful thing to say about a place!
How is the weather there?
How is Boston weather? Ours is hot/humid..nothing new ~

It's hot and humid here in Austin, as usual in the summer. Because of Westerns, none of which were actually filmed in Texas, everyone thinks it's a dry desert here--NOT TRUE for the most populated parts of the state, including the capitol city of Austin. However on humid days like today I wish it were. :-)

Thansk for your nice welcome to the board, cigalechanta!! It's great to be a Fodorite!!

Born and reared in Oregon with all education including grad school and the went to Iowa for more ed. and a wife.
