Solving the structural puzzle of crafting something to be functional, sturdy and long-lasting is part of the fun of this sort of work. Perhaps it's the metalsmith in me that still loves the engineering of these objects...Fun! <br />Warm regards,<br />ErikaParvum Opushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464815622667738686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146709882273582485.post-92048374356073547342014-04-21T08:29:58.442-04:002014-04-21T08:29:58.442-04:00Dear Jane and Lance,
Thank you for your very kind ...Dear Jane and Lance,<br />Thank you for your very kind words. We're enjoying the fun of stepping out beyond our usual commissions to make these sets for our very eager bridge- playing clients. We had no idea it was such a vibrant community! I suppose, especially now, connecting with dear friends over an evening of games and conversation is as precious as ever. <br />Warm regards,<br />ErikaParvum Opushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464815622667738686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146709882273582485.post-8202230371836464262014-04-21T08:20:51.101-04:002014-04-21T08:20:51.101-04:00Hello Jim,

The most charming sets available to those who still keep the tradition alive are, as you said, the vintage or antique ones... Perhaps that's why we had those requests for a new design-- the current mass-produced bridge accessories tend to be quite uninspiring... <br />Warm regards,<br />ErikaParvum Opushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464815622667738686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146709882273582485.post-81637696867892872222014-04-19T13:48:31.557-04:002014-04-19T13:48:31.557-04:00Hello, Erika,

Of course the result is very handsome!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />MarkMark D.

Each of the separate elements has obviously been given a great deal of thought and will surely be an absolute joy to not only look at but also use.<br /><br />The ribbon tags for lifting out the compartments are wonderfully elegant. The perfect solution for the problem of how to remove the items without spoiling the container. They will grace any piece of furniture they find their way on to.

I often see these when antiquing or at house sales, and they always invoke a certain nostalgia.<br /><br />Congratulations on so elegantly reviving this tradition.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.com
