I had been watching this one on Etsy for a while. I finally decided to buy it a couple of weeks ago. So, after a long, slow trip from Mirepoix, France it arrived today. And no, it did not smell of onions, celery and carrots.

Thanks Joe!
Yes, it is the same one. I had no idea of the size, but I figured that the best time to bid on a Vimenet was when I saw one. The 8 days waiting for the auction to end were excruciating...

This one gives me a 30's vibe. Any opinions in agreement or otherwise...
