Be sure to rinse the Awesome off quickly as it can ruin the finish. I took the enamel finish off of my house bathtub when I soaked some oven grates in it. I use Awesome products all the time because they do work and for $1 they can't be beat.

Claire, I LOVE these little things! Last year I bought Asian pears I didn't think I wanted just to GET those wrappers! I use them around some square glass jars my sister sent me (from Houston to California) because we are both container freaks and understand one another. So these are small canisters in the trailer that use space very efficiently because of their shape. Some kind of organic coffee came in them, and the pear wrappers just fit.

We don't carry glass drinking glasses, but I do have some special china coffee mugs. These all fit inside a plastic drawer with acrylic glasses in between to keep them safe.

I think my husband suspects that outfitting the trailer is a bit like "playing house."

He may be right

Linda, it's not very gourmet! I posted details about how it went together here: http://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f...ove-76375.html

I have some photos of the process and the results I still would like to post on that thread.
