Yes. The furniture thing had potential to turn into a boiling mess of hatefulness, but it didn't, thank goodness. Right now, I'm pulling things out of storage I haven't been able to display, so that's sort of neat. I will say, though - I HATE polishing big pieces of silver. UGH.
for big pieces Erin, have you tried the foil in a pan with boiling water and baking soda? I find it removes all the crevice stuff then I an just use a polish cloth. Not that I have a lot of large pieces but if you want them out- no way to keep it from happening
Congrats on the cuff sale, Erin and the 2 repeats Esme. That hedgehog is just too cute. At one time I wanted a live one. Of course there was a time I wanted a monkey and a chinchilla.
Photographing a custom ring. I wish my phone or tablet took better photos. They look fine on the phone and the tablet but if I upload to Etsy - I think they seriously look bad.
Pennee...definitely not dehydrated...fighting off allergies and aggravated by the heat. I'm drinking water and electrolytes like crazy. I could nearly float away.
Kit...the heat and humidity this year is brutal...whine away...I'll join in. I'm suppose to run again tonight, and I'm not really looking forward to it. I've already consumed 3 bottles of water this morning, one of which had electrolytes, and I'm trying to down at least 2 more before 4 pm today.
I found this awesome product called a Frog Togg. You run it under cool water and place around your neck like a bandana. It holds the water and cools as it evaporates. I wear one at the barn and I'm going to try one out tonight with my run. I'm hoping it will help a little bit.
I am done. My grandfather's miniature furniture is all along the top shelf (lightweight stuff up top!), my mother's Nippon chocolate set finally showed up (all unbroken), and the silver plate pieces I own have been polished and set up. They don't look perfect, and I'm okay with that.
There's still some space, but I'm sure I have more stuff squirreled away.
Good morning. I'm with you,Esme. Don't know whether it's the weather or just general laziness, but I'm accomplishing nothing lately. Have great plans in the morning, evening comes and I realize nothing got done.😾
Looks like the “upgrade” isn’t something I’m really interested in. But I’m not super happy about the fee increase. It is what it is.....just need to add 2% to my costs......not sure why they’re taking a cut of the shipping costs though. That’s pretty sleazy.
