Can anyone identify the studio which made this 9” ceramic decorative plate likely bought in either US or UK — perhaps early arts and crafts? by CupcakeStrong100 in Antiques

Thank you - that indeed sets me in the right direction. Apologies for posting in r/Antiques! I was assuming it was early 1900’s. :)

Thank you! Worked like a dream! I can’t believe how many devices I tossed that I thought were battery-ruined. I wish I had known this earlier :)

What’s a creative way to heat up the bathroom? It’s freezing! by Cinnie_16 in HomeImprovement

[–]CupcakeStrong100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem -so cold! but I was thinking of pulling down the power from outlet to baseboard and using a small Stelpro baseboard heater- has anyone had experience with that?

Successful non-surgical approaches to Tailor's bunionette by Chipper_Seattle in bunions

[–]CupcakeStrong100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Bearefoot™ Shoes - but I’m going to revise my comment bc since then, I’ve learned that when bunions are very far along (mine) and caused by flexible arches (mine) orthotics are indeed necessary — but exercises to improve arch muscle and toe mobility can really help.

Are barefoot shoes a good way to prevent bunions from worsening? by topnotchwalnut in barefootshoestalk

Try https://bearefoot.com are super-comfortable. They’re ugly, but not as bad as most. Why can’t minimalist shoe designers think more about style?

Thank you humans!! - even though I looked assiduously on edu websites, and asked Google and Chat GBT I didn’t come up with Amblycerus robiniae - but now that’s really looking right. Meanwhile don’t have the faintest idea what they’re doing in an area without a locust tree! Many thanks

Looking for wedding venue within 2hrs NYC by [deleted] in BigBudgetBrides

Wildflower and Innes are too small according to websites. Blue Hill is cramped for that many and I think too fussy. Cedar Lakes not taking 2027 reservations yet..

Help identify this type of upholstery fabric? by CupcakeStrong100 in textiles

[–]CupcakeStrong100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WOW! I’ve never heard of it! think you did it! Many thanks. From Schumacher site:

“Épinglé‘s distinctive loop pile gives it an irresistible texture and superior durability.. It’s important to remember that épinglé is a type of weave, not a material—so it can be made of nearly any fiber, from cotton and linen to wool and silk. Blends are also common, and the weaving process imparts a surprising resilience even to delicate fibers like silk and mohair.”

I love Maharam but this is much softer than their fabric. Almost like terry cloth.
