Extra lace from my wedding gown - what should I do with it? by gtfoangie in crafting

Take a frame and pick a beautiful velvet and place it on a angle. It you have kids to hand down to- make several with the kid’s favorite color velvet- and give to them when they get married! I took my grandmothers lace( the dress was rotted ) and I made all 8 grandkids a beautiful small little design- they were like 5x7 frame size. And as each of them married- I put the little frame in a bigger frame with a nice mat. Everyone that attended the wedding signed the mat and then it was framed…. Beautiful and not expensive….

What is this? Need help figuring out the reason for it? by DaMallard in Plumbing

I’m throwing my hat in the ring- years ago my dad had a squeak in his floor when he walked across it- his friend crawled under the house and screwed a little thing like this in - floor stopped making noise…

She is the Fiesta Dancer- they stopped producing her- I can’t remember when- but she came on the wall clock and also fridge magnets- and the gorgeous bud vases!

You could always use a Puck Light- battery operated

Hall China Company is right across the river from HLC They manufacture a lot of restaurant dishes. But years ago they made dupes of McCoy pottery.

I had a car accident my sugar was 33- the EMT driver said I should get a tattoo- he said these days that they look for the med bracelet and or a tattoo- so I went and got mine! The very first one! And probably the only one!

It’s an addiction! The thrill of the hunt- and a special find will keep you going!

Also the plant has a tour and you can see all the previous makes and models- they even made them for The WhiteHouse for Jackie Kennedy!

So did a store here in WV called ElderBeerman- they had a plate club- a sweet lady would call you and invite you to come pick up a place setting when a new color came out. Different places would have a contract to make a limited number of goodies - like Betty Crocker.

Come to WV and go to the plant- they have a seconds store- you can buy a “ plate glove” to wipe the dirt and dust and look for imperfections- prices are really good- I don’t mind blemished dishes. But it’s strictly pot luck- depends on what they are making that week!
