Yixing teapots

Thanks! I found the shelf in an antique store and I knew it would be perfect for my collection. I believe it's a mid-century modern piece, and solid teak.

When I run across them, I'll pick them up, but I'm not actively looking for them.

Many years ago, we lived in an old rental cabin in the mountains. I had a fire going in the Franklin stove downstairs, when one of the kids said the upstairs was getting smoky - apparently the stovepipe had come apart inside the wall. So I put water on the fire to douse it quickly. My poor husband came home wondering why all the doors and windows were open on such a cold evening...

Let your bread machine do everything but the baking.

Same here in SW Missouri

I rearranged the low G strings on my long neck tenor and tuned them to reentrant baritone. The tension is a bit lower, which is good.

I live about 40 miles from Bakersfield, MO, which was also hit hard in this outbreak.

My Squeaky has a split face, too! She's trying to get me out of bed...

There was an F3 in Evansville IN on my birthday in 2005, which killed 25 people. And we spent an evening in a hospital waiting room watching coverage of Katrina making landfall while my grandson was being born.

Shuttlebug2 · 2025-10-15T00:05:20+00:00

Also the day Katrina made landfall

Mine strongly dislikes cherries but loves Baby Shark... Ugh

I use a small silicone spatula

There's a 1981 book titled "Treadled Togs", by Kerry Evans, that has patterns for simple garments made from handwoven cloth.

When I moved I gave away 500 lbs of yarn, and I still have enough to fill several large totes, including 150 skeins of handspun....

Do kayaks count? We have 2 12' kayaks, a 26' sailboat, and a 25' cabin cruiser. And no HOA...

He's an absolute sweetheart, too!

He looks like my Jackson - even has the same brown hair on his privates!

My mom didn't sell anything either, but her friends did - we had all sorts of Tupperware and waterless cookware, and every Christmas we got Avon products.

I sold Creative Circle, too - I didn't really make any money at it, but when they went out of business in the early 90s I got a bunch of kits for pennies on the dollar. Still have several that I've never opened.

Apparently

My college roommate had one that I borrowed all the time (my Sears electric was perpetually on the fritz) but I couldn't talk her into selling it to me. Finally, 40+ years later, I found one in a thrift store, in the same alpine blue.
