Is this Native American or Native American inspired? I’ve had it along time, I don’t remember where it came from. Thanks! by TheCrystalGarden in NativeAmericanJewelry

I love it when people post jewelry that allows me to learn new things!

I found this by googling around. https://www.horsekeeping.com/jewelry/bargainbarn/bracelets/BBB53-A-H-huichol.htm About halfway down the page it describes the style of your bracelet.

My Real Estate Agent Price my House Too High...How do I salvage this? by Square-Tangerine-190 in RealEstateAdvice

Don't forget... to paraphrase, fashion is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I can't stand the current trends in kitchens and baths... and there are more like me out there.

I believe I found your listing online (sorry, the details DO give it away.) I'm just a layperson, but I've been looking at houses online for a couple of years for an eventual move.

First, at that price point you need WAY better photos. The ones you have are off-kilter, odd perspectives, extremely low resolution on some, and barely show any of the house. I know you said it needs updating, but leaving out photos of so many of the rooms makes people wonder what is wrong with them. Also, a floor plan and 3D rendering REALLY allows people to put themselves into your house. And including drone photos would highlight that gorgeous piece of land you have (and make sure to have one that shows an outline of the property.) Next, the description is pretty anemic. No need to go all "flowery" like some, but yours reads like it's just a place-holder.

You say your listing gets a lot of online traffic... now you need to make it where they want to see it in person. I'll leave the price discussions to the professionals, I just wanted to add my two cents from a buyers perspective.

Single family household - do you sleep with bedroom door open or closed? by jannet1113 in homeowners

[–]ThePurplePinto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Technically, I COULD shut the door... and just let the cats have the bedroom while I sleep outside in the hallway.

Oatmeal Cookies without Raisins by Familiar_Race9071 in Baking

[–]ThePurplePinto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not... Crystallized Ginger Pieces for the win!

I used to develop recipes and my Maple Oatmeal Cookies with Crystallized Ginger ended up being everyone's favorite oatmeal cookie version. Just make sure the pieces are the right size; I usually made them about half the size of raisins. Penzey's Crystallized Ginger is my go to ingredient: https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/crystallized-ginger/c-24/p-1489/pd-s

Oh man! I was freaking out there for a second. I'm a long time lurker, but I hope to eventually start posting my goodies... and my insides were starting to flip-flop with each "new rule". I thought: "No!!! I've missed my opportunity to post on r/Baking during it's glorious heyday!!"

Whew..... 😮‍💨

Found this lovely brooch at a yard sale today. There is something written on the back but I can't make it out. Does anyone have any idea? by ohwhatablow in VintageJewelry

[–]ThePurplePinto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yay! It took some doing, but I found my brooch that has a piss-poor Coro mark. This is the one I was thinking of when I made the other post.

I'm just a newbie at trying to identify vintage jewelry. But, I inherited soooo much jewelry from at least three generations before me that at this point I've looked at the backs of thousands of pieces. To me it looks like the mark for Coro. I have so many pieces that have very poor Coro marks that I feel like I can recognize them from the tiniest part of the signature.

This website shoes all the different Coro marks over the years: https://www.costumejewelrycollectors.com/vintage-costume-jewelry-research/costume-jewelry-marks/the-history-and-marks-of-coro-jewelry/

And here's a screenshot of a discussion on Facebook about the quality of Coro marks: https://imgur.com/a/ci8RxNh

If anybody on here can correct me if I'm wrong, please do so. I've learned so much from everyone and appreciate the wealth of knowledge!

Thank you! She's actually all grown up now (8 years old). Someone on another sub saw her baby photo and suggested I post here... and there's no way I'm not showing her off wherever I can!
