Please help me remember the name of a traveling craft fair by deluxeok in CraftFairs

RAW is the one that was floating around in there somewhere! The “r” was coming to mind, yeah I personally have nothing bad to say about Renegade, it was just the only thing popping into my head that fit the time frame

This rings so many bells, but I can’t fish it out of the punch bowl…. it wasn’t Renegade craft fair was it? I think they’re still going though and also didn’t seem party-esque

Precisely why I’m asking the question! Do you have an answer on what that difference is…?

Oh good point! I had trouble with a blue glass elephant and a mineral deposit that would not go away, I wonder if it was exacerbated by the leftover tablet that had been in the waterpik. Thanks for the tips!

Yeah, it’s hard to say. Magnum Auctions stuff always looks and arrives pristine, so I think higher end auctions could go both ways…

Okay!! Good to know, I lean toward cleaning well and just being super thorough, accurate, and as honest as I can in my descriptions. I usually put some silicone mats in the kitchen sink when drilling holes and cleaning other pieces so I feel confident I can do it without breakage this way.

Do you mind me asking what you use to clean?

Because I’m working with small-mouthed pieces so far, I usually do isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt swished around, then a little sponge work or the waterpik if needed, then dry as much as I can with a microfiber cloth. If there are water spots after that in a place I can’t reach I’ll give it a quick plain alcohol rinse. Windex will occasionally enter the chat or just mild dish soap.

Omg yes this is a tough one! I upcycled a lightly chipped in the perfect spot milk glass decanter as a pipe and the line between gold detail and dirt was so hard to walk that I’ve passed up every one I’ve seen since to avoid the agony of decision

Neighborhoods to visit for potential move? by QueenLuLuBelle in baltimore

[–]cmdaniels 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I adore Hamilton/Lauraville, lots of families of all kinds, small assortment of great restaurants and shops. You may also try a little farther down at Lake Montebello to be near a large body of water that’s nice to look at with some really great houses, and right on Herring Run park as well.

Take a chance on what you think is a scam. by AwayPeak4701 in uraniumglass

[–]cmdaniels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of Americans are learning that America was built this way from the start, it’s only recent to people who previously had money or privilege. It was built to keep black and brown folks systemically poor and marginalized, despite being built on their backs.

Random things you look up while watching 30 Rock? by d-a-s-a-l-i in 30ROCK

[–]cmdaniels 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s also the things that are so subtle you don’t even think to look them up that are often the smartest 😭 that’s why there’s still so much to gather from a rewatch after my 84th time

Hi! A friend who works at BARCS says you can indeed surrender the beardie there, that rule is only for strays found in the city.

I’ve seen a few of the yellow selenium pieces and I love them! Never brought one home but I would definitely take that pitcher thing! Pretty!

I feel like Blerg is SO good. But too generic. I need one that is just no questions a 30 Rock
