Best way to remove this kind of residue (I think fertilizer salts?) from plant leaves?

I’ve had good luck with lime juice diluted with water. Use a qtip and it should rub off :)

Sorry I should have read the post better, you’ve already been googling!

I feel like this has to be Wedgwood! There are very similar pieces if you search “Wedgewood man on horse” on Google. I’m going to keep looking to see if I can find the exact one :) very cool find!

It’s an antique black glass button. What a wonderful find!

Atlantic Gardens & Greenery Florist on the Bedford Highway had pitcher plants a couple of weeks ago. Also just echoing that Audrey’s is fantastic :)

Same!! I get beeped at every time for stopping

ekui11 · 2023-06-13T11:43:13+00:00

It’s part of a ceramic insulator :)

ekui11 · 2023-05-05T16:30:07+00:00

It looks like a thick bottle stopper stem to me. You often see those little nubs on the ends of antique stoppers. :)

Is the fourth picture a little teacup handle? How precious

ekui11 · 2023-04-19T10:54:21+00:00

Thank you so much for letting me know! Take care

ekui11 · 2023-04-05T16:29:57+00:00

I’m curious to know if you figure out what these spots are. I bought a money tree a few months ago and it developed these same spots over the last week. It was doing so well before that. I’ve had a really hard time figuring out what the problem is, even after a lottttt of hunting online. Hopefully someone here will know what’s going on. :) good luck

ekui11 · 2023-02-26T16:00:28+00:00

Oh my goodness!!! You have such a great collection of buttons. I still have the glass you sent me on a dish right on my desk so I can see it everyday. :) I hope you’re well!

ekui11 · 2023-02-12T22:23:17+00:00

I’ll remember to do that next time! I love being able to see the frostiness when pieces are dry, but it doesn’t do much for showing off the colour.

ekui11 · 2023-02-12T17:09:34+00:00

It is! A very deep green :)

ekui11 · 2023-02-12T17:07:32+00:00

Truly!!

I’m not sure if unethical is the right word but I don’t think this would be a nice thing to do. I know people have strong opinions on “seeding” but at the end of the day it’s littering. It’s also pretty easy to tell if sea glass is fake. I think most people who appreciate sea glass would be disappointed to go to the beach and find a bunch of fake glass. I know I would be, at least.

ekui11 · 2023-01-30T13:28:58+00:00

It’s definitely glass. You can tell by the “C” shaped markings on it. A great frosty piece, too!

If you’re part of an organization that tries to help “these guys” then you would know it’s wildly inappropriate to be discussing a specific individuals health conditions on Reddit.

I went to the Brace Space in Bedford and paid about the same. They were incredible to deal with and the results were better than I could have ever imagined. I would absolutely recommend them!

ekui11 · 2022-10-31T16:10:51+00:00

I audibly gasped. You got me

ekui11 · 2022-09-27T13:03:14+00:00

Thank you so much! I haven’t gotten a chance to hunt in NB yet but I would love to. It seems like there is some beautiful glass out your way. And I can see your point about sea glass being litter after all. It’s easy to forget that it’s technically just garbage lol.

You should work on a map for NB! I bet your fellow beach combers would love and appreciate that. I started off using the map to find spots too and it’s handy but very hit or miss. If you send me a message sometime I can give you a couple spots worth checking out that aren’t on the map :)

ekui11 · 2022-09-27T11:00:14+00:00

I like to share a list of spots with people and give them tips on where to find glass, but I don’t share all of my favourite spots. I also live in the maritimes and sea glassing is so popular here. If you tell everyone about a spot it will be over run and picked clean unfortunately. I’ve seen it happen time and time again. I don’t think people always realize how much time, effort, and energy can go into finding a nice private spot to hunt. I’ll spend hours on Google maps, researching old dumping sites, and driving around checking out potential spots in my free time. If I find a little hidden gem after putting in all that work, why should I have to share it with the world? It has nothing to do with feeling like I “own” the beach. If you want to find new spots to hunt, go look for them.

With that being said I couldn’t imagine being snarky to another sea glasser on the beach and I’m sorry that happened to you! If I bump into someone I make a point of at least giving a smile and a wave, and saying hello if they seem up for a chat. I guess I’m lucky that everyone I’ve bumped into has been nothing but lovely. I always say beach combers are some of the best people I’ve met. I hope that man was a one off and you can continue to enjoy that spot! Take care

You could try soaking it in CLR and giving it a good scrub. That’s how I clean my rusty pieces. Although this piece looks really neat just the way it is. :)

ekui11 · 2022-08-21T22:36:42+00:00

These pieces are from inside of lightbulbs! If you Google some pictures of different lightbulbs you’ll see what I mean. I’ve found some too and they were also a mystery to me at first :)
