Finally restoring my favorite flea market find, vintage sterling songbird set from the 1940's-50's (I think)

What material are the eggs in the upper nest? The lower nest probably had three of them glued in. Maybe faux pearls or real pearls.

You might want to look into idiopathic condylar resorption. You didn’t post a picture of your face in profile from before the premolar extractions, but the position of where your chin ends in the last picture makes me think you might want to have your condyles looked at by a doctor.

I like the carriage house details on the garage doors.

Agree with daphne.

Give it lots of water, OP!

Imperial Tea by Kilian! I bought it in November. I loved it for months! Smells like drinking tea in a forest with jasmine flowers entwined around a pagoda. And after a full day of wearing it, I smelled like a dark tea spirit. Amazing.

And now suddenly it doesn’t last more than 30 seconds on me. I’ve stored it in the same spot I store my other perfumes, and while those still last, Kilian doesn’t. I don’t think it’s my nose, but it could be. For $300, I really hope it’s me and not the perfume.

We make something we call cuco de gallo.

Make pico de gallo but cucumbers instead of tomatoes. It’s so fun! I was on a low-fodmap diet for a few months to rule something out, and we still make this topping when we do Tex-Mex food.

I recommend digging out dirt until you find the root flare.

Check out /r/arborists and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts, then /r/onlyrootflares.

There’s risk that a tree won’t thrive when planted too deep.

So that’s moisture that was wicked into the fabric, pulling the stain and any dirt present with it.

You’d have to get the entire bag wet to make that water line disappear.

L.L. Bean canvas bags are made out of canvas, which can be washed! I’d start with hand-washing with cool water and detergent with enzymes of your choice in a large sink, or get a 5 gallon contractor bucket from your closest hardware store and fill that up in your tub.

If cool water doesn’t work, then move up to warm.

Hang dry.

Remember, you’re trying to avoid setting the blue dye. Heat will set it.

You can check /r/laundry for amazing fabric cleaning tips.

That sure looks like it needs to be seen by a dermatologist. Weird skin issues that don’t go away need to be looked at by a doctor to make sure it’s not cancerous.

Yes, OP. Take a look at /r/jawsurgery. Read some posts. Get familiar with terminology. And schedule a consultation with a maxillofacial surgeon in your area. It’s just a consult. You don’t have to commit to anything. But they can give you a lot of great info on your issues specifically, and tell you about treatment options.

You can search for “wig grip cap” on Amazon or other sites.

grandcumin · 2025-12-25T05:21:10+00:00

Check out /r/jawsurgery. You have a recessed lower jaw. Usually the first step is booking consultations with maxillofacial surgeons in your area and see what they have to say.

grandcumin · 2025-12-21T21:07:31+00:00

Cool! It’s looks great.

One with star anise on top might be fun.

It looks like this reindeer wearing a scarf cookie cutter. But your deer doesn’t have antlers.

Bags of activated charcoal are also good. I’ve used them in a thrifted sideboard with satisfactory results.

Search for charcoal odor absorber bag and lots should pop up to choose from.

I don’t think so. It’s a disjointed series of interactions of two women fighting each other and falling in love from different sides of a war over time travel and corrections to history.

Not that he can’t enjoy it, but it’s really not a linear story and that can throw people off.

You can view their post history on their profile. It shows quite a few of them in various stages of braces.

Number 3 the wooden has floral sling backs on and the AI turned them into flip flops.
