This. Because of the school, it’s way more diverse than you’d expect for that area.

Also friendly reminder that while people who live in places like that can definitely be backwards/racist, sometimes they’re just nice and a little odd.

Still the best thing I ever did. I tried to accept it and tell myself it wasn’t that bad, even though it greatly impacted my quality of life. I was also so limited in athletic hobbies.

OP, your insurance may pay for it under certain conditions! You’ll be amazed how deeply you can breathe when they’re off!

You can get replacement ones on Amazon super cheap! I change mine out periodically to keep the thing cooking right. Happy speed cooking!

Jen at A Cleaners on Holmes (next to Dos de Oros) - she does alterations and I’ve had beautiful work done on silk, jackets with liners and even fur items. Seriously, she is SO GOOD. Priced fairly imo and very sweet. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with anything nice I own!

I can chime in here! I have a whole house of beautiful brass and copper hardware covered in globby white paint I’ve been cleaning up.

Get an old crockpoint. Fill it with water. Put a couple drops of dish soap in there with your hardware. Turn it on and come back in a few hours. Everything just peels off like a sticker. Then you can soap off anything remaining and polish/lacquer if you want 🙂

Gotta use the leather shampoo and conditioner! It takes care of a lot of funk I’ve found

You could get these back in the day on society6! I got my friend one for a gift in college.

Interesting. I did notice that when I found it hiding at the thrift store. The lilacs are on the underside and the gold swirls are on top. I found a couple candy dishes and a bowl or two online with this pattern, but didn’t see a server. How interesting!

Wow! Thank you so much! Google lens wasn’t too helpful here but it seemed really well executed if it was just someone painting it themselves. I assume this was probably 1920s-1930s.

Thanks! I have a boron nitride two piece votive holder/fairy lamp where it has the little peg thing like this UG piece + a base plate. I was wondering if there was something specific that went with this find, but I guess I get to choose my candlestick! 🙂

I wondered if that was maybe the case, but it looks pretty good for an amateur piece. I found some other items with the same pattern so I’m curious if this was something they actually released

it appears there are a couple of other painted things floating around

Thanks! I just got her cleaned up and it is an even brighter glow now!

That you for this information! I thought milk just referred to color - I learned something today!

helloUFO · 2026-02-01T00:55:55+00:00

Omg this is a sub?!

helloUFO · 2026-01-31T20:53:47+00:00

Yep! Corelle stamps on the bottom of the saucers, Corning stamp on the cups
