Things in my basement are NOT GOOD right now. A leaky pipe, a rotted subfloor and mold mean that my food storage/laundry room contents had to be completely removed and shoved into the rest of the (already full) basement. Not sure how long it will take to fix, or how much it's going to cost. Suffice it to say, things are not happy. I have no idea when I'll be able to do laundry again so I'll be toting my dirties over to friends' homes for the next few weeks. Dee-lightful!
One of the reasons my basement is already full is because that's where I store of all of my inventory for my
Etsy shop. So in an effort to clean things out and make the basement a little less crowded, I've been on an Etsy listing spree. This week I've chosen to list a bunch of white things in a section called
"Winter Whites". I may add more listings as I find more items in my stash to fit the theme, but this is what I have so far:
A trio of white milk glass handled sugar bowls. I have two of the bottom version. I love how they look like trophies!

A beautiful carved Mother of Pearl necklace with a rosary-style chain. This would be so pretty on a bride! Love the glow from Mother of Pearl.

I've brought up my inventory boxes from the basement and I'm hopeful that I'll be more likely to get it listed if it's staring me in the face, so to speak, rather than buried down in the cold basement. Wish me luck!
Sorry to hear about your house situation. That has to be a super pain in the butt considering the amount you probably have to do. Oh, and I love that necklace!
ReplyDeleteOh, for the love of milk glass, those sugar bowls are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the basement situation -- hoping it's resolved quickly and inexpensively. :-)
We are not having a great new year either! I backed into my girlfriend's car (in my driveway!) sooooo things are not good here either. BUT, I do hope your situation is fixed asap!
ReplyDeleteLove your winter whites...my favorites are the buttons, the m.o.p necklace. My mother has a cigar tube just like yours and she always kept it full of dimes because they fit perfectly.
