I wanted one of these! Great vintage turquoise and it all comes apart for cleaning and so you can admire the blown-glass insulated vacuum insides. Thank you, thrift store.
I like your carafe! I notice that you have pomegranates in the picture. Would you mind sharing what you do with them? Do you juice them or eat them raw?
Hi. I have a sweater/laundry question after your last post. Thank you for sharing your creativity with clothing. It's very inspiring. My question is about drying sweaters. I use a clothesline exclusively and when putting sweaters on the line, they get stretched out. I've tried laying them out and shaping them, but then they look all wrinkled and need ironing. I don't mind ironing, but they just do not look the same as before. I have several sweaters and only one or two are acrylic. Some are wool, but mostly I have cotton. Do you have any suggestions for me? I have considered "borrowing" a firend's dryer for drying the sweaters, but that seems silly. Thanks for your time and assistance. Denise
Denise, I sometimes dry my cotton sweaters if I don't mind a little shrinkage. Otherwise, and always for wool, I lay flat to dry and then press lightly or steam with the iron if they need it afterwards. Not looking the same is just the price you pay for not dry-cleaning, in my experience. I don't mind paying it for the cleanliness and thriftiness of skipping the dry cleaner!
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

i love turquoise- i just painted my bathroom that very color :)
Is that a thermos? If it were, it's the loveliest thermos I've ever seen! If it's not, it's one of the loveliest jugs I've ever seen.
I love it!
You have the best thrift stores in your area! What a terrific find.
I adore Turquoise:) Very nice.

Beautiful! ...And I see yummy pomegranties in the background. Pomegranite season is my favorite season of all. :)
