Eek! Nearly missed it!

It literally takes me 2 min more to add alt text to my posts.

2-5min of your time is nothing compared to being inclusive!

My school life bridged three different systems 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦, so my knowledge is extremely patchy.

I think it’s my third run at it. I’m a little averse to historical fiction, or, more precisely, to fiction about historical events. I’m always wary of learning false facts from the novelisation. I did really like it though, once I got into it. There was more humour than I expected too.

Current reads: also Braiding Sweetgrass, Wolf Hall, and Remarkably Bright Creatures.

I’m similar. Always have fiction and non-fiction going on, but often a couple of fiction at the same time. I don’t think they correlate to yours, but there is probably something similar, maybe classic/literary, contemporary/light, and non-fiction, with all the fluidity of genre that books involve.

So much of pricing old things is what is in currently in fashion. Yes, workmanship and rarity, but taste trends have a lot to do with it.

Oh! The cerulean is gorgeous. My in-laws stuff is a real mix. She was as happy with a cute figure from a thrift shop, as a rare piece of carnival glass she hunted for several years. The believed in paying for quality within your budget, and also that a thing's value is not defined only by its price.

I want to respect their treasures, and find things good homes, but I also don’t want to be selling their multiple collections bit by bit for the next 30 years! It’s on an island too, so I will have to stick with online mostly.

It’s going to be such a balancing act. They were serious carnival glass collectors but I don’t think it’s as in right now as it used to be. For a bunch of reasons, I’ll have to be careful of how much time and energy I give it.

My job in the coming year will be to identify and try and sell what the family doesn’t want to keep. So I’ll be learning what I can.

I think it’s just a decorative objet. I may have seen it listed somewhere as a fruit bowl, but I don’t know if that’s right. I know it’s by Walther & Sohne.

So cool!

I just recently learned about uranium glass as we cleared my mother-in-law’s house. Look at this beast.

Awesome, thank you
