Bits n bobs of old silver, like salt cellars and teeny tiny funnels? check.
Oooh. I may want to talk to you about the teeny-tiny funnels. Those are good for filling teeny-tiny perfume bottles.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
EIGHT YEARS.
Fucking hell, we're old.
Remember how I told you V-Day was a bad idea? Yeah, shows how much I know about shit. Although I'm going to crinkle my nose at the day, I will raise a virtual glass to you two cuties.

That's what they are for.
My great-aunt worked for Estee Lauder...the actual woman. And was an international cosmetics model for Alexandra de Markoff.
I've also got a set of commemorative brandy snifters for an Houbigant event.
And a Cappe de Monde handkerchief box featuring a Satyr and her children.
So MUCH stuff I have had a hard time letting go of...not because I want to use it, but because I don't really know how to sell it intelligently.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I know! We're buying iphones and doing dinner on the 18th. EIGHT YEARS.
Good lord. I can't believe I met you when you were still in law school.

So nifty! I may send you questioning email about this, later. But for now, I need to go take a bath.

I can believe you all left Michigan.
Still can't believe Aimee and Joe went back there.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I don't think so, since those are usually purple outside.
This made me curious, because all the ones I've had have been white, so I Googled.
Most are white [link] but one kind, the Okinawan purple potato/Okinawan yam is purple. [link]
Cool. I shall have to look for those.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Random picture of me as Devil Girl: [link]
The evening was noteworthy for many reasons, but chief among them was (1) it was the longest continous length of time I've worn a corset (because at kink events, well, it comes off when the fun stuff starts); and (2) some drunk and ebullient women in the bathroom petted my corset (including my boobs) and then one asked if she could motorboat me.
I declined the motorboat request.
It really was fucking hilarious, I swear. I probably could have brought home 2 or 3 new girlfriends if I just said the word.

I get a "this is private" message when I try to see that.
Sad now.
