Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I have a lot of white Corelle plates, because I got the extras from Mother.
However, you can't nuke 'em. I want plates I can nuke.
I'm drinking my morning coffee out of a Diamond Jubilee mug. I've only been convinced to rid the world of some of the chipped mugs recently.
My formal china's white with platinum rims and a lace pattern. Been discontinued, so I should stockpile.
The more I hear about Tim, the more he sounds like me. I would totally be trying to print my own. I have trays and trays of lead type, if he needs some. (Note to self: You must get rid of the trays and trays of lead type, even if you have to become the lead type lady on Etsy. Because one human being cannot lift a tray of lead type, they're in the stack I wrestled them into before I got sick, and I keep running into them.)
He's befuddled as to why I don't want to do this, because I love typography. And I said that I'd love to goof around with the printing press, but feeling like I need to make my invitations on it creates a pressure for them to look right, and be done by a deadline, etc. etc. Plus, any project with him automatically takes 2-3 times as long to do as you'd think it would, which I'm used to by now, but I don't think I can handle that when it comes to this.
Steph, you said on FB that you didn't have colors. Yes, you do. Sapphire and silver. Get a bunch of blue and silver ribbon and you're done.
I don't know what to do with the ribbon. I am straight up the worst person to plan a wedding EVER.
Hand them to someone who is creativey and tell them to tie them on a bunch of shit.
Tie the ribbon on the groom. Instant decoration.

He does have long hair. I could accessorize the hell out of it.

If we're talking about the same Corelle, you certainly can nuke them! They're tempered glass, not plastic.

One of our clients is a ribbon wholesaler, and I have pages and pages of articles on how to use ribbon for your wedding, or your shower, or home decor, or as a fashion accessory.
I would totally be trying to print my own.
I did print my own...silk screened...and it as an unmitigated travesty.
The grad student I hired to help misspelled my husband's last name. Seriously, one of the top 10 most common names in America...and several other countries, I'm sure.
Tim would have to work extra-super-it's-not-even-possible hard to do a worse job.
Sapphire and Silver is a gorgeous color scheme.
Sapphire and Silver is a gorgeous color scheme.
It's not so much a scheme, though, because we're not incorporating it into other stuff. It's just my dress and shoes.
*I* am the color scheme. t majestic music plays in the background
I was all about to be "You can't nuke Corelle?" Because I really want plain white Corelle dishes to supplement our current black and white stoneware, which I really love, but is a) heavy, and b) not great with the tile floors. And I need about another eight place settings for when we have to feed groups.
We have lots of printed mugs. People give us mugs. But then I like coffee, so hey.
And then the SO started collecting booze glasses on tour this last time. So we pitched the Walmart plastic glasses, but always look like lushes when we serve pop because it's all in booze branded glasses.
