Knights in White Satin

Tim is my knight, handling the white satin, and if you get that, then you’re at least as old as I am. Wow, did we get SASEs last week! He’s got the first batch out, so go ahead and post you and your glass tech phone on FB or Instagram so I can see that it’s all worth the effort to make these things. I don’t think we’ve ever had this kind of response before.  [send me a SASE]

But what has me smiling today is something we found under our front porch this morning. We’re doing some reconstruction to try to put the porch back to a photo we have of it at 1890 something, and the guys found a bunch of bottles in an old foundation where an old parlor window used to be. We’re not putting the parlor window back. It would mean taking off the porch entirely, and that’s just not going to happen. My favorite bottle is the one with the paper wrapper still on it, for Raven Liquid Stove Polish.

Tim and I have been calling our home Raven’s Ring since we took ownership, the house’s guardian being a statue of a raven with a ring in his beak. This new “gift from the house” makes me feel even more connected, and I cherish it. We keep giving to her, and she keeps giving to us.

I’m posting more photos at Instagram. You can find me there.
