It could be Ricci’s Queen pattern. Unfortunately, the Italian seller doesn’t show the marks. The asking price even for silverplate is pretty...
Thank you! Very useful to know! I assume the distinction matters mostly in vintage and antique, art etc. The store that sells these pillowcases...
Okay, a non-crafter’s question: Bluumz’s comments made me go look at machines that can make a chain stitch. So, if “handmade" means only...
No, but crafts were a compulsory subject at school, and the only one ever where I got less than an A. Except later when I tried to learn to type...
Well, that’s what it reminded me of — my own handiwork… :) I’m also guessing that the hidden insides of the pillow cases might not be of great...
Hi AJ, I wouldn’t know. It just seems to me that the randomness of the lines and uneven length and tightness and thickness of stitches might be...

I’m a writer and a compulsive editor. I’m really particular about the words I use. So if mine cause confusion, I edit for clarity. That’s the...
It’s not about the tip. That was my —ahem—point. :-) Besides, someone might want to make butter rolls…
I’m guessing they employ starving artists or young students of art history as museum guards here ( there is one in every room).They are often...
The guards wear a shirt that says Ask Me so I did. She started telling me abou the symbolism of various flowers… Back to the subject matter of...
I’ll go off on another tangent for just one post: went to a local museum that has an extensive Rene Lalique collection and there were several...
I tried that as a search term but it doesn’t work. Pulls up wooden utensils.
Yes, that’s exactly it. Like I said in post 43 above :-)
Hi AJ, I’m not sure what the s-bend is, but if it’s like in plumbing, no. What I mean is that the knife is not sitting flatly on the table. At...
Thanks for the tip, got it. As for fish and butter knife tips, I’ve reached my tipping point. Peace and out.
