[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 192177, member: 51"]Argh.... mini rant! I've been lovingly using this vintage Marvella case for years to display jewelry in my photographs. It makes everything look so nice. Last week had a necklace I was photographing and brought necklace and case outside to get better light. A few days earlier had snowed, but I was nowhere near the snow. Was standing next to the house in a dry spot. Or so I thought! Drip, drip, drip.... Where is that water coming from? It was an odd snow, kind of melted and froze over the gutters and here a few drops of melting ice came down right onto my hand, and then the SILK of the case. Raced inside, blotted the fabric dry like crazy, but the water has left stains. Any fix for something like this? Can probably still use the case if I cover said area with item I'm photographing, but a bit bummed, wondered if there is any clever remedy. Thanks. Photos #1 shows before and #2, 3 after. Last photo (w/Napier latch) included to show a close-up of the fabric. [ATTACH=full]54309[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54310[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54311[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54312[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
