Hi fellow seniors, have you broken anything valuable?
I dropped my Mother’s lovely old sandwich/cake platter whilst rummaging through my old crockery prior to taking some stock to a car boot sale tomorrow.
This item wasn’t going to the sale I just had to move it out of the way.
I was really cross with myself as that plate wasn’t particularly monetarily valuable but precious to me and my family and was always used during high days and holidays.
So has this sad scenario ever happened to you?
Yes, Lily, I have. I broke my grandmothers’ jelly dish just a few years after she had passed. At this time, my mom was still living and I had to tell her that the jelly dish she had entrusted to me, had been broken. It was fixable, but not the same. I still have it to this very day.
I was terrified when this happened as my mom talked about this bowl and her own memories. I was not sure how she would take the news. She took it well, but I always see that crack with one small section missing and wished I had been a bit more careful.
Sorry about your Mom’s platter.

Whip Up a Home Sale in Your Kitchen!
It’s official: you’re selling your house, and the time is now. Let me tell you a secret: staging a home for sale starts in the kitchen, the heart of the home. It doesn’t matter that you’re more likely to have the pizza delivery service on your speed dial and the last time you cooked an honest-to-goodness homecooked meal was….it’s okay, you don’t have to give a time or a date! It’s really okay!
Yet you want your kitchen to welcome any potential gourmet or gourmand who’s a strong potential buyer. Let’s face it: even if we’ve never zested a lemon or pressed a clove of garlic, we all like to think that given the opportunity, we could whip up a meal that would make Julia Child proud. The fantasy is that the right kitchen could propel any one of us to culinary genius. You can stage your home to create and literally sell such a fantasy.
Here are a few easy steps a motivated seller like you can take to stage your house to sell by transforming your kitchen into a deal closer:
- Think fresh…paint that is. It’s cheap, and it can totally change the mood of a room. A kitchen that’s light, bright and airy invites folks to come in and sit a spell. The wheels in the mind of your potential buyer are starting to turn and plan. She’s starting to envision her table in your highly marketable space.
- De-clutter. We all have refrigerator doors full of kids’ art, school pictures, and reminders for the next dental appointment. The truth is we’ve seen that door so often that we don’t see it as junky any more. To a buyer, the sight is jarring and reminds him he’s in someone else’s house. You want each person to be able to envision himself in this house and begin to see it as all theirs!
- Clear the Counters. Think long and gleaming. Get as many appliances and crockery off your counter tops as possible. Spic and span surfaces shine! A vase of fresh flowers is a nice touch.
- Smells like home. A Mrs. Smith apple pie in the oven makes your whole house smell like your grandmother’s on a harvest day. I won’t tell them it’s from your grocer’s freezer if you don’t.
- Pantry Shelves, spice racks and spaces, oh my! We like to think the right kitchen would organize itself, and one with well-thought out storage spaces can certainly give that impression. Look in the most recent editions of home magazines for organizational ideas. Avoid Discount Club shopping and keep your pantry, cabinet and other storage places minimally stocked. Spaces will look larger. And you’ll be moving soon anyway!
Like cooking, staging your home to sell is part science and part artistry. A clean, creatively presented kitchen can cut through the clutter of “buyer overload” and stage your house to sell quickly. A few easy steps can lead a motivated seller like you to the sale you’ve been waiting for.

I need some innovative ideas for a room set up.?
Let me explain. I am working as a Catering Sales assistant in a hotel. We have a wonderful banquet hall. What we plan to do is to set up a what is called as a small banquet showroom, which will showcase the banquet products – Table cloths, crockery, cutlery etc. We plan to have a TV showcasing the hotel. However, this is what all hotels do.
We too need to be along the same lines, However, I need some innovative ideas – some suggestions were that we have wall to wall photographs of some of our set up. Some suggested we have a book as large along the full wall the wall and showcase the set up styles and have mood lighting etc,
Any creative suggestions please welcome. If my idea is accepted, I will earn lots of credits. Please suggest.
Well Is that what you want? http://ideas-gift.info/313902/table-cloths

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
