Title: on to japanese
Post by: sugarcube5419 on January 01, 2014, 01:54:26 pm
such a pretty cup, very modern I know, but can you tell me the company/maker?

would make a nice Hyacinth bulb holder,just fill the cup with water, and stick a Hyacinth bulb on the top,..making sure the roots are touching the water, and let it grow...

It does Greenacres !! Wide base was so they would not tip over easy !! This shape was popular in the 80`s !!

that went a different direction, was just wondering about the japanese writing on the bottom, plus this looks newer not even the 80's unless it was not used

Can`t tell you how many like that I had that were never used !!  May still have them in storage !! My reason for not using them was the bottom was so big and bulky when I picked them up it bumped my wrist !!

Just think of how much fun the children will have, sledging..building Snowmen...Snowball fights...coming home with their handies.. freezing...clothes sodden.......then there,s you,...that short run to work..might take a little bit longer...y,know slip sliding along......just watch how you go....your safety comes before anything.... :)

We were told to stay off the roads tomorrow. Now, I don't what that  means to my husband! ;D He keeps watching the weather. He wants to still try to get to work. It makes me nervous. I'm listening and taking my calls at home. :) Good day to stay in. Sorry sapphire, I wish I could have sent you something better. We are lucky we don't live in Michigan.  -47 degrees there.

For all you up in the colder areas,,remember to keep your emergency kit in your car !!  A roll of toilet paper,,a tin (only) coffee can, a 12X12 piece of tin foil and a couple of bottles of alcohol !!~  If you get stranded somewhere it will keep you from freezing to death !!

Nothing to brag about...but this morning it was -25 below zero here. And now they are predicting a "cold front" to move in from Canada!

(I think I'll need Mart's "emergency kit" to use in the house to stay warm. :P)

In the event of a power outage,,a couple of them might heat a small bathroom !! We used to use them as hand warmers when deer hunting !!

Sort of a bun warmer in the bathroom.  In the suburbs today one of the plowmen was killed by a big pile of salt that fell on him.
