Found a good place for my knitting books
|
As I mentioned earlier, I have a lot of knitting books that I will probably never use. I have been debating as to what?to do with them. I called the LYS to see if they wanted to add them to their knitting library and the LYSO said 'no'. Her customers are not knitting from books and she has a number from her own library. She said she'd take stitch dictionaries and reference books, but those are not the ones I'm ready to give up.? The local libraries will sell them so that was not a bad idea, but I'd rather they be used more widely. I asked the spinning guild President if they had a listing of the books in the guild library so that I could donate them there with no duplication?of titles. But they don't. However, he said that they don't have very many knitting books so it would be a good addition to the library. So that's where they are going. I will be culling the library over the next few months and then I'll take a box over to his house and he'll take them to where the guild books are. That location is not accessible to a wide variety of people right now due to COVID-19.? Anyone know good places to sell china? A friend just cleared out their mother's house and she has some lovely bone china that they want to dispose of. Jaya |
开云体育The Guild is a great find, thanks for that info. As to the really nice china, that's a bigger problem.? It's not something younger people tend to use (according to my daughter in law, and her friend group of cousins, all of whom are very much on-trend.) I'm in the same sorry position with some very lovely china.

开云体育I have purchased replacement pieces of china from www.replacements.com, so I assume that they would buy their stock from individuals and estates.Patricia in Austin On Sep 25, 2021, at 8:01 AM, Jaya Srikrishnan <ermabom@...> wrote:

I guess the main question is, do you need/want compensation for your china, or do you want to see it repurposed? We were young college students when we married. Registries were for people in other circumstances with families and family friends with substantial means, not people like us, not like today's registry which may include gifts at all price points. We selected and purchased our Good Dishes ourselves, years after our wedding. They are stored. Our kids don't want them. Heirloom quality, not old enough to be antiques. Same with our crystal. What on earth were we thinking? Ann in PA On September 25, 2021, at 9:43 AM, "Texknitter via groups.io" <texknitter@...> wrote:

I think my friend wants to get some money for her mother's China. But she'd let it go fi free to a good home I'll bet. I use my China so not ready to get rid of it yet. I use it when we have, if we ever do again. ?and I don't baby it. It goes in the dishwasher. If it dies, it dies. On Sat, Sep 25, 2021 at 10:34 AM Ann McManus <mcmanusab@...> wrote:
