Tanja Berlin's e-newsletter has a new product listed I've not seen before--a brass stiletto that can be used as a laying tool or awl. It's a pretty thing (although in CH brass tarnishes badly if not lacquered) and can also be used as a laying tool. If you are interested, hurry. Tanja will be away most of the month of June starting on the 5th.

I have this! It was a gift from my son in Denver so I guess it came from Diversions. It is a lethal weapon and I don't use it very much. It is in my travel bag as it has the cover, but not for planes! (See above.) So far, no tarnishing, but it has lived most of its life in Nevada.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, Judy. I bet it is non-tarnish brass. I'm glad you chimed in!
DeleteYour flowers are gorgeous! Your hard winter did not seem to hurt them.
ReplyDeleteThe extreme cold has damaged the roses, killing the climbing rose down to the ground. It will be interesting to see how the day lilies do.
