I have four small copper molds, tin lined. They have brackets to hang for display. Individual Jello mold size, 3" or so across. If any one would like to have them for the postage to mail, let me know. If more than one, I'll put the names in a hat.

One is a ridged oval, a heart, a pineapple or acorn (can't tell for sure, looks like both) and round with fluted edges. Actually, all but the oval have fluted edges. They all need washed, have ktchen dirt on the tops from wherever they were hanging. No extra charge for Nevada dust!
Let me know if you're interested and I can send each of you two or do "eeny, meany, miney, mo" (sp?) to decide who gets them.
I keep reading how all the meth addicts are stealing copper wiring to fund their habit and costing construction sites millions plus lots of damage to street lights and such...and thinking these might be worth a buck for the coppper...but don't know if the tin lining or the copper is what makes them heavy for the size. And would rather give them to someone anyway :)

Oh Ronna! You find the best things! Are these from thrift stores or your house? Those would be lots of fun to do chill-overs in!

Alee...the thrift store, of course!! I'm not sure if I'd want to use them for other than decoration, which is why they are dusty on the tops. The tin lining isn't smooth and I'd be concerned unless they were cleaned well and it would be a job with all the "nooks and crannies".
They had gone from $3 to half price to 99 cents and I thought someone would love to have them.

I'm going to send two to Kathy and two to Sunshine, since they were the only ones interested. Saw some more the other day, but less than half the weight of these, so I'll assume they are really decent tin lined copper as I suspected.
Watch the Barter section for more goodies needing a new home.

& It was From Ronna!! The Copper Molds we had talked about!!
Ronna these are just adorable!! & no.. I don't have any of them!!
& not just that.. aside from the copper molds.. She found the teeniest little copper bottomed pot.. SO CUTE!! & another copper pan with an attached lid..
& That's not it!!
Ronna must have remembered that i love red.. She ALSO inclded a set of Red Pillowcases..
AND the BEST BEST!!! Red Gingham piece of Fabric!! I ABSOLULEY adore this fabric Ronna..
I don't know which of the twenty thing that I WANT to do with it.. that I will.. But.. I will definatly be SOMETHING treasured!! & for ME!!

Glad you like them Kathie. Sunshine, I've not forgotten yours, have a stack of boxes with stuff I still need to mail and yours is among them. I'm so far behind, I think I'm in first place :) Have spent nearly every day for over a week with my stepmom at hospital near her (100 miles) and in Reno (just 35 miles). She's not well at all and her husband dying two months ago added to the problems. Bowel obstruction and they finally moved her to Reno for surgery. When she's released and I know she's doing better, I can go back to work, both my job and at home. Thanks for the patience. I've not been to my post office box for over a week, so if anyone has sent me anything, I'll stop today and please know that thank you's will be posted. She's the only parent I have left, out of two mom's and three dads and stepdads, so is major priority right now. She says I'm her "rock" and when I'm not there, asks where "her Ronna" is, so I've tried to be with her as much as I can.

These came today so sweet I didn't have any that small will have to see if I can find a replacement needle for the needle punch tool. If not I can't make it work if I can should be fun to see if it is faster than doing needle punch by hand which is what I do now. I have a package allr eady for you will get it in the mail in the next week take care sunshine
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

sunshine,
I honestly didn't know exactly what that "blue thing" was, but figured you would. I think I might have another one too, but no telling just where. Sometimes I have bought a bag of stuff to get one or two things and then have others I don't know what to do with. If it's something I have no use for, it goes into a bag and donated right back to be someone else's treasure.
And I figured you could use the old packages of thread for repairing or ??
Glad you liked the molds. I keep seeing a bunch of really cheapo ones I wouldn't even want on my wall if I did collect them.
Other packages were mailed too, about ten total with a bunch more yet to tape up and send. |
