This is a silly post. Just a filler, I suppose. I am as busy
as the rest of you and there’s no time for serious thought, actual research, or
clever re-writes. I didn’t want the entire week to go by without some kind of
post from me. Nevermind, that I haven’t posted to my other blog in over a month
(for shame). Busy time.
I like to keep this blog practical. My other blog is where I
do the majority of my musing. Like you, I’m struggling to find perfect presents for
everyone on my list, so I must share with you the REALLY FUN item I
stumbled upon while tasting chocolate olive oil (Yes chocolate! Amazing on ice
cream for the truly decadent soul I’d like to be) at one of my favorite local York shops. This may be old news to those of you who shop as a sport, but for
my once-a-year serious attempt at shopping, this was a new discovery.
Wine glass pen markers! These lovely pens came in a pack of
three (gold, silver, and green) for just $10. Quite the deal, I must say. They
write on glass, china, porcelain, etc. and wash off with simple soap and water.
I tried washing the glasses in the dishwasher, but it didn’t really work. You
actually have to run a washcloth over them but the marks come off as simply as
the package proclaimed.
The packaging suggested you could use these lovelies to mark
glasses and mugs at your next party or label the cheese plate so no one eats
goat cheese unsuspecting, but I found a better use – improving my children’s
vocabulary!
