Why is my Bay leaf plant turning yellow?

Sat, 29 Jan 2011 07:33:05 +0000

All the leaves on my 8 year old bay leaf plant (2 foot high) are turning yellow. I potted on with some quality compost and thought that I had solved the problem but it is now worse. It is in a large earthenware pot and is watered regularly.

What are good items to put out for a garage/tag sale and what shouldn't I bother lugging out?

Wed, 26 Jan 2011 00:25:37 +0000

I have my mother’s estate to liquidate. With tough economic times, no antique dealers, auctioneers or estate liquidators are interested as they all seem to be looking for only the finest quality, high-end collectibles and antiques. I probably have some items that are worth more than the average tag sale would have (like Depression glass, pressed glass, decorative pottery like McCoy & Hull) but these things are not valuable enough to interest the dealers. Even the local Salvation Army won’t take anything because they are overloaded with inventory themselves right now and there’s no Goodwill nearby. A few months ago I even tried hiring an Ebay assistant to try and sell some of the stuff. She didn’t get one offer! So it looks like I’m stuck with trying to sell it on my own. Since I am an only child.I have no one to help take it off my hands or even help setting up a sale. I wanted some guidance in regard to what might be of interest to people that might stop at an estate sale so I don’t waste time and effort lugging out stuff that nobody will buy. My mom collected in the 1970′s when things like Depression glass and period furniture were popular and expensive, now it seems you can’t even give it away. I am reluctant to let it go at what I know is a fraction of it’s value. I already gave away all mom’s clothes and tons of books, but I have 10 rooms, an attic and cellar of all the glass, pottery, artwork, Victorian style furniture and general household items she accumulated over the years. What are people buying in the way of collectibles right now?

How do you tell porcelain from ceramic or bisque?

Fri, 21 Jan 2011 07:33:04 +0000

A collection of doll parts have recently come into my possession and I would like to sell them. Unfortunately I am not sure what material they are actually made out of. How can I tell if they are porcelain or ceramic parts? I have also come across information about bisque which is apparently an unglazed porcelain. I just want to know what these are made of so that I can accurately describe them.

The parts are very thin, fragile, pale white and unglazed.
