I love the detail of the stained edges too..
Besides, I love looking at the worn-down path down the middle of the hall.It always makes me wonder about what kinds of footsteps passed through here everyday for the last 112 years or so.. Hmm….. Well, anyway, it just keeps getting better everyday!.
So that’s what I’ll be up to today.Inhaling toxic chemicals and making things shine!If you see any weird.
postings from me today, you’ll know why.Do you have any of those shiny yellow-brass circa 1993 doorknobs around your house?We have a whole assortment of different eras represented on different doors around here, but the one in my front hall was the lame-o shiny kind..
But I fixed it up good.
Originally I had thought about maybe just spraying it with a little Oil Rubbed Bronze, but then I remembered that warm metals are awesome..When the editor at the publisher first emailed me, of course I was excited and felt pretty honored that she/they had read my blog and felt that my writing style and what I wrote about would be fitting for an actual real, live book.
We scheduled a time to chat on the phone about the book idea a little bit more, and my impression was honestly that she would be kind of trying to sell me on the idea of writing a book for them and letting me know what that would entail and it would just be up to me to either say “yes” or “no”.. Ha!.The first call was almost like an interview for me, which in retrospect makes sense, because they want to be sure I’m an actual person, with an actual passion for what I’m going to write about.
They wanted to know a little bit about my story and my background, and if I had any other interests besides the main subject for the book, and of course what made me so interested in writing a book on this subject, which was homekeeping/cleaning tips.I was really surprised though, as I thought that I would mostly be listening rather than talking on this call, so I kind of had to gather my thoughts quickly on the spot and then “sell” myself a little bit.
