Book destash

Okay, I'm in the process of going through everything that I had to move
into my kitchen so the floor installers could do their job and give me
nice new wood floors (which I absolutely love but now need to get an
appropriate vacuum cleaner for them; sweeping this much area is taking
*way* too much of my knitting time g). I've got a few books that will
be leaving my house one way or the other, and I thought I'd offer them
to the group. Prices are list price; I'll take any reasonable offer as
I just need to clear them out.

Gossamer Webs: The History and Techniques of Orenburg Lace Shawls, by
Galina Khmeleva and Carol R. Noble. Softcover. $21.95

The Art of Shetland Lace, by Sarah Don. Softcover. No price on cover,
but inside cover is written $26; purchased from Beggars' Lace many years
ago.

The Filet Crochet Book, by Chris Rankin. Softcover. This one is
showing it's use, with cover coming off. I'll give this one away for
postage only.

MinnowKnits, by Jil Eaton. Hardcover. Sleeve is slightly stained from
where a kid put something on it. Great patterns for toddlers. $24.95

Country Crochet and Knitted Lace, by Jan Eaton. Hardcover. No price
on book.

Kaffe's Classics, by Kaffe Fassett. Hardcover. No price on book. I'd
keep this one if I liked doing color knitting, but as I despise color
knitting and there's no chance of me even contemplating anything in this
book in this lifetime, it's time for it to go.

And one counted cross-stitch book, The Romance of Paula Vaughan.
Hardcover. No price on book. Book contains 6 cross-stitch designs
plus other projects that go along with the theme of the designs.

Go ahead; make me an offer g Addy below.

You got it. I'm in no rush to get rid of them; I just want to get rid
of them. Right now they're in a stack by my desk here and are out of
the way. I'll set aside Gossamer Webs for you.

Hie thee to thy local janitor supply store and buy either an 18" or a
24" dry mop with removable cotton cover. I bought my 18" one well over
twenty years ago (I have always had hardwood floors, no matter where we
lived) and I recently retired one of the two original covers and bought
a new one. Why two covers? So you have one to use while the other is
drying after you washed it. You may also want to try "dust mop oil",
but I have never found it that wonderful.

I have a smallish dust mop that I bought years ago that was fine for the
small tile entryway, but we did close to 900 square feet in wood; the
house is 1638 square feet total, and the rooms we didn't do are the
bedrooms - carpet in there is still fine as it doesn't get much traffic,
and the stuff in the kids' rooms has been under a protective layer of
stuff for years g - and the kitchen, which will be done in tile when
we decide to do the kitchen. I had forgotten just how big my family and
living rooms are, as I had way more furniture and stuff in them before.
I do want to get a larger dust mop anyway, just need to get over to Home
Depot to get it.

I still want to get a new vacuum to keep the existing carpets in
decent-enough shape to keep for another few years, and if said vacuum
can do wood floors it's even better g

Do you want cash, ersatz cash, or are you open to swaps? Any way you
slice it I'd like to dibs this is no one else has.

I'm jealous of your new floors! Stained concrete is low-maintenance
but nothing beats hardwood for underfoot feel

I'm open to swaps, so whatever you feel it's worth, bring it on! The
book is set aside for you.

This stuff is pretty low maintenance. Just have to dust mop or sweep to
keep it looking nice, and wipe up spills as soon as they're noticed.

I've never had hardwood floors anywhere, but I've always loved the look
and feel of them. I first wanted to do the Pergo thing, but further
investigation led to the conclusion that the extra cost of the wood
would be well worth it. Also, if we did Pergo we likely would have done
it ourselves, and we'd still be working on laying the floor now; the
installers had it all done, start to finish, in less than 3 days. The
wood gives the place a nicer feeling, too.

Oh, pooh. Family reunion meant I missed out on two really good lace

Anastasia,
Please feel free to make a bid on the one I put in for, I've told Kim
to go ahead and take other offers, as I really have NO money right
now.
Hugs,
