I had a barn full of laboratory glass—some from my husband's chemical company and some from a colleague's lab. Now it's in the house. I sell stuff on eBay, but don't want to ship fragile Pyrex. So I list it on Craigslist. I've sold about half of it, but now I'm at the "make me an offer for everything" stage.
You never cease to amaze me. "... a barn full of laboratory glass ..."
ReplyDeleteAs much as I wish to own only the things I need, I still have a half-fantasy of buying a house and discovering an attic or barn full of someone else's treasures.
ReplyDeleteMy attic was bare (no longer!), but the barn did have some interesting items. Along with a wall filled with bees. Live ones.
ReplyDeleteLaboratory glass! I remember Erlenmeyer and Florence Flasks from high school science classes. I always pretended they were a married couple.
ReplyDeleteYou were a born writer, Dona. I'm thinking Florence must have been curvy.
