Totals for September’s Silver Challenge:
Sharyn – #1 with a whopping 105 items – 4 points
Four-way tie for #2 between the Vintages Treasures and Lacy, Amatino, and myself, all of us with 2 items – 3 points each
1 extra bonus point to Amatino for her extra-creative justification of her second silver item. I was completely convinced by her rationale. So a total of 4 to Amatino, tying with Sharyn. (Sharyn will have the last laugh when all her stuff sells, though.)
Since everyone made the scoreboard, no Participation Czar will be anointed.
If I forgot anyone or just can’t count properly, let me know.
0 for me last week, very busy at work. This week probably will be the same. Hopefully next will be better.
I think would be the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, or some similar place with religious significance that draws a lot of pilgrims. That would get me to 100 pretty quick. Although maybe it would be interesting to be an inanimate object for a little bit and experience the world that way, so I should choose something less popular? That would assume you retain some sort of consciousness, though. Overthinking the stupid question, story of my life….
“The Baleful Binnacle” sounds like something Lemony Snicket would write…maybe that should be your book 🙂
I think most of us would meet this exception:
Businesses with less than 10 employees and government agencies are exempt from Proposition 65’s warning requirements and prohibition on discharges into drinking water sources.
Businesses are also exempt from the warning requirement and discharge prohibition if the exposures they cause are so low as to create no significant risk of cancer or are significantly below levels observed to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

I haven’t made progress on any of my self-identified woes, but I did take a bunch of stuff to the Goodwill that had been taking up the back of my car forever, does that count?
I haven’t had the intersection of time and will to list lately. Maybe the paper challenge will help!
It looks like it says “echtes Zinn” which in German means “real pewter”. Don’t know about the PL 18 marking, probably some manufacturing line or mold number like Mike said.
19 for me, 2 of which were silver.
Congrats to you and Charlie, VL! That is a lovely spot for a proposal, well done of him.
WW#1 – I have two original paintings by a local artist. I need to figure out how to price them, how to ship them, etc. It’s really not that hard but they are higher than my usual price point so I feel nervous about the whole thing. Setting myself the goal to list at least one. I am very busy at my day job this month so hopefully it will happen.
You’ve never heard of it because I just made it up! It doesn’t really mean anything, just that someone will be picked as the winner from amongst all those who participate but don’t place. I thought giving it a title would make it sound fancier. 🙂
Hmm…the rules…okay it has to have actual silver content (e.g. sterling, silverplate), be silver colored (stainless steel! nickel plated! shiny-ish gray!), have silver in the title (“By the Shores of Silver Lake” “Silver Bells” etc.) or have something to do with second place in a contest of some sort (a/k/a the silver medal). Three extra bonus points for anything you list that has to do with a 25th anniversary. One extra bonus point for the most creative justification of how something fits the silver criteria. First, second, third place will be awarded, as well as a Participation Czar to be randomly selected from everyone else who joins in. Have I left anything out?
FYI, I think either a) everyone will get one eventually, or b) it’s allotted randomly. I got one and have only been selling for around 4 years, although I’ve been on ebay as a buyer for longer than that.
It occurs to me that ebay is advertising their 25th anniversary, which is traditionally the silver wedding anniversary. So playing off Sharyn’s post, how about Silver in September? Actual silverplate, silver (or silvertone) jewelry and coins, silver colored items (which I think can be interpreted with significant latitude), books and music with “silver” in the title? If anyone has a better idea, though, I’m all for it.
10 for me this week. I didn’t post last week as we were out of town, also had 10 for that week.
