Discoveries
I am furiously getting ready for an upcoming photoshoot project (see Channelling Your Inner Pinup — part 2). This involves organizing costuming, making sure everything is pressed and smooth, and hanging stuff up in suit and dress bags.
To help me with the pressing, I needed a steamer. I knew we had one somewhere and my first lucky find was the travel steamer!!!!
Well okay, maybe NOT quite so lucky.
I naively thought I could employ this to help remove the packing folds from some items we had ordered online. Ha ha ha. Turns out a travel-size steamer is not really capable of the sort of action I was looking for. Drat.
On the plus side, however, it was nice to locate the steamer which has been hidden from view for several years, and which according to my spouse was “lost”. When I showed him where I had found it, he snorted “Well no wonder, it was hidden” (trust me, it wasn’t.)
My second lucky find was a suitcase in the basement which held all my pedicure equipment.
Years ago I used to lug this case around to various elderly and shut-in clients in order to give them a pedicure while their hair was drying under my portable dryer.
Today I had been rooting around in the basement in search of a mid-size suitcase into which I could pack my hairdressing supplies for the shoot. Turns out this was the imagined mid-sized suitcase, and it’s actually not mid-sized and is way too big for my purpose, but great that I now know what I did with all the pedicure supplies. (It’s pretty amazing they have been there for the past 16 years without my missing them. I guess that shows I haven’t been pursuing hairdressing and feet in recent times.)
Neither of these “finds” was really exciting, but they somewhat relieved the tedium of trying to get stuff organized.
