Heaps of blue and white 'delftware' dishes, stuck together and with broken edges. The decorations appear to be individual designs, with flowers and foliage, geometric patterns, birds and brushstrokes. Several of the ceramic trivets are visible, intended to separate the dishes and prevent them from sticking together. 
These were in the Museum of London before it closed in order to reestablish as London Museum in Smithfield Market, planned for later in 2026.

Stuff that's discarded tells a tale too.
These stacks of fused plates w trivets resulted from a Rotherhithe pottery kiln overheating disastrously c.1620-30.
Near Pickleherring site in Southwark, a London delftware production centre from c.1618.
Will they be in new London Museum 2026?

I don't think I knew mine even when I was using it :p I even had a nice short one for a while, but got locked out of that account and then had to get a longer one.

The replacement tape I bought doesn't work well at all. 😩 It won't stick properly to the paper OR the board. So, I'm on questionable attempt number 5 of what was supposed to be a simple background :P

I use OnlyPosts regularly (filters off reposts, which makes it easier for me to see people's actual posts, but does mean I miss out on a lot of really good reposts) and I've noticed a similar thing. Would love to have private lists so I can choose whose posts AND reposts I want to see.

Those stamps people use to stamp their books with something like "From the library of [Name]" or "Property of [Name]".

The corner of the painting board I've been using on the floor. It has two dirty paint water jars right next to my teacup. The teacup has black and white cows on a green background. The paint water containers are two different sizes McCutcheon's preserves jars (blue and purple water) and a plastic tub that probably held some delivery soup or sauce (clear water). There's also some small, pastel purple dumbbells weighing down my watercolor paper and a bunch of paper towels, clean and dirty. Also a couple paint brushes. I'll let you know later how the paint water tastes.

Two light purple crocuses sticking out of the grass in a patch of bright sunlight, taken from almost ground level. More grass and the lower part of a fence in the background.

Coffee bags, one is Tom of Finland with a Tom of Finland image on it. The other is Moomin with a Moomin leaning on a blueberry. More details: in the photograph of two "Art Roast" coffee bags on the shelf of a store with prices in euros. One of the bags is large and black and says HEAVY DUTY dark roast coffee beans, exclusive blend by Robert [I can't read it, it's in script]. The other is blue and says Blueberry coffee.
