I grabbed this post from Facebook, where I originally uploaded it on January 5, 2018.
My social media followers often ask me to share some simple vignettes from my life. There are critics who are CERTAIN I can’t possibly have a Lead-free/ Lead-safe home (they insist I must have some Lead in my home!) so I especially like to share the simple ways I keep my spaces Lead-free.

This is a photo I took when I was taking a snack up to my son who was sick in bed.
It’s not expensive to keep a Lead-free home!
- Lead-free unpainted wood table: $35, yard sale
- Lead-free clear glass plate: Someone left it behind at a Phish concert (in July 2015) after everyone had gone and I was striking my booth!
- Lead-free glass of Lead-free filtered water: Kerr jar! This was purchased locally at a store on our block.
- Food: Organic local Fuji apple, sliced and an organic cutie orangeAffiliate link*: To Kerr jars, http://amzn.to/2CwgfwQ

Sweet post, nice to read! You’ve said it helps to know the name of dish patterns; the grape vine plate in your photo above is Cristal D’arques Durand Mallory. I have a few of these plates which I like very much and am grateful to hear the one you tested is lead-free! 🙂
