The Perils of Collecting - Pt II

So, like I was saying before, one of the perils of collecting I've encountered is that I can't spell worth a flip. Vintage glassware is pretty notorious for exposing one to un-spellable, un-typeable words, such as

Chartreuse

And how about this humdinger?

Iridescent

I've come to accept these words by brain-training, hooked-on-phonics style:

chart + re + use

I + ride + scent

***

I was SO sure before I started writing this post that there were more than two new words that I had since come to realize gave me google-fits. But nope, that's all I can come up with.

Maybe the next Perils post will be about what REALLY gives me google-fits.

UNMARKED everything!
