I'm not sure I'd trust Temu. Maybe try it on something you know has lead in it to get a baseline and see if it really works. Just the scientist in me 🤷‍♀

[@sallythibodeaux7992]

I had the same thought.

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

I thought about it, too. So, I tested it on the oldest china that I had...a Havilland teacup from my great grandmother. It also tested negative, I don't have anything to test against that is older.

[@jeanhorne5893]

Thank you Katrina for sharing this.God bless you and have a wonderful day.

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Thank you! You too!

[@judymckinstry8130]

That was interesting. Never knew you could test your China for lead.

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

I didn't either until I saw another TH-camr do it.

[@MrAchsas]

better safe than sorry
i also bought some to test everything i use

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Definitely, especially anything with crazing.

[@janedaniel7288]

So still no excuse for the madness. 😂
I read about the Victorian house that loved the green wallpaper, fabric etc. It was giving of arsenic fumes and they had it everywhere as they felt it made them look wealthy.
The toys we had as kids would have been cover in paint that full of lead.
The vinyl/plastic smell always reminds me of Christmas morning. The new toys we got had the smell.
See you Saturday. xxJane 🐑🌼

I loved the vinyl smell of new dolls. LOL I've read about the arsenic wallpaper, too.

[@julieann5196]

That was interesting for sure. Glad all is safe.

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Me, too.

[@wilmaakastitchedbyjean3679]

All safe thankfully. Hope you have a good rest of the week. Hi Dave

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Thank you, Jean.

[@ShielaSoares]

Thanks for sharing. Glad all your dishes are safe ❣

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Us too!

[@dimitratzamtzis2018]

Hi Katrina, very interesting and now you know! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Thanks for watching! At least I won't go crazy from lead...now, I'll have to find some other excuse from my nuttiness. LOL

[@teresaharp]

YAY no lead 😃

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

LOL At least, I won't go crazy from that.

[@cherylheming1714]

Glad all your dishes are safe, I have my Mother's Corelle Ware, the double Golden Butterfly pattern...maybe that's why my husband and I are both so nutty!

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

LOL
