Here's a quick combined repost of some necklaces from my website. They're all brand new and unworn! A bunch of them are made from vintage bits and pieces. Everything comes wrapped in tissue paper and a little organza gift bag with a tag, so nice to give as presents (presents to yourself included). I can do deals if you'd like to buy more than one thing from any of my posts, and I'm happy to ...

I put a deck-mounted birdbath out back last Saturday, although I wasn't sure if anything was going to visit ... to the little birdies. The red-shouldered hawk that I startled out of the birdbath a minute ago offers another possible reason for the lack of small-bird traffic. Goodness! Never got a bird of prey at a birdbath before! I wish I'd caught him drinking, that would have been AWESOME. Well,...

Flowers in December

It's like the Postal Service song, sort of... except I'm picking flowers in December rather than swimming in November. And yet, oddly, I'm also having to defrost the the birdbath... I'm also drinking cocktails out of new-to-me 65-year-old cocktail glasses. Whee! A visit to Bad Girls Antiques has become an essential part of fetching a Christmas tree and this year was, possibly, the ...

Advent 09: Believe, Gil Grissom/Nick Stokes, FRC

... and Nick still felt empty and alone, like he'd never really left that box in the ground. A week later, in the middle of the afternoon, Nick was out in the garden, watching the birds in his birdbath, when he realised he wasn't alone. "I let myself in," Grissom said, sitting beside him. "That key is for emergencies," Nick said. "I consider one of my best CSI's quitting an emergency," Grissom ...

the case for trepanning

...: http://www.threepanelsoul.com/view.php?date=2009-11-30 best sound effect ever, and I don't mean the squeek squeek bit. Softer World and Cat & Girl also amusing me of late. My sense of humor is weird. November is finally acting its temperature, and there was an absolutely massively tubby squirrel out in the birdbath feeder. And head staging a coup d'etat, think it's time to turn lights off.

Turn and Face the Strain [Active]

... garden looked even worse than it did at night. Trees were splintered and shattered, bushes completely decimated. The roof itself was open and crumbling in some areas and the spare stone benches and unused birdbath were completely obliterated. Urd lifted a hand and placed her open palm on the remains of a cherry tree, eyes distant as she once again went over the brief but powerful battle of the ...

Like a Living Doll

...violin is gone. There’s a part of me that’s surprised she took it with her. I would have thought she’d want to leave it all behind. But then birdsong catches my attention and I open the window to the gardens. My wife is yelling at the servants and there are a dozen finches in the birdbath, singing and splashing. The garden gate is unlatched and it swings noisily in the breeze. Slowly, I smile.

... Plymouth into the driveway, the headlights sweeping across a lawn dotted with ceramic gnomes and a plaster birdbath. As he pulled himself out of the car, he noticed the kitchen light still burning. "Ginny?"...she said in an offhand tone. "Oh, remember the Johnson boys, who kept knocking over my birdbath? That nice Mr. Darkfang, you know, the werewolf whose butcher shop you do the payroll for. ...

The Kansas Incident. - Aspect 3.

.... The smell of her yard was sweet and clean, like honeysuckle on a spring day. It had the feeling of home. A weird home, maybe, but home nonetheless. I moved around the minor blockage of the pathway birdbath and felt the tingle at the top of my head telling me that I had been scanned and allowed to enter. I don't know what would have happened if the ward found me to be unwanted. Maybe there was a...
