Darling, I haven't shipped the damn things yet. I am mail challenged b/c I don't drive to work, in addition to being a master procrastinator. I'll let you know when I get them shipped.
No hurries or worries - I was afraid that I totally effed you.
It's all about the coat.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I read the first Anne book(maybe 2). I liked them, but I didn't find them till I was a bit too old for them to really capture me...I think I was already fourteen or something.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
IMNSHO Megan Follows is a more perfect Anne Shirley than Jeremy Brett was a Sherlock Holmes. Which says something.
Cuz, really, RDJ's Sherlock Holmes only has the boxing scenes over Jeremy Brett's.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Anniversary, Shari!

Hearts Windsparrow. She's only right, you know.
I just finished unpacking the rest of my jewelry from the move. What I've been wearing has been reposing between wearings in a saucer and a canape tray on my dresser. The silver pieces I've started keeping in small plastic ziplok bags between wearings, as it cuts down on tarnish and therefore polishing time, and also keeps chains from tangling together. I have some tiny bags made of beads, with bead fringe and each of those gets its own little ziplok, as do the handpainted silk bags. A couple of pairs of earrings, or earrings and the necklace they're worn with, go together in a baggie.
And all the bags are sorted by type, and are loaded into four sets of small drawers, pretty paper-covered cardboard, two drawers per unit, units stacked on my built-in bookcase. Accessible, pre-sorted, decorative. And they don't advertise "Jewelry!". I do miss my hanging necklace rack. Maybe I'll put that up for all the pendant-on-cord necklaces I still need to sort.
ETA: You can buy tarnish-resistant paper at some jewelry or craft stores. I snip stamp-sized pieces, then cut those in half and tuck one into each bag with the silver jewelry. I rarely have to polish any of my jewelry any more. Just FYI.

If any Anne of Green Gables fans haven't seen this appraisal from Antiques Roadshow, I recommend taking a look. To summarize, a woman and her daughter got hooked on the book via the PBS miniseries and she picked the book up for her daughter when she found it at a flea market, where she spent no more than $5 for it. Turns out it's a first edition and worth $12,000 to $18,000, possibly more!

I live in hope that someday I will find a first edition of Something Wicked This Way Comes at a thrift store. It's my impossible dream.

I have a 2nd edition of GWTW that I love and pet often. Not worth nearly as much, but I still loves it.

My happiest book find was at a friends-of-the-library sale where I found the collection of C.L. Moore's short stories that I had been looking for since college. I literally squealed when I saw it sitting on the hardcover table (got a few strange looks from others nearby for that noise). It's not a valuable book at all, but I treasure it.
