In the annual search for the Platonic Ideal of Skulls Available in Legal Retail Settings, Hubby found me a gorgeous, heavy glass skull candle holder. The cup for the candle is dyed fuschia, which gives a wonderful gory glow to the whole thing when there's a candle in it. And it's cast so that the candle flame is focused in the depths of the eye sockets, flickering evilly.

Truly, this is the most wonderful time of the year.

I had sushi for dinner, with Tom and my new roomie! Yay, good times. So far she seems very cool. I will cross my fingers there are no secret "linger in the kitchen" issues. :) She and Tom and I are all now in the living room on the internet on our various Mac products. I'm amused.

I haven't had sushi in a while. WANT.

Connie, where did he find that particular skull candle holder? Why no, I don't have enough good skull candle holders, why do you ask?

Can anyone have enough good skull candle holders (glancing around at the three in view)?

He got it at the upscale thrift shop Tuesday Morning. I don't know if you have any near you or if their stock is regional, but it's worth a shot.

edited because Til Tuesday is a band and Tuesday Morning is a store. And Tuesday Afternoon is a very good song.

There's one in Lynnwood and another in Kirkland, Jilli.

smonster, remember - crazy is like a stray cat - feed it and you'll never get rid of it

There's a Tuesday Morning near me, I should check it for skulls!

Yes, this. Just ignore her and go about your day, or move without her.

I expect that in your sleep you were beating your breast in remorse over kitchen-lingering.

Haaaaaaa. Awesome.
