Too funny….the lamp caught my eye even before the shells! I enjoy those “ugly” old lamps, too. I just have one…a big monster with a carnival glass base. I had to buy a shade for it and found an old fashioned type with fringes. lol
The shells and crystal balls, etc. are beautiful, too! 😉
As requested, my itty bitty sphere collection. (With an oddball crystal jewel for good measure!) 🙂
Wouldn’t mind getting some in malachite, lapis, fluorite, silver sheen obsidian…if I win the lotto someday! 😆
Neat stuff, Adaneth! 😀 I don’t have a malachite sphere, but if you would like a few tumbled pieces of malachite (no charge), just drop me a PM. I have about 35 of them, from a project that never saw the light of day. lol
Adaneth and WC and someone else posted marbles, I think! LOVE them all! Here are some of my crystal balls/marbles – anything glass and shiney right Iamortafille?! lol
above my computer desk:
in the dining room and I should be embarassed to post this picture because of all the dust, but my dining room is really a workroom and neglected:
in the family room -hard to see the crystal balls really:
Very nice! 🙂 I like that blue marble with the orange flowers and that pale sphere on the tall stand. Beautiful stands for those marbles too–are they pewter?
I do already have tumbled malachite, lamortefille, but it was kind of you to offer! 🙂
Wow! I love everyone’s pretties! I don’t know where I began my liking of all things sphere, but I am glad I brought it up! Great pics everyone! 😀

Haha, liking all things sphere – probably because there is NO BEGINNING OR ENDING – much like your Windstone collecting habits ::runs n hides::: LOL

Hi Adaneth! That blue marble is really neat it has glittery glass swirls inside, with little flowers and hummingbirds, it amazes me those glass artists can do things like that; can’t remember who made it :/ The pale sphere on the tall stand in the dining room is a calcite sphere, I like those they tend to have some rainbows inside like quartz crystals. I have one real quartz crystal, and one amethyst crystal, beautiful and probably my favs over just the various glass or ‘crystal glass’. But the marbles are AS kewl and sometimes better than the natural crystals, because the possibilities are ENDLESS. Oh yeah, the pewter stands are made by my first love: Fellowship Foundry, they have pewter stands engraved like celtic knotwork with dragons, small and large and they have a large claw holder, a small gargoyle stand and hmm, a small dragon stand I think.
OH LORDY we are having a FIERCE lightening storm.
GOODBYE 🙂

**Chases you around with a wet noodle giggling the whole time** XD XDActually, no…I have far more Windstones, and am more apt to buy them than spheres. I don’t have marbles though. 😕 I just go on binges and add to my collections when there aren’t Wndstones around I want, or can afford. 😳

umm…what are geocoins? 😳
Don’t feel bad…I was wondering the same thing. 😉Oops! I forgot to explain what they are hehe! 😳 You hide them in geocaching containers. Typically they come with a tracking number, which you can enter & track at geocaching.com. So when you find one in a cache and enter its number you can see all of the places the coin has been! Many of them have traveled all over the world. Though all of the coins in my collection are unactivated and have never been hidden in caches.
To go geocaching, you use a GPS and search for caches with its coordinates that have been logged at geocaching.com. From the site:
Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.
A word of warning, geocaching is addicting. 😀
Cool! It sounds like fun, but I’d probably have a hard time giving up any really cool ones I found. 😳 I get that from my Gramma…She had over 1,000 sets of salt and pepper shakers…SETS! Not to mention the cases and cases of unused Avon perfume and cologne bottles of all shapes and sizes. 😮
