Very nice! I like the keychain idea. And nothing tops a tin of butter cookies. I can eat the whole thing!
My uncle made everyone a keychain. It was really quite beautiful. I loved it at least. I like the Danish butter cookies but being part scottish makes me like shortbread more. 😆 🙄

Don’t undervalue your work. I’m sure you wouldn’t get $600 for it even if it was worth twice as much. Unfortunatly, people don’t understand time and cost of materials or the time consumed in planning. I stopped painting for a reason.
I really liked this tapestry. I would buy it from you for more than $100 if I could. Having no money sucks. I’m really glad Ski is interested.What I got for Christmas?
The Pink Panther classic cartoon collection (yea), an mp3 player, two jars of clay cds, pictures, photo paper, a tool set, a cool avon watch charm bracelette, an angel keychain with my Grandmas picture in it 😥 I miss my Grandma so much. I also got two boxes of Chocolates from work, and a corningware baking dish. And finally a canister of Danish Butter Cookies. Well one more item this was an early Christmas gift, my late aunts gold watch. And to top that one off one of my late Grandmas broches and one of her necklaces.Oh those. I really like the bears. There is an onix bear on there right now that I would like. Those fetish (totem)things are cool. I find I have really expensive tastes.

It was retired in 2004. I’ve never seen one on ebay. I don’t know what they normally go for. Sorry, I can only relay the prices given to me. I can’t change them. As far as I can see it’s in great condition. No they wouldn’t have the box. It’s been there for many years so it’s dusty. But other than that….I’m going to buy the paper tiger tomorrow if you would like me to have another look at it.Yes, please have another look at it. Make sure it is in mint condition (no nicks, chips or anything else). And then let me know the details. Thank you.
No problem. I’ll hopefully be home before 8:00 Friday. I’ll let you know.

But other than that….I’m going to buy the paper tiger tomorrow if you would like me to have another look at it.These are still in the store. They have 2 owl sconces. Each one is $72.50 CDN, with tax they should be around $84.90. With the current exchange rate that is alittle more than $73US.
I bought the gargoyle, while I was paying I saw the paper tiger and the wizards retreat. The only one I’ve bought so far is the gargoyle. (I think the retreat is overpriced, I wonder if they raised the prices?) If you are interested, they are at Conestoga Mall in Waterloo. I could find the phone# for you if you want to call. I’m heading out to Cambridge Center today (maybe depends on UPS). I’m going to see if the Green Earth there has anything. I think I remember seeing a dragon there. Which I’m not sure now.
I went into Green Earth today and I found a few jems for 50% off. Is anyone interested? They have:
2 Owl Sconces for $73US each.
1 Wizard’s Retreat $70US
1 Gargolyle Sconce $48.25US
1 Paper Tiger $48.25US!!
These prices are with the 50% off already.The paper tiger and the garg. I’m thinking of buying for myself. I’ll see. If anyone is interested I’ll buy them for you and ship them to you for exactly what I paid for them. Never know I might find something else the next time I pop in. (Of course I’ll have to charge for shipping as well.)

Try the Green Earth in Burlington. She told me their franchise was different from the others. She still carries Windstone (she still did last summer when I got my Black&Gold male and that’s where I got my Ruby mother). I haven’t called yet for the golds or the emp-peas, but I’m guessing that if she doesn’t have them, she’ll order them.
Oh, oh! You know what? We should get together there and raid the place next year! 😀
Oh really? That’s good to know! And yeah, that’s a great idea! I don’t know Burlington that well, i usually have only been there for the IKEA heh heh A combining of forces for a raid sounds like a great idea ^_^
Burlington? Really? The Green Earth near where I work has two owl sconces and a garg. sconce. But, if the Green Earth in Burlington still sells Windstones….Much closer to me than Ottawa. Hum, a day trip might just be in order.
dragonessjade wrote:They are only open Monday thru Friday. She will reply you just have to be patient. Plus remember the holidays….They might be closed a couple of days.
🙄 Really, didn’t know that. (Sorry about the sarcasm.)I honestly do know that. I emailed at the begining of December. I’m sure that they are closed a few days now if not two weeks. I’m not in any kind of rush. And I told them that in the email. I’m just saying that I would like some paint for my Emperor so I’ll ask when I email about that. I’m sorry if I sounded like I needed it yesterday. That’s not what I was meaning to sound like. Anyways Happy Holidays to all of you reading this.
Hmmm…..Lindt. My favorite. (I only crave it once a month though). Then it’s chips. No chips for me though. But, I always have to buy a new lindt bar every month. Or the cheaper but, not as good, Govenors table. (High end store brand marketed by the Bay.)
😥 I won a young black unicorn last month on Ebay. The seller sent it out by Airmail. It went into customs on November 28th and just poof…It’s gone. I know the seller sent it, she tracked it to customs and gave me a customs#. Now on my next day off I need to call customs and find out if it left there or not. 😥 Why does this keep happening to me? I way overpaid too. (My max bid was a mistake, since there were two others on ebay at the time I didn’t think it would go even near as high as it did.)
Then I bought a bearfeet candlelamp, the seller put that she ships by USPS, next thing I know she sends me a UPS tracking#. Now I’ll pay an extra $45 in fees. It was supposed to get here before Christmas. It’s still in Windsor. It’s been there since Wednesday. I hate UPS. I’ve never had a positive transaction with them. Not when I had my buisness and especially not now. Sorry to those who will only ship by UPS. Not my cup of tea.
Sorry to vent. I’m so upset. Anyways in case I’m not on later
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year.

There are still some Pearls available direct from the factory, at least that’s what the ebay gallery says! Try emailing Karen.
I emailed and didn’t get a reply so I assumed that they don’t have any. But I would like to get some paint for my peacock emperor to cover his freckles. So I’ll try again.
I’m one of the ones who sees reserve and trys to figure out what it is. I’ll bid till I find out. I’m not so bad now. After I won a bradford exchange perpetual calander that I can’t even give away, that is. I guess I liked it when I bid on it but, now I just can’t stand it. It’s too fluffy cute. No-one seems to want it though. I’m sure I paid less than it was originally but, I think I overpaid. I don’t even bother with Bradford anymore. They seem to go down in price more and more every year.
