Entirely new shiny objects

I probably haven't mentioned this before, that's just my bad, but like you might have noticed from the previous post there's a whole new class of items: necklaces! I did a few for Valentine's Day, but obviously, they're available all year round and don't look half bad (even if I do say so myself) during other days as well. Hurrah for multipurpose! Wait, is it really multipurpose if it's wearable on any day or is that just functionaly stylish?
I'm gonna say it's both!

So here's the one with the heart (for the traditionalists):


And a few of the flowery ones (next to wearing a heart on your neck, probably the most traditional one):




OR, if you're the type of person who doesn't really believe in flowers and necklaces on Valentine's Day, there's always less mushy alternatives. Like a flying pig!


Or..er.. an angry severed head:


The other new thought not shiny, thing we got are the coasters! They're made from sandstone and I'm told they're pretty awesome in absorbing any spilt liquids. Besides, they're difinitely a design object. Stack a few of these on top of each other and it looks like a minty ice cream sandwich:


AND and, as if that wasn't enough of the goodstuff, keychains also got an upgraded alternative. The old type of keychains are still very much available, but you can also get te same designs on these new ones with the fancy metal edges and hard materials:

Friday's Foreing Objects

Coming to you in a special broacast on Sunday! That's winter for you. I blame the snow. Yes, excessive snow is what halted the FFOs and not something like getting distracted by shiny objects.
But to be honest, aren't you just a tiny bit done with with the snow already? February is limping its final days and we're soon in glorious new March, so wouldn't it be nice to see some warm weather and green grass? To entice that warm weather to get here as soon as, this Special Edition of FFO is all about green. Yes, the colour green.
Green like the Celts (ok, they weren't really green themselves, but Ireland is the Emerald Isle, no?)


And green like the forest.. with loads of water on it. Note that I'm NOT trying to entice flooding, just warm weather:


All the fashionable ladies are green too:


Because green is the colour of baby dragons (the ones that aren't blue or red or salmon or magenta anyway):


Green is the colour of goths-who-like-glowy things (or certain bands):


Your fridge should also be green. Let this be a reminder:


And your shoes because then grass stains would show less and because ferrets are awesome:


Of course the fairies are green too:


And because she's a fashionable and powerful woman, Wonder Woman is also green:


So that's for casting a spell on Spring. Fingers crossed she'll be here sooner rather than later. Things need to grown and thrive and blossom!
