New kind of desk organizer! @totallydonna.kitrocha.com picked this one out and she was so right, I love how these look in my pretty gradients! I also found out it can prop up an ereader as well as a phone.

Last Christmas Ich gave thee myne hearte
The verye next daye ther came a wolf
Wyth sinews of whispers - quiet as frost -
And the wolf stole myne hearte, fled
To a tower out of tyme biyonde all the stars.
Seek now myne hearte,
Return it within a yeare and a daye:
Thys ys thy queste
Fayle not

In more pleasant memories, 45 years ago this month brought us Candlelight Ecstasy and one of the wackiest (complimentary?) books I’ve ever read.

I went and picked him up from the rescue. He is very very sweet, zero spice in him at all. Found rurally, took himself up to a house and screamed for help.
He's had a bath, and is currently purring under my chin.

"I have heard that the thoughts you think most often, and strongest, are etched on the inside of your skull," the necromancer's assistant said. "Is that true?"
"It is," the necromancer said. "Though I rarely try to read them."
"Will you read mine, when I'm dead?"
"Do you want me to?"
"Yes."

A dragon for #ArtAdventCalendar day 6! This little dragon pendant was handmade with polymer clay. It has a Prestige crystal in its tail and rhinestone eyes, and has been brushed with chameleon powder so it shimmers from aqua to purple depending on the light. 🧶🐉

It's day 7 of #ArtAdventCalendar! I added some new trinket boxes to the shop this morning, so it seemed like a good time to share one!
This one shimmers from turquoise to purple depending on the light. Each box is built by hand around a metal box, with rhinestones and painted glass cabochons.

Not sure how it's already day 10 of #ArtAdventCalendar, but here we are! Here's one of my little polymer clay crows. Each feather is cut and textured, and the crows are always brushed with chameleon powder for a little extra magic.

Day 14 of #ArtAdventCalendar! Sharing some book necklaces for today. Each book is made of polymer clay with stars falling from them. To make it even more fun, the books spin on the wires, making them an excellent fidget.

“Reindeer” is unrelated to “rein.”
It’s from the Old Norse hreindyri, literally “reindeer animal,” with dyr being a word for any wild quadruped—just like Old English deor—and hreinn being the typical/more specific word for a reindeer in Old Norse. (The Old English word for a reindeer was hran.)
