What have you bought lately?

Stuff to eat.

I didn't buy this today, nor did I receive it today. But I did try it out today, and I'm really pleased with it. Smaller water bottles are a little more hard to find, especially cute ones. This is 300ml/12floz.

  Awww, it's got a little lanyard. 

Did anyone notice also that it has a cute little picture of a cat on it?

I thought it was Hello Kitty at first, then realised it wasn't.

Here are more pictures of it. It's the 300ml pink one. The blue one has a panda on it. Pandas aren't my favourite animal. The even smaller bottle looks like it has elephants on it.

Hard to tell what they are because the bottles are clear. But I know I would definitely prefer the cat.

  So it does!  It looks like this one.  --->

Actually, that does!

That's a cute water bottle. 

I haven't really been out this week, trying to be good and stay out of the thrift store.

Bought a HUGE box of glass beads and jewelry supplies last week for $15.00.

...and picked up this ring for a .25
It was black as coal when I bought it.



Sterling and yep, real diamonds (small as shit, but real). It's missing one though, I think I do have a stray earring around here that can provide a replacement.

It's all sparkly and shit in the sun.

That's a pretty ring. I never buy silver because of the tarnishing thing, it's annoying. Silver coloured things, yes. Gold suits my skintone better.

Did you really say you bought it for a quarter?  A quarter of what, the farm?

I guess you recognized that the color meant silver, at least silver plate, but diamonds?



Note to JC:  the tarnish of silver can be greatly postponed with an occasional dip in household ammonia. Just put your ring into a bottle cap and barely cover it with ammonia. A buck for a pint which will last for years.
Or if you can afford a sonic cleaner (uses a neutral glycerin compound and supersonic wave generator to do the work) it will keep your silver clean indefinitely after a short bath once a month.

I thought ammonia was poisonous.

[Parts]

A quart of shellac and some ebony stain

['andersom']

I thought ammonia was poisonous.

I just bought a litre of the stuff.

Not for food purposes  though.

Unless my tester lies. Low quality though, think QVC special by the way they are set.

High resale "might" bring around $100...and that's a big might and probably only if the missing one was replaced. But this is a keeper.

Someone had tried to clean it with a paste cleaner and the stones where almost as filthy looking as the band.

I bought a miniature Centipede arcade machine for 20 bucks, it's the size of a coffee mug and it plays like a Nintendo or Atari console version of Centipede, kinda amazing.
