About the local critters, you can keep your texan ones, I prefer my tiny yellow spiders, haha!! That snake is my worst nightmare!<br />You're kidding, 10 minutes to hoard all these fossils, I'm green!<br />I'm in love with your embossed aluminum series+Petra's drops, stunning! and I really admire the way you combine bold colors, and that red tin with flamingos, looking forward recognizing them in some earrings! and yes for the description of your creations, even the sold ones!

I, for one, love both of them. Janet, as always, I am a big fan of everything you do or say or create, especially the creepiness of the critters, just stay away from ROACHES.

That thing you do with my tiddlers is just tooooo good!! The little white bobblers are heavenly with those ravens, and ok, ok - I see what you mean about the droplets, which are helped no end by your wonderful rolled aluminium. LOVING those Verdi caps and the soldered wreaths - YES, ditto on keeping all the details!! Oh, and the orange howlite - how damn gorgeous is that???<br />Oh boy - the snake I can handle, but that leggy thing is really in the pool with you???? aaaaarrggghhh - I'd be a complete gibbering idiot if that came anywhere near me!!!

You learn so much about someone when they show you what interests them don't you think?<br />Your earrings are the spectacular usual unusual and I was tickled to see them on my friend at the farmer's market up her the other day. Those headpins made a nice long round trip didn't they? Now I have to stay away from your shop. I have tried to ramp WAY BACK form my vintage-ing forays. I'm hoping to call the last 5 years a phase of sorts and in my mind I am hoping to downsize and realize that is is probably only my mind that is downsizing!<br />Thanks for the bronze horny guy..
