I recently enjoyed an afternoon browsing at a local antiques fair. I'm a bit of a regular at the fairs and often get recognised by the sellers, so I always make sure I'm glammed up as I have a standard to uphold, plus it keeps all the old dears entertained! I was there to collect a ring that was being resized for me; a ring that I fell in love with a few months ago and have been eager to collect ever since... but more on that later.
The turban-esque hat I am wearing has constantly been on my head since I purchased it. The rich red colour and velvet exterior make it the perfect hat for this time of year. I added a little articulated peacock brooch, as no turban is complete without a central jewel! As I was wearing high-waisted trousers, I wanted to keep my outfits proportions sleek with a cropped jacket. Luckily, in the depths of my wardrobe I found this fur collared creation, which I haven't worn in years. Long leather gloves ensured my arms didn't succumb to frostbite.

And here is the ring I was collecting.... The setting and overall design is nothing too special, however it is the central stone that had me instantly enamoured. The vivid, fiery red glows like lava. My boyfriend so eloquently said it looks like a 'cheap ruby', it is in fact a fire opal. I'd never heard of these before, and found its colour fascinating especially in comparison to the 'common' opal. The couple who sold it to me (who, incidentally, also sold me my Victorian beetle brooch) don't normally stock jewellery from the mid-century, however they made an exception with this ring as they considered it so special, and I have to agree!

Hi, i just want to say hello to the community
Ahhh that turban is sooo gorgeous!
I've always liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of fair-minded spend space staring at it as a formality of catharsis. In a course, it helps me with meditation, to mitigate stress and strain and decent think fro nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've perpetually collected more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, tuneful boxes etc. So I was most charmed when I found the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Shine Appear Laser Top Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com protection the Toys section. It's like a harmonious belt, a spinning head, and a radiance verify all rolled into one. Which is prodigious entertainment! The gyroscope wishes outing representing around a minute. The laser enlightenment show with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a very unequalled toy that my friends have also been most amused with.
My dogs are also beautiful outr?nearly the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They evermore cleave to the gyroscope as it spins, although at principal they kept barking at the laser insight advertise, and also because it produces music. But after they got employed it, they've stopped barking but just maintain following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also bonny amused nearby it. On occasion it's meet to maintain pleasing toys throughout the blood so that you can go away the toy on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you go provide for foodstuffs or fall heir to changed. The gyroscope is inseparable such toy with this purpose.
The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a intent plot on it, and produces a dainty exposition with red, blue, and common colours. Steal a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser incandescence show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that renowned but decorous enough to consider any redone guest to the house. The gyroscope is red and jet-black, making it look particular coolth, and to some masculine with that dragon imprint.
The music light make clear gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also acclimatized this gyroscope to surprise my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy terror of decorating the b & b latitude with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as correctly so that the laser brighten show produces a ideal effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the sunrise effects created a degree romanticist atmosphere. She loved it, by the going, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-performance shopping locality for all gifts and ideas in support of emotional occasions.
Since Christmas is coming, this laser light playing gyroscope can maybe be a great Christmas gift looking for the toddler or neutral the humour! Alternatively, the gyroscope can really be a polite summation to the usual Christmas decorations. I can imagine placing it near the Christmas tree and peradventure spinning it when guests succeed in the house.
