Ringing out the Old Year
My friends are so sweet. My Evil Twin and the Evil Stalker (my dear Dark Side sisters) came over last night to give me present. It was so wonderful to see them. I was shocked when they pulled a giant gold box out of the trunk of the car and unloaded it on me. Somehow, I mananged to get inside and into my room to open it. And there it was…
Nice, huh? I seem to remember having my eye on this. Maybe I was shopping with the girls, saw it, got excited, and they remembered. I don’t know. I’m lucky to get it. Apparently, it was the last one left. I mean, the last one. It was the one on display. There wasn’t even a box for it. They wrapped it very carefully with plastic bags and such only to have Micky (My Evil Twin) close the trunk on it and crush the glass from one of the doors. Their own hearts crushed, they were nevertheless daunted. With the ingenuity that runs in their blood (and I mean that), they cut a new piece of glass as a replacement. You might notice the difference of the two panes in the first picture. The original has a milky flower pattern.
I love the effect. It looks like a true antique. It even has a little handle missing on one of the doors (which the girls said I could replace with an odd earring). It truly is special. One of a kind. Not another like it. Anywhere. *grin*
I just need to find a place for it. While I’m at it, I may as well show off my room in it’s state of near perfection.
Here’s a view of the preliminary chaos.
And the results…
Ah, yes, 2007 was a great year. It’s not really my new year, but Happy Gregorian New Year to you all, anyway!
