Elise is having a sale

Elise is having a large sale for various noble purposes, and it will be the last one for a while because she will be starting her convention season. Here is the link:

Well worth just admiring at length, even if you can't afford to buy anything. And bear in mind that Elise discounts things dramatically from time to time, so "can't afford" might change.

Elise also asked that people who have some of her shinies talk a little about one that we have, or that inspired us. I'm glad she didn't ask for a favorite, because I couldn't.

The necklace I'm about to put on to go to the MinnStf party tonight is called "Strategy and Tactics Among the Mermaids." It is purple and green and iridescent and structured and it brought back to me all the times that I visited Eric in California and we went to Moss Beach to look at the tidepools and be stared out of countenance by the harbor seals. I started a story based on it. The story is now either trying to become a novel or just being annoying, but I'll get to the end of it one day.

I could not, in fact, afford the necklace, but I admired it in Elise's comments section and an extremely kind friend got hold of Elise and bought it for me, which made all three of us happy.
