    I'm charmed by the Sea Star Mother of Pearl and Sweet Pink Flower Shawl Pin /43. It's simple, elegant, affordable, unique and lovely. It, and several other shawl pins, is now on my wish list. It'd look splendid on a hand spun, handknitted shawl.

    This spindle is GORGEOUS! I have a thing for dragons, though I mostly prefer the "Western" type of dragon over the "Eastern" type... although I really like them both. My Mom was a Dragon in Chinese astrology (passed on 2001) and my Birthday once fell on the start of the Chinese new year of the dragon. I also really like all of the other spindles (I have not even started spinning yet I am waiting for my first spindle to get here!) and I am obsessed with spindles already!
    And I always love any stitch markers that are done in that style!
