This Friday,I thought I’d share a few more of the funny blogs I’ve subscribed. If you don’t have them saved as favorites in your Google Reader, you may want to add them.
Regretsy: The best (or worst) that etsy has to offer. Don’t miss the comments on each item. Oh, and please don’t be eating or drinking while reading or prepare to invest in a new keyboard.
People of Walmart: I swear sometimes I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at some of the photos on this site. I mean, sheesh, this is our gene pool people.

This is the weirdest thing. Have any of you had this happen when soldering low dome wire? No polishing, this is what it looks right out of the pickle…
The stripes are on the outside AND the inside.
I use a salt/vinegar pickle that is relatively new (less than a two weeks old). What was really weird was that I had a bunch of stuff in the pickle last night, as I was doing a batch of stuff at once. There were several bezels, and melted balls, pendants, a selection of fine and SS stuff, maybe 25 pieces all together. Only the low dome wire turned out with that weird striped result.
I purchased the wire from Rio. I called them and sent a couple pictures. They sent me a label to ship the remaining wire back. Now THAT’s good customer service.

Remember when I posted lists, according to Google Analytics, of search terms used to find my shop on etsy, and more search terms here? The current month’s list is equally amusing. I don’t know how effective GA is for etsy, but, at a minimum it is entertaining. LOL
1. Cool Jewelry – nice to know someone thinks I’m cool. I wonder when the last time was that I was actually cool? 1992?
2. Crocheted Smoke Ring – Smoke made tangible. Crochet even.
3. Beverage Cover – I’m trying to think of what items in my shop could be used as a beverage cover. hmmmmm
4. Edor – turns out there’s another shop owner with this name. I was thinking it was some sort of Tolkein reference.
5. How to sew a mad hatter top hat – Alice and me… we have a LOT in common
6. Make a baby shower invitation monkey – Is this a trained pet that hands out stationery?
7. Milkshake spoons – There are special spoons for milkshakes? Really? Sheesh. I know, I know, I was raised in a barn apparently.
8. No pierce nipple rings – mmm, no comment
9. Snape decal – Harry Potter has left the building. Or at least my shop.
10. Terrarium plants experiment report – wondering what, exactly, one was conducting this ‘experiment’ for?
11. Two cheeky monkeys - aha!! Another Craig Ferguson fan.
12. Weiner dog necklace – is this ‘of’ the dog or ‘for’ the dog?
You just can’t make this stuff up….

Apatite, the most common phosphate mineral is a member of the Apatite group (isomorphous hexagonal mineral group) and usually appears in blue or green shade. However, the color ranges from colorless, white, yellow to red, brown, pink or purple. It is a brittle stone, and I wouldn’t recommend using it in bracelets or rings, unless extreme care is given in their wear.
Apatite is believed to decrease appetite (hunger) as well as enhance insight, creativity and learning. It is said that wearing apatite will enhance focus, clarity for concentration, intellect, acceptance, and unconditional love. This acceptance and unconditional love relates to the self as well as from others.
I have a couple shades in my bead stash, and used two of them in these lovely silver hoop earrings.
I used the green faceted apatite rondelles to wrap shiny silver hoops, and the more teal/cerulean blue color smooth rondelles to dangle from the oxidized silver pair.
I can’t decide which shade I like better. What do you think?
