LOL, no Mani, I was just razzin you, I clicked the love button yesterday and you missed it. that darn Mickey, he's always forgetting to wake up minnie, she was late for getting Pluto to the vet, last week. :-)
I think Mickey better get himself together he is causing us all trouble not keep the correct time :-) I missed your love so I will grab it now and stay cool you must be in this dreadful heat too :-(
The heat is on, that's for sure. I think Mickey is just a little jealous of the "cowboy" watches I been posting. Or he's finally hit the senile state, you know he's 84 years old. LOL
I love the this colour, amethyst being my birthstone also.......:-)
Thank you inky it is my birthstone also :-) I love how deep the color is . Thank you for the love and come again always glad to see you
LOL Kerry I think all our brains have fried in this weather and Mickey can get forgetful at his age I guess :-) Dang he still looks like he hasn't aged a day must be the lotion he puts on skin not a wrinkle in sight :-)
Thank you Scandi :-) x
Thank you bratjdd:-)
Dear Manikin dear, I have some of these paperweights also. They came in several sizes, the 4 inch one the largest. I had the 4 inch on one of those electric revolving light stands which it looked good on.
I recently got a 6 or 7 inch one. That one is massive, has a more complex arrangement of bubbles and weighs a good 10 pounds, it is so heavy it has been on my revolving lightstand which it "carves" when it moves around. It actually shaves the plastic from the stand into fine white dust !!~
I see what u mean about the deep color in your amethyst Mani, POST IT! POST IT! Oh yea, i like the two paperweights u have that are blocking it also! LOL
