Fightin’ Femmes: Unmasking Female Superheroes with Author Mike Madrid

Found the white Atol by Kosta Boda today. Just sitting on the self waiting for me with a buck seventy five price tag. Near a KB snowball with three bucks on it. (didn't bite on the snowball, seemed pricey) I had found the blue one late summer and the purple last winter. Three makes a collection right?
The white looks fab with my Cool Moon KB votive.
Yum, love all that swirly goodness...

As someone said at CW some tme "three is the beging of a collection, 7 (the number of the Atolls I've got) is an obsession" :) But they are lovely!
Austro, when does it become hoarder?
Can you take a picture of your Atols? I remember that they are under your coffee table?
This are beautiful! AmberRose Thank you for sharing.
Oh, yes, they were under the coffee table, now they live in the bedroom... the coffee table (over, under and around) has become Lütken territory ;)
Atolls will come after item No.300 ;)
Okay! Looking forward to it!
Thank you Brat, you are a real sweetie pie!!
$3 bucks is pricey? You must be REALLY THRIFTY! More likely Im just paying too much!
I totally agree with JayHow! I was so happy when was able to get some of mine for under 10 euros!
I have been picking up snowballs for 90 cents for ages now. I have about twenty, so yes, when the the Atoll is two bucks and the snowball is three, it does seem pricey.
Yes, I did give myself a little talk about being cheapskate. I had picked up a signed snowball last week for two...
So you've got about 20 snowballs... WOOOOW! I guess I don't have to tell you then about how wonderful they look by night, all with their candles on, spread on the floor od the porch, veranda, "terraza"... we usually do so whenever we have guests for dinner, no matter we'll stay indoors :)
Never seen a raseberry Orrefos in the wild. Would never pay 7 bucks! But apparently I am a cheapy...so proud!
