My baby fur before and after (7 years ago she refused to lay still, unlike now: lazy and sit back all the time :lol: :nuts:. And gained weight also so!)View attachment 5109301

Awww…look at that face.

We’re dealing with 3 aging furbabies at home. One just turned 16 and he’s now blind and sleeps most of the time now. I’m really sad but he has a long good life. We used to do all kinds of rally training together, all 8 lbs of his and beating bigger dogs on a race.
 
@880 @QuelleFromage Off topic I know... But the Michelle Lamy/Loree Rodkin collaboration jewellery is branded Hunrod
you can see examples if you google the name.
I'm too lazy today to take a pic of me wearing my ring but its brass and silver with small yellow and grey and white diamonds
My DH actually said "you're paying for the name...." when he saw the ring I'd treated myself to from my bonus one year...He never says that about anything (I did get 25%discount off due to my job so actually didn't pay the full 12k :happydance:)...I kind of agree that the raw materials dont justify the cost but I LOVE the designs and always wanted a Hunrod ring..
They are truly under the radar unlike the Birkin these days!!!!!

Well, Darla went to the vet yesterday.
The staff raved about how sweet she is…and she weighs 13.65lbs. She was 6lbs on 6/2/2021.

She’s going to be a big girl.

EB, Darla is too cute for words! I'm down to my last Cavalier, and she had back surgery last week. I can't imagine being without a dog, but at almost 72, I know the next one won't be a puppy. You have to share all of Darla's milestones with so we can enjoy them, too! :heart:

My one is closest to the 2nd one on the right but much longer (reaches the knuckle) it has an engraved gold plaque with lips on it (as in speak no evil....it was one of only 3 designs made in a collaboration with the make-up artist Pat McGrath, one has an eye engraved, one has lips and one had a crown...My CEO brought the one with the crown on) I will get round to posting a pic in Non H indulgences in order to keep this on topic!
Tbh The only reason I think DH made the comment was because he was shocked all the brass bits weren't actually gold!..but it was such an 'un him' comment I was quite thrown!:smile:

Chat threads are where "anything goes." So chat away. I find this discussion of rings interesting.

Have you guys ever seen the ring designs of Elie Top, a Parisian jewelry. His stuff is on 1st Dibs. He does some shield rings I like, unfortunately they cost $20-30K. I'm hoping someone eventually copies him at a more affordable price point.

I looked at the Hunrod rings. They're very different from anything I've seen before except possibly the YSL Arty ring. Certainly they are a new take on modernist jewelry.
 
It’s so pretty! Don’t see a variety of birds in our neighbourhood these days. However, cormorants, which are considered aggressive feeders in our area, have been taking over and eating up fish in our lakes.
True. I see much fewer birds than usual. Twenty years ago I saw a red cardinal hanging around my window. Never saw one again. Bug spray is one of the things that is toxic to birds. Be nice if a spray was made that didn't affect birds. I guess that would be organic farming.
