I got my stuff today!!!!!! :clapping:

I got two pieces of rough tanzanite that are a lovely color. I cannot wait to spend some time and see what kind of energy I feel from them. And a lovely big piece of amber, wrapped in wire for hanging purposes. I'm planning on hanging it as an amulet from the mirror in my car, since it can be used for luck and protection, both of which are handy things to have on the road...

...and I also just sent mine today...sorry...took me a while to get to the shop:bigredblu

Yay!!! Do you know who your buddy is?

Nope...the note inside is signed "Dove" but I didn't see anyone in the original thread with that in their name. (But it's late and I'm tired, so it may very well be there). And I PM'd my person before I bought her stuff, cause I didn't know it was a secret...I thought people were paired up and sent things to each other, so I didn't think there would be a secret...(Oi! I just reread that...I'm sorry...like I said, I'm really tired)

I got my package today - thank you so much Wanderer In Grey!
The iolite beads are lovely - they positively vibrate. :) The little polished stone is actually a smoky banded agate, but I like it all the same - it's beautiful. And the candy just made me smile. :)

Thanks again!

Got my stones in the mail this morning. Thanks so much AquariusWolf. The agates are perfect for what I wanted them for and the extra bag of miscellaneous stones was really thoughtful The baby approves-- she reached over and grabbed the bag and wouldn't let go for a minute or two-- really strong grip for a 2 day old.

Thank you so much dragonkin, i absoloutly LOVED what you sent me. And, she even sent me a little extra as a birthday pressie, your a star!!

I havent been able to get very good photos, unfortunatly, but here are the photos i took.

She got me a green fairy scarf, which is just gorgeous! A celtic pendant, a pentagram pendant with Apatite crystal inside, a beautiful crystal quartz point & a STUNNING silver moonstone ring, which fits me perfect! And i have been searching everywhere for the "right" moonstone ring, i don't have to search anymore :)

I feel as though i've been really spoilt, it's certainly lifted my spirits, thanks sweetie :hugz:

Ach! It recently came to attention that although I let my buddy know privately that I got my package, I never posted here! I got a lovely fist-sized piece of Jet, some beautiful agates, and a bag of smaller, tumbled stones from Lady Jade. I've much enjoyed them, thank you!
