Bits & Bobs

These are just a mixed bag of odd things, not handmade, that I've picked up here and there. I'm going to have more stuff on this page, as I get decent photos....

Interesting bit o'info for you: my ZIP code is 65804, so if you know your ZIP code, you can toddle over to the USPS Postal Calculator to find out exactly what the shipping will be! It even has an option for calculating international postage! Woohoo! So, let's say a bunny in California, named, oh, let's call him "Wally," orders the standing bun s&p shakers. He goes to the USPS website, discovers that it's actually cheaper to have his shakers sent first class -- $2.21 -- than to have them sent parcel post -- $3.75! He binkies with glee, and sends me $4.71.... He can now add salt, or pepper, or both, to his cheese!

Please remember, if you order multiple items, the shipping's going to go up a little bit, since I'll box 'em all together, and that box will add a little more weight. But it still won't cost as much as shipping items separately!

Oh, yeah, that "feathers" thing is a secret Woody Allen joke.... Although, it could also refer to bird-related stuff. Under the "One-Shot" category, I'm going to put things that don't fit in the other categories, and things that are truly one-of-a-kind, like some earrings my sister made.

	The standing bunnies weren't quite what you wanted? How about these? Only $2.25 for the set, plus shipping. Shipping weight: 6.3 ounces.
	I found another set of standing bunnies. Sorry, they're not naked like the first pair.... But they're still pretty cute. Only $2.25 for the set, plus shipping. Shipping weight: 5.9 ounces.

	What goes together better than hares and tortoises? This is supposed to be an outdoor "bird feeder" but there's no way I'm putting mine outdoors! It'll be a candy dish or something.... Height: 8.5". Base diameter: 6". Only $12.00, plus shipping. Shipping weight: I'll get back to you....
	Turtle windchimes. The "pipes" are little brass rods. Top shown to left, danglies show to right. Picture doesn't do it justice. I didn't measure it, but I can if you like. Only $3.50, plus shipping. Shipping weight: Uh, forgot to weigh this one, too. It's fairly light, though, being resin....
	Hands up, now: how many of us have seen our shell people stack just like this? Another small resin figure, only 4.25" long. Only $2.50, plus shipping. Shipping weight: 12 ounces.
	A vividly-colored votive holder, intended for wall mounting (hence the folded handkerchief to balance it). Resin, candle comes with. Come on, how can you resist that fabulous green? Hmm? 6.5" tall, 4.75" wide. Only $5.30, plus shipping. Shipping weight: 1 pound, 7.1 ounces.

	This is, despite its anthropomorphism, a very touching little piece. Anyone who knows anything about elephants knows how much the mothers, and indeed the whole herd, care for the babies. And the little bandage is the perfect touch, eh? Very small version, only 4" tall. This is available in two larger sizes. Only $2.50, plus shipping. Shipping weight: 6.2 ounces.
	Not your traditional blue or gray, are they? I thnk these bronze-tone dolphins are lovely. And they're small, only 4.75" tall! Only $2.85, plus shipping. Shipping weight: 9.7 ounces.
	Dolphins on a date? Doing the tango? Should we even speculate...? A charming petite figure, just 4" tall. Only $2.25, plus shipping. Shipping weight: 4.4 ounces.
	Hmm. Much easier to figure this one out, isn't it? Dolphin parent and child. Well, okay, maybe it's an aunt and niece. Or older sib, younger sib. Juvie officer and miscreant. Ah, hell. Still pretty appealing, eh? Only 3" tall! Only $2.25, plus shipping. Shipping weight: 2.7 ounces.

A hummingbird plaque with votive. Wall-mounted, like the frog one. And folks, because they're resin, they'll do just fine outside. What a garden deco this would be, eh? 6.5" tall, 4.75" wide. Only $5.30, plus shipping. Shipping weight: 1 pound, 7.1 ounces.

	These are wired-bead earrings my sister made. Who knows if she'll do any more...? Sometimes she gets bored with craft projects, eh? Only $6.00 a pair, plus shipping. Shipping weight: Incredibly light. They could even go in a regular envelope at regular postage, with just some padding. Unless you buy them all....
