Opal Lady or Kurly Blush? What do you think? http://marbleconnection.com/topic/13019-alleys-blue-skies-and-blush-lines/?p=111579

Whoa!

Thank you. I hope it finds a good home.

Thanks, Galen. Pretty sure that's the ad I was thinking of. Yes, it sounds like this early version at least would be moonie-like.

Noooooo ... haven't been to a Halloween party in a long time. My husband might get dressed up ... he does that sometimes. He's the fun one. Not me.

I have so much goofy stuff around the house which I need to get rid of so we can get the quantity down to manageable levels for the move. First installment of "What was I thinking?" Off to ebay it goes! ... when I can find boxes the right size. (There's also stuff I wouldn't want to try to package ... anyone need an old Ace Hard Rubber Comb display case? .... what WAS I thinking ....)

Need to take another picture of this one. The cats were curious so I went with the first shot. Settings need to be tweaked and I need to steady the camera. Enjoy anyway. Master Marble Company at the 1933-34 World's Fair

Transparent Swirl. Alley. Possibly one with a name like "something lady". Having a continuous ribbon would be typical of a swirl and wouldn't automatically make it a wire pull.

Ohhhh what a crisp, beautiful Tiger Eye.

Somewhere there is at least one ad which mentions fire opals .... and somehow I have failed to include that in my Akro timeline thread. If anyone can beat me to finding it, that would be cool. Not sure if it would settle anything but it would be a good start.

What will you be going as?

good observation

Ah, I don't know about that marble. I figured it was a solid which got slipped in as a place saver for a missing marble.

So it's more of a grown-up thing there? The kids don't go door to door for candy?

Please tell us about Halloween in Amsterdam. Is there a particular Halloween color combination there?

What a pretty combination of earthenware colors.

Jan: Yellow Feb: Red Mar: Orange Apr: Pink May: Black Jun: Green Jul: Red/White/Blue Aug: Turquoise Sep: Purple Oh noze, we've already done Orange and Black ..... Dare we do them again for October? Here's a Tom Thornburgh jack o'lantern (from a marblebert auction).

I definitely need one of those. My first username on this forum was modularforms. And that one looks like even cats could play with it without hurting anything.

Ric? Are you out there? Ron?

The creators of one of the shows I watch on DVD -- I think it was the Simpsons -- said they'd often put in product names and hope they got positive feedback about it later. Maybe it was Psych. Wasn't anything they needed to clear apparently. Or anything anyone paid for. And sometimes they got a token of gratitude and sometimes they didn't. So maybe Wawa did pay for the product placement or give permission, but hard to say.

The thumbnails do make them look like kin.

I support calling it a snotty even without knowing who made it. I'm getting better at opaque swirls but am nowhere near brave enough to try transparent swirls.
