Hi again, your inbox is full. Thank you for your response re: customs form, that's brilliant. I've just gone to pay and it gives me a choice of which currency to use. If you'd prefer CAD then please let me know how much the USD $33.45 converts to

thanks!

EDIT: Yep, they showed up today! Yay!

Yay!!

I am very glad they arrived! How funny that it showed just as you were getting impatient..lol. Are they both a good fit? I was slightly worried you had missed the size of the Elymwold stick, given that the fork is MUCH smaller. I hope both have found a good home

The fork is sort of special because it's made from a tree that fell in the maker's yard. A tree that was also used to make a flexi 8 style Hairtoy that was part of a travelling Hairtoy swap we had on this forum years ago, hosted by myself, that the maker generously offered to make for us. (That was before she had an Etsy shop and had gone professional with hair accessories) It was called The Sisterhood of the Travelling Hairtoy, but it became Hairtoys plural..lol.

I love them both. It may be weird, but I prefer my hairtoys to be oversized. I want to SEE them. My motto is, "the bigger, the better!" As long as it doesn't fall out, I'll wear it. I also like that I won't outgrow them.

How cool to know the history of the fork. I was drawn to it because of the spalted wood. I love interesting wood grains. The same with the hair stick. Plus it's an Elymwold and I adore his work.

I am SO happy to read this, and I must say not only are you not weird, you have pretty good judgement because both look so good on you regardless of the fact that most would consider them oversized. I actually might try to see if I can embrace the oversized look a bit more now that I have seen how you're rocking it!! I have an entire box of hair toys I considered now too big for me since losing a lot of hair to both shedding and mechanical damage, and was losing hope that I would ever be able to wear again since I now literally could drop dead at any moment..so thank you for that.

Yes, absolutely! Get those hairtoys out of the box and wear them. Life is too short. Enjoy the toys!
