RARE beauties: VotePalantine, GTS fork, Redoodle, LillaRose

Congrats Calaelen, I’m so happy that you got one of your unicorns!!!

I wasn’t around into hair care yet when the shop was active, but it sure was interesting to read the story behind it!

Thank you KokotheHen!
It's nice to see you

*waves at Calaelen and KokotheHen* I haven't "seen" you guys since the swap *smilies* Thank you for writing about it, Calaelen! I find LHC and hairtoy history so cool! It's so sad that the lady's stuff is so beautiful and different but she closed shop so quickly. I understand that it hurts to have her stuff ripped off, though. I like the way you write. It sounds so mystical at the end "never returned" and "after a couple of years it became very rare to see one..."*dreamy sigh* Like "LHC Lore"...

I did find her shop, though. Thanks to people who left reviews, I can drool over her stuff. I had never seen Spalted Elm Wood or Sugar Elm Wood before and it looks really cool! I have just learned that I love cold colored white wood with lines XD Can you just imagine a Gothic arch made out of one of those with greenish blue inlay *dreamy sigh* Oh *wakes from reverie* I mean, I can see what you mean by "perfect cuts"!

The top looks like the top of a slime from Final Fantasy It's super cute. The off centered middle of the top of the prongs design she uses is very stylish, too. Maybe she'll see these posts and come back...*daydreams*

You're right, it has been since the Winter Swap :

I am so happy that it's still possible to see the items, that's how I made my lists of the ones I dream of the most!! (Etsy and Pinterest boards, which I use like vision boards LMAO! ) Aren't spalted woods just AMAZING?? Those lines are called spalting, and they happen when the tree is affected by a fungus after it has died, but caught before it starts to rot! A gothic would look gorgeous in spalted elm!

Hi Calaelen! I have been ridiculously busy and haven't been on this site forever. It is so good to see that you are still around and that you got something that you really wanted. I got really happy when I read that. This thread makes me feel hugely guilty though. I have at least a half dozen of her pieces that I never wear these days 'cause they are two big for my hair. A couple of them are really early pieces that were altered because her first stuff had no head curve and was very thick. One additional piece you wouldn't even know it was hers but I found the listing in her shop ages ago so I know it is. Plus a pair of matching forks. Anyway, if I had a hot minute in my life I would list them, but doing things like packing stuff up and getting to the post office is just impossible for me these days.

Hi Lunasea!
Thanks for the congrats! It's been awhile! Seeing as you're insanely busy, I won't asks for pics now, but if ever you get the time, I would be interested to see the early ones that don't look like her signature pieces, even if it is just to see!
I sent a pm with other things to say. Lol.

Congrats Calaelen! I was hoping you'd snag that the second I loaded this thread!

Thank you Nightshade! That broaches a question though, threads have to be loaded by a mod? All of them?
